Santa Cruz asking for 3 millions to fight Rigondeaux?

Another fun fact on a similar theme. Naoya Inoue has been a 2 weight world champion in 3 world title fights and has headlined in 2 of them (the one he didn't was headlined by a super fight between Yaegashi and Gonzalez)

 

:good

 

1M to fight Rigo.

 

Caribe Promotions out of Miami. Rigo could sign with Roc Nation, but for now he only has a small promoter.

This is a joke, but not totally laughable considering Guerrero is getting $2.5M to fight Thurman. However, Guerrero has at least headlined main events in the past.

If the fight gets made, it definitely wouldn't be at this price. Considering Rigo's pay, it's impossible to figure that there's $4-5M to be made in a fight at this weight.

 

MAB vs. Morales II netted $2 million apiece, which as of then was considered exorbitant for 126lbers. It was among the biggest featherweight clashes in history and was a continuation of their already buzz-worthy rivalry started at super bantam.

Santa Cruz isn't a tenth as popular - or good - as either of them, and this wouldn't have the aanticipation MAB vs. Morales I had, let alone the rematch.

 

Nas got $6.5m for Barrera at 126

 

As far as I'm aware Kyoei have a 1 fight option on him with the hopes to take him back over to Japan for Wake. Caribe are his promoters however and Nowhere2Hyde are his management team I think

 

uh...such hate.

 

Yeah but that was Naz.

LSC will never in his life command paydays like that.

 

Well, to fight Rigo you are going to have a pretty expensive hospital bill for starters. Maybe might need life insurance too. Seriously, grow some wevos man.

 

Poor man looks like he needs some damage control team and teach him how to handle the media, just making a fool of himself with the double talk be a man get out under your father shadow.

 

That's fair.

 

This guy's a piece of work. I was excited about him when he first came out, but now I am really starting not to care. Just say you want to fight Mares, and let it be. Stop saying you'll fight Rigondeaux, when you know you won't.

 

Leo don't want it

 

LSC losing all cred in the boxing world for this. Godamn boxers CHOOSE this career, it's not forced on them! It's like asking a seasoned fire fighter to go fight a big fire, but instead he says, "nah man, that fire is too dangerous, I think I'll stay home tonight". DO YOUR JOB! SMH.
