    Well its not as if Arum is known to be a shy respectful man

    But I can see his point really. One of the most talented fighters in the sport, but won't get paid like a top athlete. It's a shame, but it's just the way it works.

      That's because people base everything off race....Mexican Warrior, Puerto Rican warrior...slick black fight, Filipino Filipino...if people learned to like a boxer due to what they bring to the table instead of race, Rigo would have no problems, instead they want to back one dimensional fighters like Margarito and Rios.

        I sent the points to the screen name "Angry Cuban" with no asterisks on it. Did you change your screen name?

          Boxing like any other sport is entertainment. Business people produce entertainment to make money. You can't make money promoting boring fighters.

          People need to get real. If you want to support boring boxers, stop streaming for free and start paying for every fight so you'll able to see these kinds of boxers often. You people are part of the problem. You want everything for free.

              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.
              Bob is a pierce of garbage bro. What a way to **** on a guy after he gets the biggest win in his career. Smh

                      Nonito was probably lined up for a Manny-esque run, I can see why Arum was salty.
