First he said he would fight lomachenko again, then he changed his mind stating he would fight loma "but his fans want a vargas rematch" Now that vargas lost his title, instead of fighting loma like he was going to in the first place, he's again talking about fighting other people I want the salido loma rematch , i want to see if lomachenko has learned to deal with that kind of rough veteran style. Im sure it would be salido's most lucrative option atm
I think it was a bit of both. Lomachenko's team categorically lowballed Salido, trying to get him to sign for around $150k whilst Loma undeservedly sits on $1m. Salido declined, it was Loma's team's fault that the fight wasn't agreed sooner as a result. Salido had declined, asking for $200k. THEN they had given Salido the paltry, chicken feed of $200k that Salido tried to re-negotiate for. Salido declined, wanting to go for a fan friendly fight and kinda ducking Loma. Salido should be given the lion share. Lomachenko needs to earn his stripes. Loma's team turned to Corrales, who apparently was initially excited by the prospect of the fight. In negotiations, Corrales said no because of the purse. CAN YOU IMAGINE how little the purse must've been for the unknown Corrales, if it was originally a mere $150k offer to Salido? Again, Loma acting like he is the 'papi of the 126 and 130 divisions' wouldn't sit so well with me given these awful offers (if indeed Corrales was offered the peanuts I suspect he was). If Lomachenko doesn't do anything about his team lowballing everyone sooner or later, it's going to start annoying me.
Living off the fact he's the only person to have beaten Loma is probably of more value than the purse he would get for losing a rematch....
Salido deserves a good payday for the rematch. Guy is a warrior and puts a helluva show each time. I wont lose any sleep if no 2 doesnt happen, and for sure I wont scream " duckk" in either direction
I think Loma and his team really need to pull out the breaks and pay the man so they can correct their wrong. This isnt the first person to say they aint offering enough money. Rigo, Walters, Salido theres a trend developing. I dont think its Loma's fault he will fight anyone but lets face it his team is moving like cheapskates.
Salido already spanked that ass once and now he wants to paid like he whipped him, but Arum only wants to pay him peanuts while Lomo takes home the cake. Lomo/Arum should act as if they want to avenge that lose and give Salido the pay he deserves, else they are just ducking Salido to avoid another ass whipping. They pulling a Golovkin/K2 move.
This is very simple. Just pay Loma's daddy a non-insulting purse and Bob and Loma will get their rematch. Orlando Salido - the papa of Lomachenko, Juanma, and Mikey Garcia - is not afraid of anyone.
They won't do that because they don't want the fight and get spanked again. So, they use the ole K2 low ball trick to get out of it. Salido don't care. He was in FOTY last year and will get other fights.
if i was loma i wouldnt do a rematch...a second fight against salido and loma wont be able to have children with the 50 lowblows salido will throw at him
