That's how it works- if you give up something, like weight (Walters is massive at 126), it tends to reflect in the split. That's negotiations. Now, Loma has had a 130 fight, which would reduce that advantage, but is also now a titleholder coming off a big KO win, so the net split probably won't be much different if an offer was made tomorrow. Ultimately, neither one actually needs this fight, but both would want it if more money was on the table. I hope somebody puts up some more $$$ for it to make it happen. The quickest way for that to happen is for each to take people apart like what Loma just did. Now, optimally, we'd see Walters respond. I'm still a Walters fan, and Nick's got to get back on the ball. Get some momentum going for him again. I think he got jobbed against Sosa, but he didn't look great, and he hasn't fought yet this year with nothing in the works. While Loma's targeting Siri, he's got to turn things around to make that fight the focal point and get some more dollars behind it.
Because you always take the side of the black guy in these debates, plain and simple. Whilst trying to "out" other people about how they're racially biased. I don't believe the guys you claim to like, you actually do, at all. Maybe stylistically you don't mind watching them but if Loma fought Walters you'd root for Walters and you know it. And earlier on you just accused me of hating on Ward but now you don't know; "I might be". Okay then man. You just see how stupid it looks on self reflection.
Let's argue FACTS though. From what I've said how am I being biased? Break down what I've said and argue against that. This isn't true at all, I've accused Quillin of straight up DUCKING korobov, GGG, Danny Jacbos of ducking GGG. So who are all these guys that I claim to like? When Ward fights Kovalev, I'm cheering for Ward. If Ward fought GGG, I'd cheer for Ward. If Wilder fights Povetkin or Fury, I'd cheer for Wilder though I think fury schools him. Why would I admit to all this and then lie and pretend that I'd cheer for Loma. I'm completely transparent and honest besides british trolling and my hate for Kovalev. You might be hating on Ward like I hate on GGG because you're a bigger fan of GGG, and hate Ward fans. You might be just trolling. I dont know if you're a Ward fan, or not. You probably think I hate GGG, and I'm not a fan, but I actually do enjoy watching his fights, and I will route for him against most guys not named Ward or Zurdo.
Café, I haven't ever read your posts, however, I have to agree with the post above, ellerbe goes around accusing white dudes of racism all the time and the guy seems very racist towards white dudes himself,,, and I am out of African for crying out loud, jesus ellerbe, just admit you are a bit racially biased, EVENTHOUGH you are partially WHITE,(which is what you always use as your last get out of jail free card) and stop denying where your hate is by majority pointed towards :hat put it this way dude, you are not helping our people ellerbe, you are creating confusion and hurting dude :nono
ok, calm down ellerbe, don't get all defensive just because we are getting too close to home about how you go around claiming FAR too many are KKK members on this site not having a clue what your talking about :nono
And if Loma fought Walters, you'd root for Walters as well just the same. The only reason you wouldn't admit that is because we're arguing about this at the moment. And sure, take Crawford, I wouldn't mind him winning against anyone not named Postol either, Ward either, as long as it's not GGG or Kovalev he can win against other guys for all I care. Bottomline is, I am biased, and you are biased, in fact most of this forum is biased and it's not hard to see who's biased for who. The difference is that I don't try to proclaim myself to be otherwise
I actually dont think cafe is racist. If I'm being perfectly honest, I think he's fed up with the GGG hatred since GGG is one of his favorite boxers, so he's starting to become one of those pro-white trolls that will disregard logic and won't answer simple questions like "when is the last time you've seen someone get lowballed and then offered a side bet to compensate for that amount". I'm here to debate logically, if someone gives me a good argument like showing me examples of some semi-high profile fights where a boxer took 2x less purse because he was offered a side bet which might cover it, when they are around the same draw, and the one taking 2x less purse has the bigger names on his resume, my mind might be changed. So how about you? Do you think that loma's offer was reasonable?
Walter fiasco? Is that supposed to make Lomachenko look bad? Loma I'd a straight up ATG tht blesses fight fans with his performances. I like Walters but the fight did not get made only because of him.
Dude, go look at all of my past posts. I've said it FOR AGES, that Loma would school walters, and loma is the best at 126-135. I didn't just start saying this now, i've said this for years. I mean you're just completely speculating, this argument is really silly to be honest. This is like if I said that you'd be cheering for ricky burns over Crawford because he's white, I don't assume this. It might be true but it would be ridiculous of me to just blurt that out like a fact. I'm biased when it comes to picking a winner, sure, everyone is. But when it comes down to a contractual issue or whatever outside the ring, I can be objective. So instead of going on and on about how we're boht biased towards a certain race, why don't we debate in facts? I've already presented my case, I'm waiting for you to respond.
Black guys from us being racist? Say it isn't so! You ****ing clowns, just admit it. I will say loud and proud that if a guy speaks russian and isn't my personal friend, I will root for him against anybody. If the guy is black but speaks russian, he is my boy and I will be impartial if he fights another EE. For me, it's all about mindset and upbringing, not the skin color, but I am not trying to hide it. But you black racist ****s try to pretend you're not racist when the reality is continually proving otherwise. Just admit what you are, it's not an issue. You can't be forced to be politically correct, you have a right to be racist. Just stop accusing everyone else of it.
Dude, I'm half Japanese . I'm a 1/4 fking black. People just assume I'm some racist black guy because I say things how it is. I always have logical arguments to back myself up, unless it's uk trolling or Kovalev trolling.
do I think loma's offer was reasonable? no I don't, I see your point on this as reasonable,,,, however, I see your point on this designed to deny having to reply on the subject of how you are one of the worst dudes on here when it comes to calling out members that are racist, you make claims on this subject with your head up your ass constantly, all knee jerk reactions, YES you occasionally are bang on, BUT that doesn't change the fact that you are very often talking out your ass and that is just uncool ellerbe,,,, its the last thing this forum needs :rasta now cut it out ellerbe and I will stop calling you out on it :good
Glad you agree. See we're here to debate logically. Loma's offer was absolutely ridiculous, and the 300k side bet was a bigger joke.
You started the BS race thing, not me though. What's there to debate? I think 800/500 offer was reasonable, you don't. What's more to talk about? Is Walters plain ducking? I wouldn't say so, but he himself stated that it'd be very difficult to win against Lomachenko (because of outside factors to be fair to him) and anticipating a risk of probable loss, I think he wants a bigger flat fee and it's not 650k either.
I told you to stop using your personal racial make up as a excuse that its not possible you are racist,,,, it happens dude, just be honest about it and stop hating on others that point it out :nono
