Comments Thread For: Linares: Fighting Lomachenko at MSG is a Dream Come True

[BLACK KNOT]

He's been with Golden Boy and Oscar since 2009. Oscar claims to make stars but hasn't done anything for Linares even thought he's been a top fighter. He receives no promotion for GB and it shows when his fights at the Forum have less than 2k fans. He has to travel to the UK to get paid more than what Oscar pays him. Even with the fight next week, GB isn't even promoting or hyping up the Linares fight. All of their social media outlets don't even mention Linares. But yet Oscar says he can promote and make anyone a star.

oscar is full of shi I mean *****s and kitchen utensils.

Btw Cristiano Ronaldo will support Loma in the arena. He promised Klimas in Switzerland last month that he will attend Loma´s fight against Linares.

I'm going to this fight too. I got the floor seats section 1 tickets. Looking forward to it.

I think Linares will not quit and unlike Rigo he's coming to fight but I suspect he'll be outclassed. I think the action will be fun though a lot of speed and skill on both sides.

Probably not. But! I've watched just one last fight of Linares and seems to me he was hit too much over his front hand. Very bad habit, especially as Lomachenko likes a lot to attack from that angle. That could be a key. And we must not forget that not only the fighter may quit, but his corner as well... (e.g. Sosa) We'll wait and see in 10 days!

[officermaloy]

And, haven't seen good jab from Linares, so it could be hard for him to keep Loma on distance. Just opinion...

I was at the fight, my cousin got free tickets. The Forum was pretty much empty. Linares was paid 250k according to the purses filed with the commission. The whole payout in purses for the 5 fights on the card were less 400k. Linares got 250k and Campbell got 100k. Everyone else got between 4k-10k.
