Donaire said he'd rather fight a heavier more powerful Gamboa. LSC said pay me an amount of money that I'm certain noone will put up.
You aren't still excusing this, are you? Donaire was avoiding the fight all he could till pressure made him take it. Leo Santa Cruz has asked for more money than I think I've ever heard of a 122lber get for a fight ever.

The question was, which comments were worse. Donaire rather wanting to fighta heavier and more powerful Gamboa or LSC asking for astronomical money.
 
Well, Leo has just totally priced himself out. Donaire was just trying to appease people by suggesting fights with lesser opponents like Gamboa and Mares.
Leo's comments are worse to me since he point blank is refusing to fight Rigo unless someone pays his astronomical fees. Donaire wanting to fight a heavier more powerful opponent like Gamboa and Mares shows he's not afraid to fight like he did with Walters.

I'd say Leo is worse too. Donaire was a total bitchman post fight though.
 
What makes me really mad about LSC is he says bullshit like he wants the best, yet I haven't seen/heard him talking about pressuring his management. Every other fight I keep hearing the same shit, but we get the same class of opponents. That is what makes me most mad. He just smiles and acts like he wants to fight the best, but then he pulls out this kind of shit. Is he fucking serious!?

Let's just get one thing straight. Robert Guerrero got ~3 million for fighting Mayweather on a PPV headliner. LSC seriously wants that much to fight Rigondeaux?
 
There's a very slim possibility that LSC might have said that in jest or as a negotiation ploy but it's going to take an act of god from him to get out of this one.


Safe to say he didn't make any fans with that bullshit.
 
Why are we still paying attention to what this guy says? He named his son after Al Haymon for fucks sake.

If you watch Saturdays post fight interview, Jim asks him something along the lines of "are you really going to ask your management for tough fights?" Leo sort of mumbled "yeah (can't understand half the shit he says)" in response then instantly started thanking Al Haymon. Cubatards need to get it through there thick little skulls that Leo will only fight Rigo with Haymon's blessing, money or being scared is not the issue.

Donaire main excuse was that Rigo wasn't at his level, lack of pro experience. Those excuses don't apply now so LSC just made official his epic ducking. When u see Mexicans calling him coward it means this kid is in serious trouble.
