Educating Fools: Lomachenko Did Not Duck Rigondeaux!

It's all out there, all you have to do is go and check. I can't show you the very documentation which is what you appear to be asking. It's literally everywhere that Rigo after initially wanting 124, he ended up being fine with 126lbs and they were negotiating the fight with this in mind. There were so many videos and stuff on the net out during that time, it's tiresome.
It is also everywhere that Rigo has gone on record bouncing out of the agreements saying he's not down for fighting at 126 anymore and telling Loma to move down to 124 (knowing full well Loma categorically rejected such a thing), so the rehydration clause is actually a red herring.

The financials, however you like to moan about it, were agreed upon and it was therefore a serious deal.
Rigondeaux then ended up saying after agreeing with the finances:

'Reality is that your promoter does not want to pay what I valgo (want). When they are ready come with the money to give the fans the fight' - He thus shot himself in the foot and exposed himself right there.

(Rigo before btw wanted less than what was finally arranged).
The translation of the response (before Vasyl quoted the older post) was:
'You are a coward and a *****! Then you gave the answer!'
Rigo accepted the weight (126lbs, rehydration clause of 137lbs) http://www.*******.com/vasyl-lomachenko-rigondeaux-not-want-fight--95269
Rigo then went onto price himself out completely

"The poor guy. I'm one of the few guys who likes Rigondeaux, but he has these guys with him - the Caribe guys - who are not professionals in boxing, who have unbelievable expectations," Arum said.

"Like, they said 'we can get millions of dollars for the [Lomachenko] fight.' And I said 'from where?' And he says 'Cuba.' I said 'what are you f***ing crazy? There is still an embargo.'"

Well a lot of Loma fans have also acknowledged that Bob is lowballing opponents. The problem is, this is not a valid argument in this context as Arum bettered Rigo's offer by saying that instead of the winner getting $1m and the loser gets nothing which is what Rigo demanded, they will both get $500k and the winner will get an extra $500k.
Rigo at the end of all of this saga said no as the fight was apparently worth millions - what a joke. No one knew who these obscure fighters were then...many still dont know Loma now.
Lomachenko was ducked financially AND via weight.

 

That's what Rigo wanted! Who are you the keyboard casual (no offence srs) to say what's stupid when Rigo himself wanted it? $1m for the winner and a $500k base for two obscure unknown fighters is reasonable - even if it isn't, it was put on the table by Arum, and Rigo rejected what was a better deal than what he envisioned. Therefore Rigo was playing pathetic games.
To hear Rigo's end then say the fight was worth millions when we all know it absolutely isn't, this is an absolute joke and is as clear as night and day that Rigo's team are just throwing BS around. A clear duck.
so the point of the whole thread was...excuse Loma for not wanting to do business with Rigo because Rigo is a proven BS'er.

I do hope the fight gets made though, maybe if they had more time they could sort something out and if Rigo really does have balls, but I have no problem if Loma doesn't waste time on this Goblet.
