    He turned down a fight with a career high payday (with an equal split when all is said and done) against a guy who was coming up in weight to his weightclass. What else is there to say?

    You really are a ****ing loser, what has a possible fight between two featherweight fighters got to do with Golovkin?

    People were very quick to judge Loma on his so called "duck" of Walters, quite hilarious how that turned around so quickly.

    Never bought into the Walters hype. He's massive for 126 but crude and his skill level isn't in the same stratosphere as Lomochenko.

    Lomo would do a number on him, wide UD OR mercy stoppage

    haha..of course it has nothing to do with golovkin right?!?!

    well it doesn't....just make sure u hold the bumdog millionaire to the same standard you do walters....

    500k for that fight isn't dog feces.....but its a great matchup isn't?!?! walters vs loma?!?!?!

    both solid....intriguing matchup! but walters is just protecting his money making potential down the road!

    sound familiar?!?!?!

    Oh god, a thread where GGG hasn't been mentioned...MY SHOCKMASTER SENSES ARE TINGLING

    They're not comparable situations. Two fighters in the same division where a contract has actually been offered.

    What was the split? I think he should have fought Loma if he loses big deal people expected him to he can still get good fights at 130. If he wins he becomes the man at 130 and elite.

    when u look at the situation...for that fight with loma...500k is peanuts ...after taxes and fees...hes looking at 100k maybe

    that being said....if that's all he can get for that kind of fight...I don't see him getting more anywhere else then......

    but if we give the bumdog a pass we might as well give walters one

    I rate Walters but I agree when it comes to the Loma fight, he'd be too much skill wise. Walters would either have to make it ugly (which isn't really his style) and try to do what Salido did or there's a puncher's chance but since Lomachenko hasn't displayed chin issues like, ever, I don't see it happening.

    How has he been surviving thus far on all of the terrible pay days he's been previously accepting?

    Was his ability to make 126 despite his size down to not being able to afford food?

    I didn't see what Loma was supposed to be getting but I agree. Similar to the Rigo situation as well when Frampton moved up instead of fighting Rigo as his mandatory. Losing to Loma or Rigo does absolutely no harm to your rep at all, there's so much to potentially gain too

    Well you didn't give bumdog a pass so go ahead with the Walters bashing. BTW he gets 850k if he wins, not 500k.

    This is perhaps the dumbest ****en post that I've ever read. I hope that you were being sarcastic.
