Ok so I'm hearing that Rigo-Loma was signed and made official a couple hrs ago but I'm not as excited as I was about the initial negotiations. Mainly because for whatever reason Arum has something against my guy Rigo and he basically ****ted on him at the negotiation table.

Rigo is easily a 118lb fighter, easily. Loma rehydrates to nearly 140 on fight night. Rigo campaigns at 122, Loma at 26. When the initial offer was extended, the weight was 124lbs with a 132 rehydration. Arum managed to stack the deck against Rigo by discarding the 124 request and leaving it at 126 then making the rehydration 134lbs.

But Rigo still put the ink on the dotted line so no excuses.

Now more good news is that this fight will likely be the co-main as Tim Bradley vs Kell Brook will likely headline the Top Rank card set to take place in Abu Dhabi. If Brook falls thru then Sadam Ali is plan B.
