Soooooo Salido is bytching about the $$$ for a Loma rematch
His team says they were offered less then "bum Martinez"
Very interesting how not a god damn soul is telling Salido "jus take the money" or "he's ducking"
Spoonface retweeting Team Salido N replying "Orale" instead tho
Bet anything if it was Trex arms Spoonface would be singing a different tune tho
with all the great fights Salido has given us over the years, he's one dude that I wouldn't want to see short changed. Plus he got the 1st win over Loma. Why would he play himself and take less money. He coming off of 3 straight FOTY contenders (if we counting 2015)
with that said, you right.
Let a PBC nikka want some more money and that shyt will spiral into 20 different articles and shyt.

Yea I got no problem with Salido wanting to get paid
Same way I got no issues with any of these other boxers wanting to get paid what they worth
Especially when its not some off the wall number like Walters but he still got shytted on etc...

Should be a nice bout
Pascal can show probably last time that he still has it while Smith cn establish himself as a contender proving that he didn't win against Fonfara just because he got lucky
Yup and Walters aint even ask for some crazy figures. He said he would have settled for 750k, which I thought was reasonable. HBO wasn't even trying to entertain that.
It almost feels like the powers that be decide in advance what fights we're gonna get and we just gotta roll with it.
For some reason, I like Cotto vs Peterson.
Both guys are typically in entertaining fights. In a P4P sense, I actually think Peterson is better than Trout. However, he's the smaller man & loses every time he has a big fight. It's a fight Cotto should win.
Whatever Peterson did during training camp for the Garcia fight, he needs to do that exact same regime. Despite the "loss," that was the best version of Peterson I have ever seen. If he realized earlier in the fight that Garcia had nothing for him, he would have won that fight clearly. It was just a terrible matchup for Danny stylistically.
@ Cotto. You know what I like about Cotto? He watches how other nyggas move as far as business & implements it. He saw the way Mayweather moved. Cotto is like you know what, I will do the exact same shyt. He saw how Canelo was luring guys in lower weight classes. Cotto is like you know what? Let me drag Marquez or someone like a Lamont Peterson up to 154.
Cotto plays the game & I feel the way he moves gets overlooked.

idk why Arum and HBO don't trust him enough. He looked like a legit talent with immense power for featherweight-superfeather with a entertaining style... still pretty young, has upside, can move up in the future because he's quite big even in 130.

Miguel With roach would beat Austin imoThe fact Austin Trout gave him that work gives me reason to believe King Pete can do the same
Amare's Right Hook
Southeast World Champion
What channel is the PBC show tonight ?
What do you think the difference would be that would cause Cotto to win? Left hook bail out answer wont work if you've seen the fight.
Miguel was moving his feet better w fredrick though

Miguel was a totally different fighter against canelo than trout.
