Rigo is calling Lomachenko out....not vice versa. Loma already swatted him away multiple times until Rigo agreed to come up to 130:








So, it Rigo REALLY wants the fight....he needs to accept whatever TR decides to offer him above 240k, instead posting about " #ShowMeTheMoney":







and now he STILL online asking how much do we think he should make








...it's plain as day he's looking for a big payday from TR again, especially being that he JUST got paid only $120,000 by his OWN promoter to co-main event a PPV defending his Championship vs an undefeated opponent, while his stable mate received $6.5 million







Please explain to me how fighting Rigo is going to get Lomachenko some exposure?



Exposure to whom?



Casuals don't watch Rigo, as evidenced by the fact he JUST got paid only $120,000 by his OWN promoter to co-main event a PPV defending his Championship vs an undefeated opponent, while his stable mate received $6.5 million

A name is a name, just like I said, KiRkland got 1.3 Milly, wasn't a draw himself, for a non title non PPV fight, if the fight doesn't happen, then but don't offer him crumbs either

"Ward's trainer has offered to work with me, it is an interesting proposal. I asked my manager to find out if all of this is true and under what conditions... will Ward remain at his current weight as I've heard that he wants to move up. If me and him have the same trainer and we are both in the same weight division, then it doesn't make sense. But I do need a new trainer, I've already made a decision on this for myself," Kovalev told reporters in Russia.

“I need a new specialist, because I made it to this level with all I know. In order for me to jump to the next level, and become better than Ward, I need help of a professional. Moving forward now is the most difficult period."

Kovalev believes that he is draining his body to make the light heavyweight limit of 175, and now he's seriously looking to move up to the cruiserweight limit of 200-pounds.

“Looking at me, you can see that my physical endurance has diminished due to the shedding of weight. Maybe it makes sense to change my weight category, and my next fight, may be as a cruiserweight. I usually lose 10-11 kilograms (around 24 pounds) and my body becomes exhausted. I feel more comfortable when I'm weighing as much as 85 kilograms (187 pounds), because when I'm weighing less than that the problems begin."

@reservoirdogs how u see kkk fairing at cruiserweight if he moves up

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

It doesn't matter, if u want me to fight your star, pay me
JusT like when they fight Floyd Or canelo, shyt KiRkland got 1.3 million, for a NON TITLE FIGHT and he hadn't fought in 2 years
TR needs to open their wallets if they tryna get their Star exposure

Rigo is moving up TWO divisions at that...pay the man

We stay saying if errybody ducking you then move up...the lil nikka moving up to 130 which from what I hear is above his walk around weight but he shouldn't get paid for that risk


I been said this before with GGG N the rest of em...Do Not tell me these guys are the greatest since sliced bread errybody is so scary of them N then offer peanuts to the nikkas that are up for the challenge


Like ESPN can't sell a undefeated Olympic medalist moving up 2 divisions to fight the great white hype


N I don't even like Rigo like that



Andrade made 75k his last fight in a main event his shyt ass team didn't even bid on the purse bid cuz "he must not be worth it"...has less fans then rigo (is that even possible) N fought on Tv less then rigo
(how is that possible :shedead:


He keeps calling out the "Charwos" lets imagine Big Charlo says aiight bet come up to 160...only 1 division higher...but you only made 75k your last fight, you're not a draw, no fans, don't fight on tv...200k take it or


Guarentee we'd hear Charlo ducking, Charlo greedy etc etc etc...

 

[reservoirdogs]

yeah thats my thing..if wbc doesn't mind him paying stiverne step aside money then he needs to fight whyte for 3 mill or he ducking.......

I would only give him a pass if wbc say they would definitely strip him. I mean ibf seems to be the only abc body really strict bout shyt like that.

and u right wilder aint say shyt bout him being stripped if he fights whyte.

