Any chance Rigo goes to Showtime?

i think it's very possible. they'll need the money to be right. HBO flat out refusing rigondeaux, to the point where they are smearing him in the media, will drop the price. showtime has leverage now. he can't fight on HBO. if he wants big money fighting in the US he needs showtime. he'll have to accept less money. expect rigondeaux to be on the shelf for a long time between fights, and i'd expect him to be on showtime next, fighting somebody on the fringe for much less than he got in his last fight. rigondeaux may also retire. he may look to go overseas. i have no idea what his contract situation looks like right now but if he's tied up with arum and arum is shelfing him arum is breaching contract. don king used to do that all the time, and he's been sued more times than i can count for it. they usually have an agreement to fight a certain amount of times. arum needs to get him fights. if he doesn't he'll have to have his lawyers to come up with an excuse, which he will.

It's not going to be any different in my opinion. It might even be worse, cause at least with TR he got to fight Donaire. I guarantee you they will not feed Abner Mares or Leo Santa Cruz to him, I guarantee that. I don't know why everyone thinks GBP productions is the saving grace, go look up what Schaefer thought about Erislandy Lara after his fight with Angulo. He said he's difficult to promote, that was considered an exciting fight... They made it very clear how they feel about Cuban fighters. Nah. It's not going to be any different.

Mr. X your av is hilarious

HBO would be making a major mistake by letting him go.

Cuban boxers: Derailing them since who knows when. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

He should hed get to whipp the other prima Donnas and fake champions derail more plans and piss more people and nutthuggers off id love it. But GBP just had a taste of that with Lara and they also where sour as fk so i doubt they want any other live dogs who wont follow their plan when they want to sacrifice them in the mix. Cuban boxers quickly becoming the nuthuggers And cash cow derailers of the sport pissing the big promoters off .
