Rigo only getting 400k for tonight

[Vlad_]

Hahaha he turned down 750k at 126 and then accepted 400k at 130? Guys a genius.

Haha, Rigo must definitely feel bad looking back...

I get what you’re saying, but the Salido rematch was personal for Loma, and Arum knew that. I’m sure Top Rank would have made a decent offer money-wise. Didn’t they make an offer for 750K, but Salido ducked?

Yeah something like that, over 700k. But my point isn't that Loma or TR ducked the fight, it's that Salido's asking price is too high (whatever it is) to expect that it will be accepted.

Rigo has been treated like dirt his entire damn career. This is some of the saddest **** I've ever seen.

This is the time we live in. You become a super wealthy celebrity by having your mom leak your sex video, a bafoon with no boxing skills making $100 million from boxing, and a orange con man becomes president of the most powerful country in the world. Hype in todays world, beats substance.

He's also treated himself like dirt. He didn't have to turn down $750k at 126 and accept $400k at 130.

ok since you use that analysis do you agree that GGG ducked Ward then or no?

I'm not 100% sure. Abel Sanchez said GGG would fight anyone from 154-168, when GGG was a nobody with little opportunities. According to GGG, him and Ward sat down with HBO, and tried to work something out. Ward didn't wanna fight at the time, because he was recovering from an injury, and having some issue with his promoter. Then, Ward sent Loeffler a contract as GGG was trying to unify at 160, so that deal fell through. Last I heard about GGG vs Ward, GGG's team sent Ward an offer to fight at 164, which Ward turned down. I think both sides were a bit sus.

id keep a low profile if i was you, saw you got exposed in that other thread.

Could you link that thread? I'm curious about what happened.

This dude is like 70. There is no long run. He's trying to get a payday for the road.

Well maybe not the long run but if he wins he can parlay this into a Frampton fight in Ireland for a good payday.

The ratings for this fight are going to be huge. The Heisman trophy ceremony is the lead in show. They'll get close to a mil and a half just because of that.

[PK3434]

Both guys are getting a little overpayed considering what they bring to the table. But it’s a tough sport so good for them. Plus, the fight did sell out at over 5k tickets. We have seen guys getting paid more for bringing less to the table before.

[GhostofDempsey]

Getting what he deserves. Twice as many fights as Loma and still can't draw. Somehow Salido thinks he is worth more than Rigo. Laughable.