WBC is the organization which has Eleider Alvarez as Stevenson's mandatory for damn near 2 years and they still didn't fought
I mean props for them for the VADA program that's truly a nice thing but other than that they are corrupt POS

You are aware that James Kirkland is with Golden Boy and would've NEVER accepted $120k to face Canelo


Rigo was with Roc Nation Sports and AGREED to take $120k to co-main event a PPV defending his belt vs an undefeated opponent.....from his own promoter


That = game over :forreal:

 

[RoidJonesJr]

Kovalev is actually serious about going with Hunter?

Sergey Durant, if you can't beat them join them

Andrade was paid 75k by his opponents promoter, in a lost purse bid, off TV fight..............not being paid 120k by his own promoters as the co-main event of PPV defending his belt vs an undefeated opponent.



You cant even put those 2 together, they're not even CLOSE to being similar.

@reservoirdogs how u see kkk fairing at cruiserweight if he moves up

depends on if he's finished mentally or not. If not then I see him winning a title but don't see him dominate as much as he did in lhw before Ward.
if he's mentally done he will be a decent contender but probably not a champion.
Depends on how he can get over that his Kursher persona has gone at least for now and that another man was proven better than him. He seems very proud like over the top proud and stubborn idk how he will process what just happened to him. If he can find his peace and start to work on his mistakes he can have successful years as a cruiserweight too because the power and the skills are definitely there.

 

[David_TheMan]

Krusher said he want Virgil to be his trainer. LOL

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Rigo shouldn't accept nothing less than what he got for the Donaire fight if he's gonna face Loma.

I'm not gonna penalize him for taking low money to get some work in on a ppv card. We want boxers to stay active.

A fight of that magnitude deserves both guys getting broke of with some decent bread.

 

[Creflo ½ Dollar]

Does Rigo have a fanbase? yes or no?


Does he sell tickets? yes or no?


Does he draw on TV? yes or no?


^^^^ If you cant answer yes to all 3 of them questions, then you understand exactly why he JUST got paid only $120,000 by his OWN promoter to co-main event a PPV defending his Championship vs an undefeated opponent, while his stable mate received $6.5 million............and what do you mean I want him fed peanuts, he agreed to that 120k payout.

I guess he didn't have too much of a choice. Obviously that was what the was offering him so he took it im guessing hoping to put on a show but fukkery happened.

You would be shytting on him for not taking the 120k and losing the exposure on PPV. I guess Rigo is damned if he do damned if he don't. Like I said you sounding like CAC media breh. He gets shytted on all day in the media and you expect casuals to tune into a Rigo fight. It's kind of unfair to the man to be thrown under the bus by Arum and HBO.

Yea Rigo holds some fault but a once in a lifetime talent shouldn't be getting blackballed because he wants a decent paycheck.

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Andrade was paid 75k by his opponents promoter, in a lost purse bid, off TV fight..............not being paid 120k by his own promoters as the co-main event of PPV defending his belt vs an undefeated opponent.

Ok breh

You keep saying if Rigo was worth it his promoter would have paid him more correct??

If Andrade was worth it his promoter would have made a better bid to get his ass on Tv for a title fight

So when Andrade gets offered 200k to fight Lara or lil Charlo... stay consistent with your current Loma Rigo stance...i don't wanna hear no Lara ducking

Cuz Andrade only made 75k his last fight N his promoter N team was cool with that like Rigo was cool with 120k...Andrade like Rigo has no fans, No draw.

Rigo got him tho with better resume, 2 gold medals, N fought on Tv more often tho

That's a lil unrealistic

Rigo 750k
Donaire 1 milly

Donaire was a bigger draw then Loma... times were different purses were higher


But > 400k to move up 2 divisions... cmon lets use some damn sense...no other boxer would be cool with that

Like I said I don't even fukk with Rigo but what's right is right ... ESPN N Bob could sell the fight it's easy to sell the fight N Rigo got enough kos for a highlight feel for the lead up

You get paid off of your draw/attraction. Rigo doesnt draw or attract.
