Regardless of how pleasing his style is to casual boxing fans if the Cuban diaspora in Florida filled an arena with 10,000 fans the way the Polish do for Adamek in New Jersey guys like Lara and Rigo wouldn't have this problem. Rigo, his manager and Cuban fans need to be chastising themselves not a business like HBO for pointing out that he isn't profitable. Make it profitable and the support will follow.
According to the 2010 census there are 1.21 Million Cubans in Florida. In contrast the top five US cities with the largest Polish populations have roughly half the amount with 600,000. The largest New York only has 213,447.
