Agreed 100%. They have no idea what they are doing. According to Gary Hyde, Caribe rejected to multi-million dollar deals: one with Roc Nation the other with Frank Warren. They need to be dealt with.
Nah. He doesn't have any stake in Caribe. He's getting screwed. They serve no purpose other than to kill negotiations, price him out of big fights and take a percentage of his purse.
damn............
I hope Caribe Promotions is something that Rigondeaux started and own because if not, he's getting screwed with no lube.

i agree 100%
riGOD is the most entertaining fighter in the sport as far as i concerned. im actually dissapointed when he knocks people out because i would rather watch him the entire 12 rounds.
he is a true master of his craft and more than just an athlete. he is what dostoevsky was when putting words on a paper, what de niro is on the silver screen, what malcolm x was when speaking in front of a crowd.. thats what rigondeaux is in a boxing ring.
like ali or SRR before him, he goes beyond greatness. he is poetry in motion, when he is in the ring boxing isnt merely a sport but an art form and he is one of the greatest pugilistic artists to ever bless the earth with his presence.
but to quote george foreman, "boxing is like jazz, the better it is the less people appreciate it".
i feel sorry for those feeble minded brutes who cant appreciate rigondeaux, i really do. watching him is truly an honor and a privilege, that so many so called "boxing fans" cant comprehend it is truly sad.
Green K sent.
Absolutely spot on.
People who criticize Rigo just don't understand or care for the sweet science. What Rigo does is masterful, artful, and awe insirping. Similar to Floyd, I am both thrilled and honored to witness a fighter of his pedigree in my lifetime.
WAR RIGO!
Change his style? lol
You expect a guy who has had major success in the amateurs and pros for over 20 years to change his training methods and fighting style to please guys who don't even buy fights for most part anyway?
Even when he is more offensive he still gets labelled boring!
He scores knockdowns and knockouts in most of his fights.
He could become even more offensive, render opponents unconscious then what? He is fighting bums? What do fans want from a fighter these days?
He fights anybody! Never has he ducked a fighter.
He displays amazing skills, he knocks opponents down and out for most part. He don't price himself out or make crazy demands regarding gloves, ring size etc and still he is hated on.
Like I said before if he was American he'd be labelled as the second coming of Sweetpea with power!
He can fight anyway he wants but don't get mad when fans see he pulls his foot off the gas when he can get a knockout. Most paying customers of boxing, aren't purist geeks who marvel at the intricacies of the sport. They want to see kos. Coasting most likely doesn't get it done.
That whole video went out the window once he brought race into it.
WTF does anything have to do with racism in this situation?
You know whats a good way to spoil a perfectly good commentary, bring in racism when it's not even in the picture.
I'm a big Rigo fan, but this whole racial aspect is just dumb.
First off Rigo is a Cuban, so in this case for USA he is a Latino fighter.
WTF does African-American (black) support have to do with Rigo?
Otherwise good commentary, boxing is now a popularity contest with dumbass fans, but this guy didn't do himself any favors.
Like seriously and he's getting what like 300k for his next fight, everyone is quick to say its bobs fault but if you look at it in a different percpective it's rigid own fault for staying with caribe, are they even a promotional company like I said before as soon as he left TR he's going to fighting on fox1 and espn2 if he's lucky
Rigo is going to be irelevent until he leaves caribe promotions

Rigo has no need to change, that is absolutely correct.
He is the best fighter on the planet who schools guys and basically does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. His skill level is simply off the charts, nothing boring about a boxing master putting on clinic after clinic.
Rigo has beat Donaire with ease; he wants Santa Cruz, Frampton, Quigg...he wants the other top fighters and they are all avoiding him like the plague. Those guys ducking him are the one's you need to look at and complain about.
good post these people are insane todays fans actually hate boxing more than they think

Great post! Green K!
HBO hasn't got over what RigonGOD did to 1 of their best boxers in terms of ratings (Donaire).
The guy in the video is absolute correct, instead of mentioning that RigonGOD schools boxers & is master of craft...they talk about empty seats, smh.
Whoever gets brain washed by HBO or what ever other channel that displays hate towards him, don't deserve to watch the G.O.A.T anyway.

You forget Mayweather was once a victim of the system, yet we see people like you upset about the fact he much more than a boxer at this point. It's amazing how you speak of the tyranny of Arum... Yet I bet you feel he is not the reason the fight we all want to see is not happening.
Post logically as far as I can tell your apocryphal post is saying I either have to totally endorse promoters or fighters. No. Mayweather did some horrendous things that damaged his cred... I still endorse Hopkins and many of golden boys Ventures. I do think arum plays a role in this fight happening I just don't believe pac should have to sign with Floyd to make it happen.

the new generation don't know the sport, they are accounter, matchmakers and promoters all at the same time and of course they beleive whatever the arums and espinozas of the world tell them, they don't see that the night Rigondeaux fought adbeko the headliner was kirkland-tapia, everyone was there to watch tapia steamroll over kirkland didn't happen and they left after the fight, but who got the blame? Against nonito he show what a master he is, if you change his name to SRL (second fight against Duran) or Whitaker (any fight) he will be bigger than may, but not, arum came after the fight slashing at GR and the rest is history, even adbeko was supossed to test his mettle but once he got hit it was all over...
