HBO is ridiculous...

Unimas probably pays more than afternoon HBO2. Rigo would have gotten paid the same no matter what channel he was on..... He has minimum of 500k

Was this thread made after the fight? If so, lol Complaining about not seeing 2 minutes of live rigo action

Because rigo bores the viewers , can't blame hbo, and this is coming from someone who has rigo number 1 on their p4p list

Come on guys. Ratings. No one knows who the fuck Ramirez and SHiming are. This is about Rigo moving over to SHowtime and not giving him air time. Has rigo going over to showtime been confirmed yet?

Come on guys. Ratings. No one knows who the fuck Ramirez and SHiming are. This is about Rigo moving over to SHowtime and not giving him air time. you think showtime will be different? lara can't even get love over there lol. canelo had to beg for the fight to get lara any play. lara even *****es about the same thing

Unimas probably pays more than afternoon HBO2.

Rigo should def be supervised.. Viloria I can do with highlights unless he is fighting a major fight.. I don't mind Ramirez and Zhou being televised but rigo def should, even if it's the opener.. He is a top 3 p4p caliber fighter... Arum and hbo just need to feed him aggressive fighters that will go out on their sheild.. Any other style and rigo is in a snoozer

They didn't show Viloria and he gave them a great fight vs Estrada last time. Viloria is always must see TV. Shame on HBO.

In Gilberto's defense I like the kid.

Why does HBO show Gilberto ramirez and zou shaming's fights but they don't air Brian viloria and rigondeaux's fight???? Makes no fkn sense! They need to get their sht straight. Ah man I thought the whole card was going to be on unimas, I guess I missed Ramirez fight

It's called "ratings". That's their bottom line. They cut Klitschko too remember.

HBO (and in fact every tv station) cares more about ratings than having the best boxers. Rigo does not excite or bring ratings. A couple years ago HBO would try to hype up Rigo but the viewers didn't buy it since his style is not action oriented and he has no persona to make people tune in. For example, Mayweather fights are not sold (for the most part) on Mayweather's skill but on the persona (TBE, Money, undefeated). Some people watch his fights to watch him lose. If Rigo was more obnoxious or controversial he might get more coverage (sad but true).

because they are the "best in boxing" and have to maintain viewers... last time rigo was on HBO people shut there tv's off or changed the channel
