    Yeah I mean he still makes pretty good money atleast 250K a year so it can't be all bad for only fighting once a year.

    Well damn he's doing even much better than I thought. Not a bad way to make a living if he's smart with his money.

    I just fact checked myself. He got a part of the gate too and apparently took home 1.4 million as a result. He can retire comfortably after getting that kind of purse a few more times.

    The reason he got paid is that he headlined his own event instead of getting shafted on the Stevenson undercard.

    Lol you’re so transparent,Russel is a G for handling the size disparity but you just couldn’t give it Lomo against Linares could you?

    So he will fight 5 years then?

    I think 2 times a year is fine. Once is laziness?

    I agree Russell Jr is his best win. With that said he needs to fight more than once a year for him to get that P4P consideration. He did handle a much bigger guy who was very game. Jo Jo Diaz has a bright future at 126.

    Just another example of what I was talking about. You make **** up, just because I refuse to throat Loma like you and a few other ball gobblers. I gave Loma full credit, and also picked him to win the fight. But I guess I'm anti Loma for pointing out that somebody lied and said Linares was 16 pounds heavier. I didn't see that visually. You could see visually that Diaz had more than a few pounds on Russell jr. Not only was he taller, he was thicker, wider, and bulkier.
