I am happy for both fighters because they really do need this type of fight - of course Donaire can go off in another direction but it's time to start making some classic matchups for the memory book. Maybe not allll action but still very tense, and it still will be very noteworthy when looking back.
Rigo his chance to continue making history of his own with his sparse record and almost immediately fighting a P4P'er, i know he's older but still some crazy stuff.
Credit to everyone who made it happen...when fighters of this caliber finally get it on, a whole series of other fights in the division open up, rivalries start up, maybe rematches and some classic fights that have these divisions have blessed up with over the years. politics aside, when TR finally pulls the trigger on some of their best fights, they really are evenly matched and anything can happen.

So you are correct, if he lost to Donaire, he didnt get exposed. If Donaire lost to Rigo, then Donaire is the one that got exposed

but but the Cult of Rigo told me Rigo was going to fight for peanuts and that he wasn't overpricing himself! (Looking at you 1PunchKOPOW!) Donaire was right. Rigo was asking for too much money. My god, just imagine what he must have been asking for initially to get him down to $750k. No wonder it took so long for this to get made. Mathebula, Vasquez, and Nishioka only got paid $100k by HBO so those were easy fights to make.Last edited by DoktorSleepless; 01-30-2013, 04:52 AM.

Why fight for 100k, when you can make three-quarters of a mil? Rigo doesn't have the luxury of accumulating purses over a long career. He won't be in the game long. He has to get paid now, not later.Last edited by DoktorSleepless; 01-30-2013, 02:10 AM.
