The Vasyl Lomachenko Rematch Clause Official Story Doesn't Even Make Sense

[johny joe hdz]

My boy Loma thought he was gonna school and beat this kid up bad, so no need for a rematch and the fans would've said: "what's the point of a rematch when Loma beats him up 10 out of 10"? HI TECH can be a little arrogant

Negotiations for this fight were not easy going. Leaving out the rematch clause was probably what it took to get everyone on the same page financially. Not unheard of.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Teo wasn't happy with the new terms he was offered after the fight was rescheduled. We know he was then offered a bit more money. Maybe the lack of a rematch clause for Loma was another little sweetener?

A lot goes on in fight negotiations that we don't get to hear about.

This was a unification fight. Rematch clauses in unification fights historically aren't standard like they are in regular voluntaries.

The people calling Loma arrogant for not having a rematch clause are the same people who would now be bitching and crying about if he did have one!

Why blame loma? It’s his promoters job. Naive promoting.

I'd argue it's his managers job to get the promoter to include a rematch clause. Definitely not Loma's fault either way.

Boxers should worry about boxing. The manager should be worried about the business of boxing sh^t. That's assuming Loma didn't specifically ask to not add a rematch clause which could be the case idk.

Ultimately the no rematch clause could work in benefit of both fighters doe. If a rematch happens it would likely be a PPV. It would likely have a better than you'd have expected buy rate cuz of how many folks saw the first fight. So it might be a good thing there wasn't a rematch clause.

Whoever won the fight would have been pressed to defend the titles by the various organizations, so a rematch clause didn't make sense.

Just wondering, who says the official story is that Loma was offered a rematch clause and turned it down?

I remember Arum saying he doesn't believe in them. Just before this fight funnily enough.

Yep it would be "he's being a prima donna" or "he's scared he'll lose".

Not being at the negotiations I have no idea why there was no rematch clause and neither does anyone else who knows nothing about the negotiations and would just be guessing.

Lol

First of Loma was as healthy as Lopez and he still lost.

As for why no clause you answered the question already.

PURE ARROGANCE!!!!!!’

Loma stands no chance at ever beating Lopez who just better than him in every dept.

Lopez winning rounds 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and 12. But Loma clearly outfought him and kicked his ass in rounds 8 9 10 and 11. If Lopez is so vastly superior to Loma as you claim he would not have had his butt kicked for 4 rounds in a row. You are by far the biggest hater of good Eastern European boxers on the board. Some other posters hate them all too but you are by far the biggest hater of them. Your opinion on them is so bias that it is worthless. For some reason you hate all Eastern European boxers and love Mexicans and Latin boxers. You think Canelo is a god and now you have a new good in Lopez. Lopez is the super arrogant guy not Loma.
