    Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum expects a very big struggle in promoting WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0, 8KOs) because of his defensive style. On Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall, Rigondeaux knocked off Nonito Donaire with a twelve round unanimous decision. It was a huge win for the two-time Olympic gold medal winner, who has to be considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.

    What is happening... Pacquiao dont have much left in boxing for the big Philipino fans worldwide... Arum needed Donaire to have Philipino fans buying pay-per-view... Now there are no Philipino boxing stars other than a few more fights left in Pacquiao... Arum is toast

      He should release him then if he can't handle it and stick to promoting Donaire vs midgets.

            Rich spoiled people usually don't like challenges. When their lies and BS catch up with them, they panic. When he wanted to build up all the other fighters, he put them in the ring with tailored made fighters to make them look good. I don't see why he can't do the same with Rig.

                  It's hard to imagine any of the current 122 pounders being a serious threat to Rigo, let alone filling arena seats. Sorry, Bob.

                  At Featherweight, Mikey Garcia vs Rigo might be your best bet to attract interest from boxing fans. Time to do some big-time promoting because Rigondeaux ain't gettin' any younger and is too good a talent to waste.

                    I dont blame arum cause who wants to see rigo, hes a cuban with no fanbase and his style aint tv friendly.

                    In boxing you either can be boring in the ring and have a huge fan base or have no fan base but be tv friendly cant be both.

                    Now HBO are just shady motherfuckers.

                      Why do "Boxing fans" care about ticket sales? Rigo is top talent in the sport we love, and he just proved that by airing out nonito.
                      Bob is smart, he knows what to do with Rigo. he can do the same thing he's been doing with all his fav fighters.
                      Put him in there with face first, flat footed, washed up fighters, sell them as legit threats, and hail him as the next coming of the guy who can beat Floyd.
                      Bob dont want Rigo to be a star, Bob dont care how good he is, Bob only cares about the money. And we as boxing fans should let Bob know how we feel by supporting Rigo/the real talent in the sport.
                      Dont get caught up in the BS
