Comments Thread For: Arum: Lomachenko's Next NYC Fight Will be at MSG's Main Arena

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Vasyl Lomachenko's critics have pointed to the size of the venues in which he has fought during his rise to prominence. While his abililty inside the ring is undeniable, the Ukrainian southpaw's detractors contend that he hasn't established himself as a draw commensurate with his talent in the United States. His promoter, Bob Arum, feels Lomachenko's fight against Guillermo Rigondeaux has proven otherwise.

I respect Loma's skills, but I don't think he is nearly as popular as Arum thinks he is.

After Loma destroys Rigo...

After Loma DESTROYS Rigo...He will become a major SUPER STAR! Get off the couch and put down the Burger King! Loma is training to be #1!

He has been fighting in small venues for a reason and his is not fluent in English. Still needs a translator at times. Loma has yet to draw a million viewers on what is basically a regular tv channel in ESPN. His ratings were the same as they were on HBO, and HBO is premium channel compared to ESPN. Every Top Rank fight on ESPN has been pretty much a pain in the @ss to watch. They never start on time or have to
be switching through ESPN channels to find it. I hope the Loma/Rigo fight doesn't have those problems.

Not so sure. This fight sold out quickly and if he's able to win and people tune in I think it could draw 10k or more.

I'm not giving Rigo much of a chance but I really hope he can upset Loma. Arum needs to sit down.

Loma vs Mikey will make him popular.
