So no Rigo-LSC fight???

Any response from the Santa Cruz camp yet? Is it confirmed that Haymon is blocking the fight? I mean do you accept that these Haymon fighters are virtually powerless when it comes to choosing their next opponent? Or it's just a convenient excuse? It can't be confirmed, but this whole "don't blame Haymon" crap is comical. When these fighters say "it's up to my manager Al Haymon," it means he has influence on them. He plays the role of manager, adviser, and now a promoter. He has smart people in his employ and matchmakers that surely convey their thoughts to him. His influence among his fighters is not to be overlooked, but if the fighter is displeased with the competition he's facing they could say something about it. These fights are mutually decided imo. Besides, LSC-Rigo isn't a fight that favors his man, I can't recall the last time Haymon dealt with another manager/promoter unless his money guy was almost sure to win (I suppose Loma-Russell, but that was ordered by some sanctioning body)

Bob Arum doe.

That's why LSC should refrain from mentioning names from now on. He should know by now that fights don't just happen. You make them happen. If he and Haymon are not in sync, what's the point of calling out names? And who exactly are you addressing when you mention names? Is it not Haymon? So why don't you tell him? Who exactly do you expect to make these fights for you? Ellerbe? He only name drops people to save face and try to dupe dumb ass Mexicans into thinking he actually wants to fight these people. Every few months, he changes the name of who he wants to fight. First it was Frampton....then Quigg....then Rigo....then back to Frampton then back to Rigo. All the while he has no intention of fighting any of them and fights taco vendors instead.

fck this. Fck LEO. This **** pisses me off. Im done as a fan. :ugh: I damn near died . It's alright we all knew this would happen In all honesty I didn't. I thought Donaire vs RIgo would never happen and yet DOnaire stepped up same thing with Lara vs Canelo, but this sh*t right here is some b*tch QUillin next level sh*t.

This is completely off topic so I apologize for that. Ring magazine ranks 3 UK. fighters in the top 10 contenders for Rigo's title and none of them have ever lost a pro fight. Carl Frampton is Ring's #1 contender ahead of #2 Santa Cruz. Scott Quigg is #3 and Kid Galahad is #6. It's surprising to see the UK so strong in such a light weight class. Rigo vs. Santa Cruz is the fight I want. I think they are both great but I think Rigo can beat any 122 pound boxer in the world.

You were excited for a fight that was never going to happen?

Can Haymon stop the fight if Santa Cruz says yes to the fight? Is Haymon Santa Cruz's advisor or his boss? This guy Haymon who manages an unbelievable number of good fighters seems to always be stopping good fights that should be happening.

It's alright we all knew this would happen

why am I not surprised at your rationalization? you rationalize it any way you like, fetta, your direct quotes insist otherwise. your logic is warped and f*cked up, its wrong on countless accounts. c'mon son, the hype ain't good enough now, you a promoter? do you only support the making of fights with tremendous hype about them? Is Rigo too good to fight anyone? With your logic, you should hate Al Haymon for lack of quality fights. Ok i admit i got caught up on hupe of that fight cause it was much much bigger on so many levels and talked about for years. Chavez was a superstar then and that was a superstar fight. LSC is being saved for Mares, which will happen soon. And im alright with that. Sucks Rigo is stuck in limbo cause like i said hes the best in division but it is what it is unfortunately. Not liked LSC is not fighting rigo to fight crap. The mares fight is coming. LSC V Mares will be haymon and most of the other good fights this year so far are haymon so i dont hate him over one bad year. Especially when i knew this was coming.

Well I'm done with Leo! Tried to be positive with everybody bashing him but this is just EMBARRASSING! Don't try to put this BS on Haymon! Fighters HIDE behind Haymon's Power in Boxing. He is the Manager not the Promoter/Match Maker so if Leo is saying one thing Publicly then telling Haymon behind the scenes that "HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN THAT FIGHT" then that is Haymon Job to give the fighters what they want! I seriously doubt Leo truly wants to fight but Haymon is blocking it, I call compete BS on that one. Leo and of course his Father, never ever truly sounded very interested in this fight. He just took a huge hit with this BS! Yeah we will likely get Mares vs Leo which is not bad but damn they way he avoided Rigondeaux looks so Cowardly! :sad::nonono: Respect to Oscar for the Bold No Nonsense Move! That sends a message, if you don't want to fight the best...THEN FUK OFF!

Fu@k haymon......!!!!

rigo should change his name from el chacal to el Cucuy. fixed it for you!

Yes that fight i wanted cause i couldnt stand Chavez being given everything just cause of name. And it was a big big fight cause of that name. Hype was big and exciting. Wanted to see if he was real. Yes i let personal disgust sway my decision. Is that case here with you guys? LSC V Rigo is not even close to hype and LSC i obviously dont think as highly as all you. Yes hes exciting but so what. Dont mix it up, If fight happens im on board but if it doesnt im alright too. Maybe down line it still will but its one o dont clamor for. why am I not surprised at your rationalization? you rationalize it any way you like, fetta, your direct quotes insist otherwise. your logic is warped and f*cked up, its wrong on countless accounts. c'mon son, the hype ain't good enough now, you a promoter? do you only support the making of fights with tremendous hype about them?

Most fans would as all 3 are top fights. Only snag is if Russell upsets jhonny. Yeah Russell could throw a wrench in the system

I'll take any of those three fights. Most fans would as all 3 are top fights. Only snag is if Russell upsets jhonny.

"Talks have begun. Leo wants the fight. Golden Boy wants the fight, Rigo, his promoter and his manager want the fight. I'm not sure if Al would want the fight but the promoters and fighters want the fight. Leo is at a point where he should be fighting the best of the best. At this point I'm not going to promote a fight with Leo if it***8217;s not the best opponent for him and for the fans to watch. One thing about Leo is he wants to fight the best." So Haymon blocks another fight. Let's blame it on LSC. He came out and said he wanted the fight, he told oscar he wanted the fight, Oscar confirms he wants the fight, called rigo out after his last fight, but he's ducking doe. Fck Al "tranny lover" Haymon I'm positive if Santa Cruz really wanted it he could override Haymon.

Haymon ain't neva block a fight yo! Dat be dat dood Arum he be protectin' his fighters like Pac yo'!!

Ok. Let's hope it leads to lsc v jhonny and lasc v mares if we don't get lsc v rigo. I'll take any of those three fights.
