Should Rigondeaux leave for Golden Boy once Contract is up?

Bob Arum's attitude towards Rigondeaux's win/performance is the most disgusting behavior I have ever seen a promoter have towards a fighter of his who just won a fight. The answer is absolutely yes. I agree with you 100% man. Both GBP and TR should at least try to promote their Cuban fighters in Miami. They act like they can't sell tickets out there. Lara gets no love from GBP either

true....i could see them promising rigo a fight with the mares vs deleon winner only to have him fight never ending title eliminators... It's a shame that Erislandy Lara is in that position right now

I don't think it's about not selling tickets. Somewhat it is

He just made 750k, with 11 fights. I doubt GBP main man Mares ever made that much, and he's supposed to be a star.

Yeah since he has a promoter who does not appreciate him. I wonder if Oscar and Schafer will be better though? true....i could see them promising rigo a fight with the mares vs deleon winner only to have him fight never ending title eliminators...

Yes he should. Arum sucks the living crap out of his fighters like a vampire. Golden Boy is the future. And it will benefit Rigondeaux alot since he will be fighting with a promoter who is big in the Mexican community.

if he has plans on moving up to 126 then yes because he can get a fight with the mares vs deleon winner..

No. He got the fight he wanted. I don't see any reason why he should. I think Rigo is content with where he is right now.

Not yet. Give Arum a chance to do his thing first. He's done well so far. GBP hasn't done anything with Erislandy Lara yet. He hasn't even been mentioned as an opponent for Canelo despite being his mandatory. Grass isn't always greener on the other side. Also i dont know how seriously gbp takes their lower weight classes

In fairness to Arum he maneuvered him into position to fight Donaire pretty well after only 11 fights, he got him a title in under 10 fights, and he got a very respectable purse for the Donaire fight which he didnt really deserve on the basis of how much of a draw he is. I'd wait till his next few fights before saying he should leave. Arum needs all the talent he can get and that could force him to make sure Rigo gets good fights? You never know. Having said that i would love to Rigo vs Mares so as a boxing fan i would be happy if he left for GB... Good stuff.

hope he does the 2 fights this year and in 2014 jump to GBP and destroy all that they got...

He should leave but it wont be easy because hes still not a big enough draw. Is he worth enough to GBP to get him out of his contract? I say no. Plus Arum should be coming with a contract extenstion. And if Rigo doesnt sign Arum will put him on the shelf for months maybe even years. Weve seen him do it to Bradley, Gamboa, and others. And Rigos no spring chicken anymore.

Rigo has 2 fights left on his current top rank contract, i am sure they only signed him for 3 fights thinking that Donaire was goign to destroy him and he would be useless after that. With that in mind should he leave for golden boy after that? Any big fights would be at 126 and it looks like he is too small for that weigh class. My guess is he could fight Darchinian and the winner of Terrazas/Mijares for the WBC. Then at golden boy he could fight with mares and santa cruz. What do you guys think? Short answer YES!. It's clear they don't give a crap about him. Bob can promote him, I think he's just choosing not to. He'll make a crap load of money if he held a fight down in Miami so I don't think it's about not selling tickets.

He should imo, bob wont do him any favours and rigo wont be here forever. But bob did give rigo what he wanted and that was a showdown with donaire so he might stay loyal and get sucked in by arums bull
