Yep. Word was Loma's side was all agreed to and HBO low balled Salido because their budget in 2016 is . Word is their budget is supposed to be back to normal next year and that was the target from Salido's side. He knew that Lomachenko wanted the fight, so he could hold out for more money.

I don't have a problem with either side. Now...if this fight doesn't get made in the first half of next year .

If their budget is going up for 2017, that means somebodies not fighting on their channel next year.

Wont be; Loma, Crawford, Canelo, Krusher and I can't see it being Cotto/Ward.

Looks like times up for Manny.

Erislandy Lara and Yuri Foreman close to deal for Jan. fight

The Rabbi and The American Dream could be meeting in the ring in 2017.

Erislandy Lara is in advanced talks to defend his 154-pound title against Yuri Foreman, a former champion and ordained rabbi for the first quarter of 2017, a source told RingTV.com on Wednesday. Both sides have agreed to the match, the source said, with Jan. 13 in Florida eyed as a date and destination.

The rationale for Lara, whose nickname is “The American Dream,” facing Foreman, a skilled 36-year-old who has fought just twice since 2013, is to get Lara a stay-busy fight before taking on the challenge of a unification match with another junior middleweight titleholder. Jermell Charlo, who holds the WBC 154-pound title, is eyed as a likely opponent, another source said. The southpaw Lara (23-2-2, 13 knockouts) had also been in talks to face Luis Collazo, another former titleholder, before narrowing his focuse on Foreman.

Lara, the WBA champion and a Cuban defector, last fought on May 21, winning a rematch against Vanes Martirosyan in Las Vegas. Brooklyn’s Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) seemed to peak in 2009 when he won a 154-pound title against Daniel Santos with a wide decision. A boxer who relies on his legs and reflexes, Foreman lost his next fight to Miguel Cotto at Yankee Stadium in 2010, sustaining a knee injury before the bout was stopped in the ninth round.

Foreman stepped away from the ring for two years before he returned in December of 2015 against Lenwood Dozier. He won a decision then, and he stopped Jason Davis in the second round in June. Now, if a deal is made, Foreman will be stepping way up in class against the Cuban stylist.

I wouldn't be surprised. In one of Dan's chats, he basically said that HBO doesn't feel the need to be invested in Pacquiao because of who he is anymore. If it makes financial sense and because it is Arum they'll probably revisit, but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Pacquiao fought elsewhere.

As you said HBO looks to be loading up on Loma, Crawford, Canelo, Kovalev, GGG, and Chocolatito. They play around with Ward, but I think still want him. And obviously since Cotto's fights are mostly Roc Nation PPV's, they can still put him on with minimal financial risk.

Times are changing.

speaking of Salido..before his slide is accelerated by his wars, I really need to go see him fight live

so far the only fight in 2017 that i have plans to attend (barring no conflict with my other 3 non-boxing vacas/getaways in the works) is thurman-garcia..but salido-lomachenko 2 can get done and the card is decent i may have to be in the house for it

I still don't understand why the fight hasn't been made "official" yet though



Thurman needs to sign the contract
