    Thank You!

      I hope they can find a clean and safe way to make that happen. If he can generate some more decent paydays it will help.

        Amen to that bro. People act like they're not. They friggin are. If Rigo owns 2 and you don't wanna fight him, you're choices for the title are literally cut in half. Hopes he gets the other 2.

          I'm on the seventh replay..

          But I'm only re-watching because of loud 'we' are and can't hear the brilliant commentary..

            In Rigo's defense, Mayweather was considered boring his entire life.

            Rigo's just going to have to learn the native language and learn how to sell fights outside the ring.

                  Yeah, you can be a great fighter but produce a boring spectacle.

                  He was considered boring until his legs left him. Now his fights are considered entertaining, he is walking fighters down.

                    Technical fighters are more appreciated in (continental) Europe. He could live in Spain (where they speak his langauge) and fight in Germany.

                      Terrazas/Mijares (WBC title fight) is co-promoted by Top Rank, so that's one option for Rigondeaux. Romero (IBF titlist) is promoted by Shaw/Thompson Boxing, so no issues there. Rigo will no longer have to chase someone for a shot, cuz now he's at the top.
