Don't put that disgraceful coward in the same sentence with Triple GGG.
GGG is fighting on HBO, Rigo is fighting on Unimas lol.
GGG is feared, Rigo is not wanted/cared for. That's the difference.
Rigo is much more skilled than Golovkin.
Golovkin's become big enough where he isn't facing the problems he used to.
Rigo's where Golovkin was 3 years ago, and unfortunately for him that probably won't change anytime soon.
No money in fighting Rigo. TR was overpaying for his services as it was.
It's not like Rigo's resume is scaring anyone off. Outside of Donaire he only has few wins over some marginal top 15 BW's.
Rigo can't even get mandatory challengers in the ring.
More propaganda. Rigo was set to make $238 k for the Avalos fight.
Avolos was getting $ 79 k for that fight.
There were no TV networks that wanted the fight either.
**** Avalos got $75 k for his last fight, he got $ 40 k for ESPN 2 fight.
Why would he fight for peanuts because Rigo is owned by 3rd world promotional company.
P4P 3 ranked WBA (Super), WBO, and The Ring Super Bantamweight.
His mandatorys are ducking him for **** sake, it's just so sad.
Oh Rookie..so much to learn.
Okay, who are Rigo's 3 best opponents?
1. Corboba on the Pac undercard? He should have lost.
2. Donaire..a horrible fight where he got dropped like 3rd period French...again. He skowed some skills and balls in rounds 11 and 12 to win.
3. Abeko..please, he lost 3 of his last 5 fights before the Rigo fight and looked awful in doing so. Abeko has fought 10 WC fighters. He is 6-4 vs them with 1 KO.
Time for the little man to shut and move up to FW to see if he is truly great or the dude hiding at 122 lbs. in a made-up division like I think he is.
BTW ...He is no where near top 10 P4P list either.
A boxer with those skills should not be fighting for peanuts, especially when he holds belts!
Come on man, it is called Prized Fighting.
You only fight for Big Prizes ($$$) when:
1. People buy tickets to your fights..It is called the gate.
2. TV audiences are demanding that you are on TV...It is called public demand.
3. Sponsors want your fights on to sell their commercials or advertise on the ring..It is called patronage.
4. Your TV ratings are high or a network envisions you as a stable fighter or future PPV star.
Rigo has NONE of these.
He got $250k for his last fight !!!
Read the column by Michael Woods about Rigo not wanting to fight anyone. Rigo has been talking about fighting at FW for over 2 years now.
There is a reason that Rigo has been a pro for over 5 years now and has only 14...yes only 14 fights.
He don't want to fight.
Do you want facts or opinions
Opinions: Rigo
Facts: GGG
Only one of these guys has fought a guy at the top of their division and that's Rigo, Martinez and now Cotto don't seem to be willing but GGG is going to make it almost impossible to say no to him because he is becoming a draw, Rigo could take note, make a fight with you a no brainer money talks.

Of course he deserves more with that kind of talent but then it goes to show he's not as avoided as people make him out to be. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of hesitancy from guys wanting to fight him but if there are actual offers, then he needs to go and fight regardless if he feels he's fighting for peanuts. He can't become irrelevant just to withhold for higher offers that might not come.
Don't put that disgraceful coward in the same sentence with Triple GGG.

Rigo. 122-126 is stacked. Only donaire had the balls to fight him. Ggg is calling out welterweights lol
Floyd has a belt at 154 which GGG offers to make. But you know that already.
If only GGG had more balls like Stevenson and Quillen huh?
Come on man. Rigo's own people said that he has 4 offers for over $500k and doesn't want to fight.

Rigo by far! Everybody uses the excuse that he is boring and brings no money. It's just sad! Reality is every potential opponent knows deep inside they stand no chance!
