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.

He not getting 750k bro


If I was bob I offer that nikka 300k and the fight is at 130. Take it or eat a dikk

 

[#SOG_soldier]

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

No other boxer worth mentioning is a desperate as rigbum



He finally got a nikka willing to fight him but he scared to see loma at 130, he know his lil ass ain't built for that weight. That's the real reason he want a bash, that nikka tryna cash himself out

I feel where you coming from, but 750k ain't even all that much when you look at the magnitude of that fight. Donaire was definitely a bigger draw than Loma, but Loma still buzzing hard.

It's truly on some once in a lifetime shyt. It's just that these nikkas don't wanna promote or put the fight in a location that will sell tickets.

Hell, if Rigo can't get 750k, then 550k to 650k should be cool.

nikkas can't tell me BJ Saunders would jump up to light heavyweight to face Stevenson for 400k.

Billy Joe saunders is not in a division full of nobodies and nikkas not ducking him. Rigbum is never gonna get a better opportunity than 350k.

"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

Virgil was right KKKovalev would respect them because they beat him. It would be a good pairing.
Kovalev needs a camp that he respects and he respects Virgil and Ward more than anything.

Getting your ass whooped by SOG is a humbling life changing experience.

All praise to S.O.G

The one true P4P king.

Because Lara is under Haymon add that to the fact that he fought Canelo and arguably won(if he would've stopped all that running) . Shoutout to Canelo becaue he actually has balls and trying to build a legacy. Ain't too many fighters like Nelo.

Rigo running up on LSC, Mares , Frampton, won't affect anything. They are good but they ain't built like somebody like Canelo. Who has alot of pride and care about legacy.

The fact that Loma dismissed Rigo by saying he was boring is all you need to know about that fight. Loma dnt want smoke

Nope loma don't want to waste his time. Rigbum is the very definition of no reward, high risk fight. Y'all need to learn how boxing business work

late

Ummm.....ok

 

[Axum Ezana]

tryna comeback from that mobster kurtsidze beating

It's about time...now we need imam to fulfil his destiny and get back in the ring

 

[mr. smoke weed]

stop it. His ass should be lucky to be getting that 380k whatever esp if he made 120 for his last and that was a ppv. HTF and WhoTF he think he is. Rigo dont realize if he thinks he's so good, he'd take the most money he's made and he'd take the chance to get the exposure and big win this offers. It's silly really. Rigo may be on the p4p list but he aint really anybody as far as the money goes. NO EXCUSES...take the fight since he swears he'll win.

Yea fukk if he should fight for free right? Some of y'all are ridiculous

kovalev going to CW...im sure he will pick up a title there within a couple years if thats the case

I don't see it.
He has a poor jaw, and moving up in weight I doubt his power will carry the pop it did.
I don't see an Adamek run for him, if he had a strong chin, I could see it but I don't and he isn't much of a mover like Adamek could do when he moved up to cruiser.

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

Honestly I think he can do it. As much as I dislike dude his only losses were to THE best fighter in the world and even then the first one was debatable so he has exceptional skill that troubles anyone at cruiserweight imo.It will be interesting how his conditioning will be but I think he still carries up his power and speed. This is a guy who Knocked down caparello with a straight right to the body, KO'ed Agnew with a JAB to the body............ a bloody jab, destroyed Cleverly . If Vlasov (I think fought at supermiddle though he has a large frame) and Bellew can carry their power I think its safe to say kkkov can. That said all this won't matter if he ain't mentally there but he can be a problem at cruiser

if enzo maccarinelli can pick up a title there so can kovalev lol

if enzo maccarinelli can pick up a title there so can kovalev lol

Enzo was always a crusierweight though, bit different than Kovalev jumping up to cruiser

This is news (don't as me how) to me last time they were in talks about this fights nikkas numbers were comparable. Either way we're talking about a nikka who has the hbo push vs a nikka who is damn near blackballed from that same company.

I know Rigo's plight and hopefully he gets out of it, but at the same time breh & imo, he's using fighting Loma as a cash grab.



Why isn't he calling out any 126lbers? Gary Russell Jr needs a fight, has a belt, and that's a winnable fight for Rigo. LSC brings more money to the table than all of em...why not stalk Baby Tornado's twitter page for a fight?
