    Loma should get more. People want to see him fight, they don't want to see Rigo fight.

    Arum's word ain't ****. Why even pay what he says any mind? He is a known liar.

    Rigs should decline, simply for the fact that both Arum and HBO can't wait to screw him for messing up one of their money trains. Rigs would need to win by KO, he won't get a decision. If I was him, I'd be like **** Arum and HBO. They already tried to screw him on the score cards when he fought Donaire. Donaire won one round that fight. It wasn't a hard fight to score. Yet we got the scorecards we got for that fight. Outside of being the much smaller guy, who would have to move up in weight.

    Rigo won't fight for peanuts. He's too great of a fighter with too much pride to just take anything. He'll just say f*** it and walk away and possibly retire. Nobody in HIS weight division and I mean NOBODY in his weight division will fight him. Everybody in HIS division are frankly scared of him. That old adage is true: A good big man will beat a good little man every time. Rigo is giving up so much size and weight that it's almost not fair. Hell, it's NOT fair. So at the very least, PAY THE MAN!!

    I think it should be 50/50. To of the top p4p fighters right now.Loma has more of a fan base but Rigo is giving up a lil bit of size. 50/50 is fair

    95/5 Loma is fair. Maybe 90/10.

    There isn't any money in fighting Rigo because:

    He is banned from tv
    he can't sell tickets
    he has no fan base
    he has a boring style

    The ONLY way for Rigo to get on tv (where the money is in Boxing) is to fight a Loma or someone on that level. Rigo by himself isn't getting on tv so a random name in his division isn't going to make any money as an opponent it has nothing to do with people being scared of him. It is a money thing.

    If it were a fight within HIS OWN DIVISION, I would agree with you. But he's giving up too much size and weight. When every boxer states that Rigo is the best boxer alive, his talent is beyond dispute. So don't disrespect the man like he's some journeyman. If you want to see the BEST FIGHT THE BEST, then he needs to be fairly compensated. Otherwise f*** the fight.

    50/50 split is fair here.
