    If Rigo is so keen to fight Loma..

    Then why isn't he making a financial offer to VL's team? Why is the onus on Lomahenkos team to make HIM an offer to fight? He does all the talking! Make the offer! Could it be that he has no financial clout? Isn't a big financial asset? Can't get his backer's to pay up? Or is he just a twitter troll never intending to really make the fight but using the modicum of hype it generates to keep himself as relevant as he can?

    Loma just fought a Featherweight coming off a loss doe and Rigo breaking jaws.

      Because he's old, desperate and is looking to cash out.

      What are his other options? He is due to rematch Moises Flores, but who's going to pick that fight up? He can't appear on networks in the US unless someone puts him on the PPV undercard.

      He's looking at another $100K pay day and will likely end up on the Cotto-Lemieux PPV undercard in December, or on the Ward-Bellew undercard, if that fight ever gets made.

      This fight is his only real chance to cash out.

        Do you honestly think that Top Rank would actually entertain a fight where someone else was running the show? lol. Mayweather-Pacquiao was a $500m fight, and Arum *****ed throughout that whole thing.

        If RocNation puts up an ask, RocNation would control the event.

        Pick the venue, pick the sponsors, pick the TV (domestically and internationally). Arum wouldn't go for that shot if the offer for Loma was even $1.5m.

        With the reality being what it is, Arum making the offer is the only way that the matchup gets made.

          I don't think he is.
          Everyone got bamboozled by this tweeting guy masquerading as Rigo.
          He rejected the fight at 126 which he and his team dictated initially in 2015.
          What makes you think he will fight at 130?

              there are certain fanbases that are just thick and ******...the EE fanboy/anti black fighter brigade are just that

              the same group going around saying "well if lara is so keen to fight GGG then why dont his people make an offer"...all the while claiming GGG is some superstar

              its simple.....Loma is the bigger name with the bigger network exposure....he seeks out opponents...hes in that position...its up to him to push this fight forward if he wants it.......i dont think loma doesnt want the rigo fight...but his promoter absolutely does NOT...

                    He rejected the fight because of the **** offer that was made by Mr A-side with a 4-1 record.

                    Rigo's the one who always wanted the fight and Loma never was interested and made it very clear. The guy wants to get paid, anyone thinks he would be physically scared of a pillow punching ballerina like Loma is an idiot.
