Does anyone disagree with this video LOMA vs RIGO

Rigo is underrated for sure, but he is skilled. His lack of appeal has to do with his style and the fact that he is not American.

 

Casual fans don't care about losses on the records that much. In fact, McGregor and MMA/UFC prove this. Everyone there has a bunch of losses, McGregor lost to complete cans before he ever entered the UFC and also lost to Nate Diaz who used to be viewed as nothing more than high level gatekeeper yet the casual fans buy the hype.

We should be happy that Lomachenko is destroying the "defend the 0 at all costs" mentality, it's a good thing for boxing. If you fight the best possible competition you will lose eventually.

 

There is no "racism" thing in boxing, it's vastly overplayed, the distinction in boxing is more about fighters who come from ethnic/national backgrounds with more established pro boxing communities that pay for the PPVs and bring the money into sports (Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Americans, British-to some extent, Filipinos) and the fighters who come from countries that don't have a huge boxing fanbase behind them, at least not in the United States.

Cuban fighters aren't popular because they don't have a fanbase that would bring money and watch them just because they're Cubans and their style in general isn't exciting to the casuals (not to mention that they don't know English). Eastern Europeans fighting in the USA are in the same situation as Cubans, it doesn't matter if they're white, they simply don't draw big numbers because your average American isn't interested in them. That's why GGG can't draw **** even though he's one of the most exciting fighters ever, same goes for Kovalev. Lomachenko is being promoted hard because he has the style and the talent to bring the people back to boxing but so far even he isn't a huge PPV draw and we can't be sure that he'll ever become one.

 

Agreed. The end of this year has been great in terms of the best fighting each other and hopefully the trend continues.

 

Yeah and none of them speak a lick of English yet call someone out immediately on twitter after a fight, Suspicious?

 

Yeah Lara is so interested in fighting GGG he:

- hasn't made any formal contact to fight him (according to Lara's own manager)
- hasn't moved to the division GGG fights in
- Stays with another promoter and another broadcaster rather than trying to get out of the deal
- Hasn't tried to capture one of the belts GGG is trying to win
- Hasn't attempted to become mandatory for one of the titles GGG currently owns

YOU are actually the problem buying that Lara wants to fight GGG because he says so on twitter. I want to see action, because if everyone was like me, Lara would've either fought GGG by now, or at least tried to do something or not mentioned it at all because he knows he can fool morons like you through a translator on twitter.

 

How can GGG accept a fight that hasn't been offered to him? Not GGG's word, not GGG's fanboys. LARA'S OWN MANAGER "we have never made any formal offer to them"

So outside of trolling through a translator on twitter, name one thing Lara has done to try and get the fight. You are the delusion fanboy who believes everything a boxer you like says on twitter but doesn't back up his trolling with actions lolz. Kell Brook wanted the fight, you know what he did- got his promoter to make formal contact. Lara's promoter has never contacted team GGG.
