Somebody explain this to me.....how can someone who just defended his belt, in the Co-Main Event of a PPV for only 120k, be "lowballed" by being offered anything less than 400k?:heh:



Im not understanding this verbiage being thrown around in here:jbhmm:

Well i mean i dont think asking for $400k would be asking for too much considering the magnitude of this (potential) fight.

Loma $800k - $900k

Rigo $375k - $400k

There you go

Montgomery Brothers Ink With Witness Sports Management

MACON, GEORGIA- Boxing veterans, Greg Hannely, founder of the Prince Ranch Boxing facility, and Jared Shaw have joined forces, as they are happy to announce the birth of Witness Sports Management (WSM), a boxing management company that will guide the careers of some of the best young fighters in the sport.

The Montgomery Brothers, Maliek, Mikhail, and Michael Jr., out of Macon, Georgia, are WSM's first signees. The highly touted trio, who were all decorated amateur standouts, are trained by their dad, Michael Montgomery Sr.

"I want to make sure it's known how excited we are to be signing with Jared and Greg," said Michael Montgomery Sr. "I'm happy that my boys are going to be represented by some folks that have been involved in boxing for many years. Greg and Jared have been wonderful to work with. My boys and I are very grateful and we are ready to take the boxing world by storm."

Greg Hannely, is a well-known figure in the sport as he guided the careers of former world champions, Clarence "Bones" Adams and Steven Luevano, back in the 90's and early 2000's. His passion for boxing has brought him back to the sport he loves, and he wants nothing more than to build a stable of world champions.

"I'm very thrilled to be back in boxing, especially after signing the Montgomery Brothers." Greg Hannely said, "Their father, Michael Sr., has been grooming all three boys to fight like professionals. They all have very exciting styles and I believe they will be well received to everyone who witnesses them fight. The Prince Ranch Boxing gym in Las Vegas will be available for the entire Montgomery family. These are good kids with strong family values. Their future is bright."

Jared Shaw, son of world renowned boxing promoter Gary Shaw, has been around the sport since he was a young child. After spending many years learning from his father, Jared, developed a knack for spotting talent.

"If you like pressure fighters with knockout power, then you'll love the Montgomery Brothers." stated Jared Shaw. "Maliek, Mikhail, and Michael Jr., were all great amateurs with over 400 fights combined, but their styles are suited for the pros. All three of them have heavy hands and the ring intelligence to make adjustments on the fly. Greg and I are ecstatic to be working with the entire Montgomery family. This is a fantastic start to our new management company."

"As co-managers, Greg and I started WSM with the idea of cultivating our fighters," Shaw continued. "We want to be looked at as more than just a financial asset. We will provide our stable with the needed resources that will help them become better fighters. We will house our guys at "The Prince Ranch" in Las Vegas, getting them the best sparring in boxing. Our goal is to make sure they have no distractions that will hinder their development

I don't follow amateurs that much, are these dudes nice?

that sounds good
I know some people find Porter's style ugly but I like it and also like his fights. Porter in many ways fights similar to Aaron Pryor I like that style.

"Now, Lomachenko comes up to 130 and even thinking of going to 135, these guys start calling. He's still a 122-pound fighter and he's calling Lomachenko to look back. But [is he] willing to come to 130?"

And with that, Klimas has a very simple message for Team Rigondeaux.

"Come to 130, be my guest," he states.

Could this just be more posturing from the Cuban and his handlers?

"Exactly," agreed Klimas. "Thats what it is. Come to 130 and be my guest to fight Lomachenko."


Rigo - " I'll fight at 130, what up?? :mjgrin:"




Kilmas - :whoa:

Rigo been real quiet since I brought up that 120k he took last week:sas1:









If he really wanted Loma for the challenge and challenge alone, why is he posting about "show me the money" and asking people how much they think he should make?:sas2:



He trying to get a payday...he cant fool me, but if he really wanted a payday, why not go after LSC/PBC which would get him an easier fight for more money?:hubie:



And, he's no longer on RNS either. He doesn't even have a promoter right now:snoop:



So, I really don't know what he's doing except for trying to parlay some tweets into a big payday that he wont get fighting on ESPN vs Loma:yeshrug:

Rigo-Loma is a main event fight though that boy needs to see 500-750 k
