Comments Thread For: Lomachenko on Rigondeaux: I Learned Nothing, It Was Easy!

[killakali]

Rock Nation?? They don't know how to do business. They lost a lot of money with Andre Ward, lol. Make no mistake, they're all getting paid. Rigo reportedly got paid 400,000 for this fight. Plus whatever Arum gave him to quit on his stool, which I'm guessing wasn't much. And after Rigo subsidizes all his expenses he'll be left with chump change.

arum didn’t need to pay Rigo to stay on his stool. Loma humiliated him into staying on his stool on his own.

This is how the business works. Top Rank pays RNS a POS for Rigo. They could have given RNS 800k for all we know. Then it’s up to Rigo’s Mgr to negotiate with RNS on how Rigo’s purse will be. Make no mistake about it, Top Rank paid Roc more than 400k to get this fight done

Humiliating him? How?? Sure, Loma was landing more yeah, but it's not like he was rolling right through Rigo.There's a lot of moments in the fight where Loma was trying to land shots on Rigo's head and missing. I mean they bareky touched each other hard. To me it was like "Ok, I'm not supposed to win this fight and I'm getting paid anyway so why keep going and risk getting hurt? So he quit. I can see Arum talking to Rigo through an interpreter before the fight and saying to him "You know, we're trying to build this guy into Nomaschenko so all you have to do is box and quit somewhere mid fight, we'll say you have a hand injury and then we'll try to save face by saying you went up in weight, etc and you'll get a bonus by playing along" Lol. Arum is trying to build this Nomaschenko thing with Loma and the opponents quitting on their stool. It's so transparent, lol. Oh, and maybe Roc Nation got more, but Rigo only saw 400k allegedly.

I TOLD YOU that you would give no credit and admit NOTHING you said you "won't front"..Haha I was RIGHT on the fight and your analysis. Typical. If the result goes against you it's fixed. Your just not that good at viewing the sport objectively and it's all based on the color of the fighters.

Never crossed your mind that Mayweather fights are fixed given how much money is involved? No not at all but a fight with purses combining $1.6m is an obvious fix? Come on grow up.

So your true colors come out....I don't ever pick the skin color, I always go with the skill & the skill Rigo has he did not put on display for the fight. It could of been many things but you cant sit there & honestly tell me Rigo put effort in that fight other than make loma miss a lot & not countering like he usually does. So you have loma to ride on & when the wheels fall off what are you going to say, he old now, he fought a guy too big for him or he rushed his career? What is it gonna be? I know what you already thinking of writing next. You gon say mickey won't fight him but we all know mickey got off a court case with bob & do you think bob wants to do business with mickey after that? bob will tell you mickey doesn't want to fight & you gon choose to believe it....you might be the one picking the skin color....

Mikey turned down Linares too even with no contract. He's loyal to haymon and said he wants to only fight on Showtime. That's his problem. Haymon will advise against a Loma fight

Rigo couldn't get nothing going. He was in with a different animal. Loma wasn't there to be countered and Rigo could gain no control or land so he went into a defensive shell and started fouling then quit.

You definitely have a different standard for white fighters and give them a harder time. I don't care it is what it is. I don't care about colors in life or boxing. My favorites are from all over and I don't change up my standards or criterias based on it.

floyd aint never make anyone quit and then comes back and said it was easy work. floyd went the full 12 rounds on a suppose "easy work" opponent then comes back and said it was "easy work".. that's the difference...
