Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Furious: Says He Was Ignored in San Antonio

[budfr]

I want to call you so many things for saying this but I remember that I'm at a computer terminal, I wish I could meet you in person and explain to you how the deal is, but I think doing through the INTERNET has to do it, what you say is so wrong that I'll assume you are just a kid, Casamayor got bicycle for his Gold Medal back in 1992, he exchange it for a pig so he could feed his family, that's when he decided to defect, everyone of those Olympic Champions has their own horror story, so please STFU...

So boxing in the " free " world is great?? Promoters and commissions are corrupt and itīs also ridiculous that an athlete becomes ****** rich and some scientists donīt have a job. And donīt think just because you are Cuban ( probably Cuban-American) you know everything about Cuba.

Imagine if Donaire had 400 amateurish fights with bums.

Maybe he would''ve ended 300 - 100 as he doesn't seem to box too smart. I mean c'mon Vazquez jr s jab landing on him all night...

[The Tase]

Boxers with 9 wins and whose best win is against ricardo cordoba should be ignored by fighters who are in the top 5 p4p of the whole sport who happens to be a 4 division champion with two spectacular ko wins over other two top 10 p4p fighters.

Righteously/Rightfully/justifiably so.

[Laborer]

Man don't you c/ He doesn't need 30 fights against cab drivers to show he is one of the best, you guys are obsessed with the quantity and not the quality of those wins, 195W 51L that is the record of Rigondeaux opposition with only nine fights, check canelo's and Jr, and Doanire's at the same stage.

That's the point I'm trying to make, HBO didn't think there was enough 'quality' fights in Rigo that requires them to pay especial respect in public for him. But I bet if Rigo had 20-0, they'd be compelled to do so, even without about the 'quality'. Quality is very abstract idea to many people, but numbers sell. That's the way things are.

I love how Rigondeaux is so much overrated in this forum, and his fanboys are at full force.

And LOL at him bashing the network as if they owe him anything.

One of the greatest amateur in years, yeah, but 9-0 pro fights where he struggled with Cordoba and a greatest win so far in Ramos, and this guy b1tches and moan about recognition?

Rigo's throwing a tantrum like a little girly. What does he expect? To be ceremoniously paraded about because he beat Ramos? He expected HBO, Bob Arum, and Larry Merchant to fawn over him? He just lost a few G points for this episode of 'nobody's paying attention to me'.

[Drunk Punch]

Wow, he really thinks he's Billy Bigtime now doesn't he?

[frosty-g]

1 never knows what Merchant's going to say as he 's usually 1/2 in the bag but RIgo, who I like as a boxer is wrong...he was there as a spectator so watch the bout & shut up...talk tomorrow...

god you should have seen it back at the start of 2008, at the haye maccarinelli fight- they introduced a bunch of fighters to the ring- talking the likes of frank bruno, joe calzaghe etc.
then "and now the guvnor of british boxing"- i'm sat there thinking who on earth it was going to be...
amir ****ing khan.
this was right back about 6 months before prescott did him but the hype express was in full effect.

[frosty-g]

well rigo. maybe you should leave and sign with goldy.

i'm half wondering if arum snapped him up to make a few quid on the side but basically so he would be better able to control keeping him away from donaire who was always going to be moving up to this weight class...
or am i just a cynic?
