Comments Thread For: Arum Expects a Big Struggle To Promote Rigondeaux

[Allucard]

Your a promoter Bob that has accomplished a lot. Embrace the challenge and get creative.

You put him with there against guys like Arce he will look like a power punching machine. You put him in there with guys that sit and wait on them he will pick them apart and it won't be very crowd pleasing.

This. Rigondaux just unified the division and schooled the 2012 fighter of the year in a masterful performance. Was it boring? Kinda, but what did we expect matching two counterpunchers like that? But don't get it twister, Rigondaux has POWER in both hands and fight allot more active when matched with the likes of what Donaire has been facing. So he'll do pretty well. I'll buy his fights and people in general will too. Damned be boxing when the best fighters can't sell fights.

Then give him to GoldenBoy, i bet they could give him better fights and some promotional backing.

That's the job of promoter. If he will be able to sell the defensive skills of Rigo, then, Arum should be given the credit!

Rigondo just ruined one of Arum's future cash cows... Donaire was supposed to pick up the slack for Pac with the pinoys.

no doubt marketing Rigondo is gonna be tough. casual fans want to see a fight, not a ballet

Maybe Rigo is a good co-main. Not exactly a Main Event type dude yet. That would prob be best.

Arum is pissed that Rigondeaux won, we all know that.

he's got a point. don king had the same issues with chris byrd. no one wanted to fight him so his only options were to have him fight other HWs from his stable or other fringe contenders on a smaller stage...

cuba is a small island, yo.

itll generate like 90 bucks.

How old are you? You are very ignorant about politics. Cuba does not care about Rigo, he does not exist there anymore, his name is not mentioned anywhere, he is considered a traitor. The question was about the Cuban community in Miami. Well, they donīt care much about him either.

[LeG00N]

Gotta agree with Bob on this one

[rambov]

BS, its very easy to make fights for Rigo. Just put him in there with Big punchers who think they have a chance. He can look good throwing counters.
