Salido is pricing himself out of the Lomachenko rematch. Demanding money that is just not there because he knows this time around he will not be allowed to cheat. No coming in several pounds over with his personal ref that will ignore his dirty tactics. What a dirty piece of garbage. He gets praise from dummies while disrespecting the sport. I hope he never gets another pay day again if he divas his way out of this rematch. Hopefully TR turns him into low paid B side cannon fodder. Couple this alarming trend with Ward now diva demanding away the Kovalev fight and Golovkin being avoided like the plague and it is no wonder our sport is floundering. The only clade of fighters adding anything new and exciting to this sport are being avoided across the board. Disgusting really yet others occupying a certain pervasive niche that is killing the sport seem to have no issue with the vile and alarming direction boxing is going.
To be fair, he is remarkable fighter. Not anywhere near Loma's level and he did cheat in every way imaginable, but the man fought the who's who of the p4p list near pr at his weight class.
Salido "WON" the first fight and has done more and deserves more. He was the "WINNER" Kevin. Top Rank has a habit of trying to short change the winner of fights, such as the case with a Pacquiao vs Marquez 5 fight. Marquez wants a fair share of what he helped create and Manny owes him that because he has not had PPV success since that fight ( minus Mayweather of course). The same applies to Lomachenko vs Salido. If Haymon managed to get Tank Davis a fight next month for Lomachenkos belt people would flip out and say, "What has Davis done to deserve a shot?" Same was stated when Loma got a shot at Salido's title for absolutely nothing.:-(
Oh really was the fight ordered and Salido withdrew? Was Salido the champ and Loma his mandatory and he refused to fight? HOW ABOUT YOU LEARN WHAT CONSTITUTES A "DUCK" FIRST BEFORE POSTING THIS BS! Really posters like yourself should have to take a boxing aptitude test to see if you understand the basics before creating threads. Loma is seeking the rematch Salido isn't and he has the right to ask for whatever damn price he feels like it isn't like the fight is mandated. If Loma wants him so badly he will pay him. Loma did nothing to deserve the first fight anyway. Who are you to say he is pricing himself out? Have you been boxing at the top of the sport putting your health on the line? F*ck no your an armchair warrior calling a Vet like Salido a piece of garbage for trying to secure his financial future. We honestly need to sticky a boxing vocabulary and definition thread so posters understand basic boxing vocabulary. Edit: Another idiot for the block box.
This pedantic soliloquy was brought to you buy ESB's resident hallway monitor, patronizingly impersonating an educator. Remind us all again how it was GGG who actually ducked Froch you long winded egotist.
Salido is a bigger draw than Lomachenko and won their first fight. As far as I can tell from the numbers discussed as well, this is more a case of Klimas and Top Rank lowballing him than Salido overvaluing himself.
Lomachenko's manager is offering him chicken feed. Salido is Lomachenko's conquerer and has a much bigger fanbase. Salido isn't chasing anything, Lomachenko is. Give Salido 65% of the purse. Other Greats including the main money man, FMJ had to get in line, so Egis is deluded if he thinks Lomachenko should skip this step. Enjoy fighting bums I guess or plastic belt holders like Sosa. How that can make a boxer feel significant, and make them feel like they are 'world champion' is beyond me. That bubble needs to be burst, world champ is something you have to be the best of the best to achieve and prove it.
Salido and his partner in crime Lawrence Cole deserve a prison cell for their criminal actions. Salido is repulsive and has the temerity to demad gross overcompensation when he should be grateful Lomachenko even wants to fight his diry **** again. If that's not bad enough: You then go completely off the deep end compare Loma to that goof Tank Davis. :rofl
Sad truth, this is the paid ranks. That means you 'do whatever you can get away with'. That is the aim of the game and you have to embody that as a boxer, fundamentally.
Klimas has nothing to do with paying Loma's opponents you imbeciles. Loma is the draw not Salido, man you people are so predictable.
This is the poster who was offering his services as a tactical advisor for team Loma a few weeks back. I guess now you are also qualified to advise them on terms of finance. atsch
The words "Loma" and "draw" should only be in the same sentence if you are writing something along the lines of "Loma is not a draw." Salido-Vargas popped one of HBO's few bright spot ratings of the year, while Lomachenko's last main event was almost Rigondeaux-Agbeko bad.
The thing is, I know what I'm talking about. People looked at Lomachenko vs Jose Ramirez and thought it was an amazing performance. Having seen 50 of his fights prior, many times over and in slow motion, I realised how awful he was boxing compared to what he usually does. My words when I'm not joking around are important and I'm never wrong. The fact is, as a huge fan of Lomachenko, Salido is absolutely Loma's daddy and made him look like a lost boy and has a MUCH, MUCH larger fanbase, more fan friendly style and has that W and isn't even chasing a rematch. This fight is therapy for Lomachenko, Salido is busy partying away, he doesn't need Loma.
And that was against a known Puerto Rican long standing/consistent beltholder, on Puerto Rican day parade, their day. None of the arguments in favour of Egis Klimas (Loma's manager make any sense). And no one gives a **** that Loma 'has more talent', well it's time to actually prove yourself just like Money May had to, and be quiet and get on with it.
The most annoying part is that Loma would've given into wage demands just to prove himself, but Egis is being an idiot. Loma fans are not obliged to defend Egis.
