The hate for Rigondeaux is laughable

He did come in over though Donaire is known to rehydrate a lot, I actually do believe he doesn't rehydrate crazy amounts anymore for the record.
I just don't think its fair that fighters aren't discredited and such by the same standards.
I mean people still bring up the Cordoba fight and all this. They say Rigo is boring when Donaire himself has been in a fair few snoozers.
If Conception (regardless of the weight) gave Rigondeaux a tough fight like I am sure you could admit he would get loads of hate for it! NSB would be going crazy over it.
I think a lot is double standards myself & I really do feel a lot of stuff Rigondeaux gets accused of, Donaire has been guilt of himself but people refuse to acknowledge it.

Not sure about "hate" but i felt annoyed that he tried to play a bigshot when he's not yet a bigshot.
750k is more than what he deserves and he should snapsign that contract.
I'll root for him because i'm sick of Bob Arum and the way he designs his fighters careers.

Whilst 750k initially sounds a lot Caribe will take a cut, his trainer, cutsman, etc etc
He maybe lucky to see 400k
Not that much when guys like Bradley are getting well over a million for facing 90yr old Cassamayors.
