    So Bob Arum threw his own fighter under the bus

    After the biggest win of his career you would think a fighter can count on his promoter to say something nice about him.

    But instead Arum badmouths Rigo as if he hadn't just accomplished something special. And says he will have a hard time promoting him.

    Damn, even if you believe that don't say it in public.

    Imagine how Rigo feels. Bob has proven himself to be a P.O.S. again.

      I think Rigo is mostly promoted by Caribe Promotions than Top Rank. He's Co-Promoted, whereas Donaire is pretty much Top Rank's 122lb star, so it's not surprising what Arum said. He's trying to keep Donaire relevant

        That makes sense, but I still think the man is a P.O.S. lol

          He could have saved face for Nonito without trashing Rigo like that. That was a very disrespectful thing to do.

            I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that Rigo and Bob don't have the best relationship. I wouldn't be surprised to see Rigo jump ship when he has the chance.

              Bob Arum is a scumbag I can't believe he did that to Rigo as well so much for being a promoter. I can't wait for this guy to be out of the picture . I wish nothing bad on people but this guy has been getting on everyone's nerves . Rigo should leave him and go to Goldenboy when he gets the chance. Rigo must feel devasted deep down inside his own promoter hates his guts

                you'd expect a 80 yr old man to be wiser and more respectful than that....this is why so many who follow the sport can't stand his old ass

                  He did pretty much the same thing to Bradley after his "win" over Manny

                  Bob knows whats up. Bradley and Rigo don't get the big money offers from he TV execs so Arum makes less money. It's all about the dollars and Rigo and Bradley just dont make Dollars like Manny and Nonito do with their loyal followers
