    Hahaha

    Funny pic and funny post.

    But, has Roc Nation contacted Top Rank to make this fight happen ? Whats Rigo manager saying ? That they're doing nothing and they're waiting for Arum to throw them a bone. Arum is the last man in the univers that'll give Rigo a phat check. Rigo should know this

    What really killed the fight was the rehydration Rigo wanted 132 or 134 max Loma's team did not agreed. Personally I think the ship sailed Loma is a 140 lbs fighter fought as a light weigh 5 years ago If I was Rigo I would not fight him at 130 but money talks let see.

    Rigo fans are so idiotic. They sullen his best win by claiming the guy was one dimensional and bite hook, line and sinker for the oldest ducking tactic in the book: Pricing ones self out! These mental defectives would buy sand if they lived in a desert.

    tldr: Protection from what? He's already got a loss and isn't a cash cow with a ton of casual nuthuggers funding the pot. His matchmaking doesn't jive at all with someone who's protected.

    1) I agree that Rigo got punished for upsetting one of Bob's meal tickets. It didn't help that his one chance after that was King Kong Agbeko, and that was a dreadful fight.

    2) Dude fought Gary friggin' Russell coming off a loss in his third pro fight. His second was facing Siri in Texas. He probably ended Walters' career, and did it without trying to play weight games. He was willing to give Walters the choice of weight even before he moved up to 130 himself. That's the polar opposite of protected.

    3) He's a prestige piece to the stable, but not a money generator. He generates solid ratings for a small HBO fighter, but nothing earth shattering to think he'll be able to make the transition to PPV. He's certainly not as popular here as Donaire was. Bob can afford to let Loma take risks because it's not that big a deal to him businesswise.

    Lol! We know what Rigo 'fans' are for the most part. The vast majority had to google Rigo when this Vasyl twitter beef started a couple years ago. And Lomachenko makes THEM (And Rigoturd for that matter) very uncomfy and nervous :D So they go out of their way to jump on ANY little hopefuls bandwagon that has the slightest prayer (in their minds) in beating him.

    Same with Usyk. Same with Fury. Same with GGG. And it will be the same with Gvozdyk, Bivol, Beterbiev, Teslenko, Gassiev... the list goes on ;) And I hope the bitter butt hurt never ends as those fighters rack up more and more wins. because I enjoy it. :biggrin:

    Rigo would want the fight in Vegas, where Roc Nation will own the referee, judges and boxing commission. He would want $10,000,000 and want Lomachenko to get zero...............I think he wants Lomachenko to come in at 118 lbs, wear 24 oz. gloves................

    Rigodeaux vs Magdaleno. Prefer that over a fight that has sailed a long time ago.

    I'm really not sure if that killed the fight. Loma has come into the ring weighing 129 and 132 before, I think he should've made that concession also for a fight at 126 with Rigo. That's besides the point either way because Rigo actually accepted the rehydration clause and when he bounced out, he cited the weigh-in weight as the reason. He needed 124lbs. That was when team Loma knew they shouldn't waste time on this fool again.
    Loma was small 5 years ago and that was at 132lbs, not 135lbs.
    Either way, it does appear this ship has sailed.
