Will Lomachenko call out/announce a fight with Rigo this Saturday after his win?

Ball is in Rigo's court. Always been.
The Cuban is too terrified of using a phone.
All he can do is tweet.

Someone needs to contact Yormark to start the ball rolling.
Rigo camp by itself is helpless. Can't do anything but tweet.
Even better idea is to tell Yormark to buy a ringside seat for Rigo in the Marriaga fight. Then climb up the ring in the post fight interview.
Even that seems too terrifying for the Cuban.

Since when did Rigo express any serious interest in fighting Loma? Sure, he tweets some antagonizing statements posing as the guy who wants the fight, but in all honesty, if he expects a 50/50 split then he is pricing himself out of the fight. Rigo has stalled his career for years now. He could have fought Loma at 126 but didn't want it. Honestly, Loma doesn't need Rigo, but Rigo needs Loma if he wants a bigger payday than $150K.

Loma is in a position to make a historic fight for boxing. How doesn't he need Rigo to accomplish this?

When you have an all time great talent like Rigo knocking on your door and willing to fight you at your weight class, if you care about your reputation, you need to fight...simple..

Top Rank is the A side, they should be trying to reach a deal. If Loma says he wants to fight Rigo (which has has) then why shouldn't Top Rank get the ball rolling...

I'm quite sure, BTW, that the ball is rolling and negotiations are happening...the hang up is probably about money... This whole drama about Rigo needing to "call" Top Rank and Loma offering a win take all, are just covers, something to fall back on, if the negotiations don't work out, imo.

Well, Rigo hasn't been knocking on the door all that hard. Easy to tweet out challenges, it's another thing to sit down and negotiate realistically. Rigo needs to know his worth and negotiate accordingly. I see him pricing himself out if and when talks get serious. I predict he also won't fight Davis or Russell Jr.

nope hes ducking rigo (the guy whos not fought a fighter with a pulse in years), he dont wanna witness the slickness first hand...

[TheCell8]

He'll be fighting Salido later this year.

You can make millions of threads about this and it won't do a damn thing.
Other than repeat the same Loma is ducking Rigo narrative nonsense.
You heard what the TR chief said. Pick up the phone and call.
It doesn't have to be him.
These fighters pay their team management to do the negotiations for them. Make use of it. Simple as that.

No. Max will probably ask him some soft-ball set-up question that helps put Loma in a good light, but Loma's crew doesn't want this fight (management, Arum, etc) and he's just going along with it. Most boxers follow their manager's advice. That's why they pay them.
