Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Talks Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux

[McNulty]

If I was managing Rigondeaux, internally our mark would be 1 million minimum. A dollar less, declined. 1.5 million would be a nicer number considering he has to move up so much weight to even be considered for the fight.

It'd be understandable on loma's part to want the rematch, but imo it should have happened instead of the sosa or marriaga mismatches. no one asked for either of those fights. as a fan, i wouldnt mind if we get the rigo fight first this year, and then loma can get his rematch next year. unless of course he loses to rigo, which will be another L he'll wanna reverse

Well I get the opinion that Salido knows how valuable the rematch is to Loma, but Loma is represented by the penny pincher Arum thus its no surprise its been difficult coming to terms. But yea if Loma & Salido were the only ones in control of making that rematch I suspect we'd have seen it already. Business of boxing & all that bs doe.....

Rigo is just too small... from 122 to 130 is a huge step! I wanna see the fight, but I want it to be fair. At top level, weight plays a big role..

He's not gonna get that doe. I'm more of a Rigo fan then Loma fan, but Rigo NEEDS a name & Loma is the only name thats offering him anything at this point.

And honestly in my eyes its a no lose situation for Rigo. If he beats Loma 2 divisions north of his current weight then he's the mfing man & if he loses he lost to a guy 2 weight divisions bigger than him. F#ck undefeated records & all that bs. I'd rather see Rigo make an attempt & come up short then to fight nobodies for another few years & end his career undefeated or only losing once he's well past it.

Just pay Rigo 1 million.

I want to see that fight especially if its at MSG

[DocGreenThumb.]

Make it happen Bob at 128 dont fuc it up give Rigo a pay day and us fans what we want been wanting this fight almost as much as I want GGG Connello. Get It Done.

This is a boxing purist dream match, two incredibly high skilled guys, but I'm gonna be honest, I think the weight difference between the two could play a huge factor in the fight.

I think Rigo is the harder puncher. He breaks jaws

[MDPopescu]

Arum will take Salido, eventually...

Rigo is too small for Lomo ****** fight idea-match Lomo tougher

Rigo is rodent sized a tiny child 3rd grader. Match Lomo with Mikey then and make a decent scrap. Why waste time on little bug sized Rigo-nothing?? Dumb idea
