Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Dares Rigondeaux To Do 'Winner Takes All' Bout

[TexasCowBoy]

It should happen at the lowest weight Loma can make without being drained. Since he's been bulking up in anticipation of a move up to 135, I'm not sure he can make anything below 130 now, but if he can still make 128 comfortably, I'd love to see it as low as possible that he can still make comfortably.

Rigo having to move up in weight sucks, but as we saw with Canelo-Chavez, being over-drained even by 1 pound is much worse than having to move up even 10 pounds. Whatever Lomachenko honestly, in his heart, can make without being drained, that's the weight I'd like to see, but if 130 is as low as he can get now, then 130 it is.

Rigondeaux already offered to do it at 130, so if Loma were to take the coward Floyd/Ward perspective of, "I will take every single advantage over my opponent that I can pressure them into agreeing to, so too bad, he already said 130," then the weight wouldn't even be negotiable at this point. But as a true sportsman, and for honor, Lomachenko can offer a lower weight in good faith, and say, "I know you offered to come up to 130, but I can still make 128, and I know that would be more fair for you, so I am willing to do 128," that would be great too.

But like I said, I don't know if he can still make 128, because he's been bulking up in anticipation of a move to 135. So I really don't know. Ideally, it would be at 126 or 128, even 129 would be better than 130, but if it's at 130, then it's at 130, and Rigondeaux will share in the blame for that for declining the fight at 126 when Lomachenko was still there.

By the way, if there are any anti-white fans thinking about posting it should be at 126 just because they hate white fighters, just remember you thought that way if GGG-Ward negotiations ever happen. Because I bet then, instead of saying "it still needs to happen at 168" like you're thinking this still needs to happen at 126, you will probably argue the opposite, how Ward already moved up to 175 so it has to happen there or not at all. Just saying!

Good Post.....Chenko is the Number 1 Pound for Pound Fighter in The World...boringdeaux is just quacking at very high decibels.....reminds me of nick walters.....when Loma offered a winner take most of the money and we all saw walters say no mas

How ****ing hard is it to just offer this dude a decent check? Jesus christ these guys are pranksters.

It'll be on ESPN so the shyt will sell itself. Nobody's doing this winner take all garbage when you have horrible decisions like Pac-Bradley 1. It's a way to seem like you want to fight without actually wanting to fight.

I sure hope this fight happens. I like both fighters now. They really do want to fight the best, each other. Rigo should get good money because this is a super fight.

Loma at 126 - Rigo: "I'll fight anyone from 118-124"

Loma at 130 - Rigo: "I'll right anyone from 118-126"

And $0 of he loses.

Yeah but's is 0 for Loma if he loses, where's his confidence? He wanted the fight he b!tches about it everyday on social media, know we see how much he wants it, not very much

[Lester Tutor]

That was last week, this week it's 500k if Rigo wins.

We agreed to fight! You are the one not accepting Did you hear if you win Loma will pay 500K to you We can put it in contract no joking real https://t.co/zZ7mERFwbB

The offers are getting worse.

This is the same Walters situation. It's obvious this is Top Rank mgmt. their idiots if they think fans can't see this

[EL_GRINGO]

What's crazy is Salido gets offered 750k, but a bigger, career defining fight against Rigo they don't want to offer that much. Rigo deserves at least what they offered Salido. All these conditions etc are bullshit to fool the gullible that they want the fight, when they really don't. If they can offer 750k to Salido they can do the same for Rigo.

My guess would Rigo doesn't even agree to 750,he's thinking a million at least, this is his cashout fight,i say 500000 would be reasonable, tat's 4 times higher then his last fight,Salido's brings more a lot fans to the table,it's normal he get's more, that's how it works

[methodcal]

This is their way of saying "No, thanks." Disappointing.

I love Loma but realistically speaking...... Is that pricing yourself out??

[stuff jones]

Loma is ducking the fight by saying this....

Like Canelo was ducking Chavez Jr. by saying it?

[The Big Dunn]

Loma is one of the best in the world but continually calling out a smaller man is not a good look for him.
