Lomachenko-Salido II Unlikely, Egis Klimas Being a Coward

Both looking to fight in November. Egis is running.

Salido's case for a bigger purse:
Back-to-back 'Fight of the Year' fights
Clearly is the bigger $$ maker based on sales
Had an even fight with a very good fighter in Francisco Vargas.
Salido OFFICIALLY BEAT Lomachenko


Klimas's puerile response paraphrased (my response in italic)-

Lomachenko is so sure he'll win, let's cut a deal.

Well Klimas, no matter what, Lomachenko has a big fat official L against Salido and he's yet to prove he can convincingly beat a big stylistic threat like Salido in the pros - the other belt holders are EASY WORK.

Appeal to plastic cereal box belts:

Both are lame, the real champ of the division is Jezreel Corrales, neither of these plastic toy belt holders. Salido having a WBC title or not doesn't change the fact that he's the bigger draw than the unknown Lomachenko

Fair enough, but you're not selling us a Jason Sosa fight. Lomachenko has TBE qualities, we want great opposition.


..scene it.

Back in the day:
Vasyl Lomachenko @vasyllomachenko

Exactly, Salido doesn't need Lomachenko (who can't sell out even small crowds yet...understandably).

Hiding behind the plastic toy belt collection argument is truly pathetic. I thought Lomachenko stopped caring about it if it prevents him from getting the biggest fights..

 

He's coming off a draw against a top fighter in Vargas...more people had him winning the fight than losing, I had it 7-5 Salido.

 

..I'nm not saying that, but they're lowballing Salido...and for what reason exactly? Lomachenko certainly doesn't deserve even a quarter of Lomachenko's purse if we're talking real here.

Exactly. Lomachenko is quite simply a paycheck and nothing more to Salido, give the man what he wants, his legacy is not going to be tainted by a loss.

Who cares? We all know Loma would beat Salido in the rematch - all the more reason to give Salido a little more. Salido got the official decision and quite frankly deserved it (he took advantage of the ref's incompetence successfully..and Lomachenko himself offered no resistance in the meantime)
....'Skin of his teeth'? That isn't because Lomachenko 'adapted', it's because Salido gassed out, allowing Loma to come back into the fight.
