Top Rank having their PR person convince the public that Rigo Stinks?

[Jam Jars]

Why did Arum sign him if he doesn't like him? I think he's mad that Rigondeaux dealt a massive blow to his plans of making Donaire the next Pacquiao.

Those so called 'boxing experts' are a ****ing disgrace.

We just witnessed a top 5 P4P fighter get completely outclassed and dominated and these 'experts' can't see it? Rigo should have offered Rafael a donut after the fight, then the fat **** would have been singing his praises.

rigo was on twitter the other day congratulating rafael about the baby and said he was very appreciative of all the support. lol only if he knew all the s*** rafael has talked about him

This is misleading. "Distributing" for publicists holds a different connotation from simply posting links on his own twitter and facebook. It's not as if Sternburg was actively emailing press releases bashing Rigo to various boxing sites for them to put up. He always posts articles of all the main news sources on his twitter account of recent Top Rank fights. ESPN and Yahoo were the only negative ones, which he can't ignore because they're the major organizations. He also posted a number non-negatives articles from Sports Illustrated, USA Today, NY Daily News, Ring, and Maxboxing.

Sternburg even jabbed Rafael's article.

good find , i dont know much about the whole situation just saw the article from ************* and posted it.

That looks abundantly clear to me now, bro. Makes me even happier now to know that Rigo upset Arum's little apple cart. Fuck that motherfucker. Nothing like seeing a scheming piece of shit have his plans blow up in his face....

absolutely!!! Matter of fact the reason they only signed him to 3 fights was because they were going to use him for donaire and then get rid of him

[Bushbaby]

Ha, I know. I've heard. The "well Rigo didn't throw enough punches". But what they haven't said is "well Rigo out-threw and outlanded Donaire and had one of the best fighters in the sport shook and scared to fire".

[Cubanborn87]

You still rolling with this myth? I'm a white Cuban. Cubanborn looks as white as they get ( ) and we support Rigo...

lol yeah i never understood that myth, now if you tell me the ones that came in the 60's or so feel that way because a lot of them are americanized now or they were nothing but lawyers or doctors cool. But the whole thing about light or dark is ****** doesn't make sense i think or more a generation factor than skin color. Cubans that came in the last 20 years or so I bet all support cuban boxers

[Cubanborn87]

That's simple not true..in Cuba there is not racism at all..I never even look the color of somebody skin..if he is cuban is all what I care..I m a white cuban super nationalistic as it is cu****uyNYC, Brickcityboxing and cubanborn87 and Rigo is a god for us..I don't even want him to be white, I like him as he is, if I will see him anyday I will hug him and tell him how proud I m of him to be cuban..I live in miami between a million cuban or cuban-american and I never knew anybody who don't support Rigo cuz he is black..we all love him..everybody is talking about him in every gas station every supermarker, everywhere. .belive me the is a million mortals in miami adoring our black Cuban God Guillermo"the jackal"Rigondeaux who is not really black, he is golden....

great post, i mean when you o to cuba you dont see the color barrier like here, you go to a party and is half white half black you go to see a group of friends hanging out together and is the same thing. I took my friend to cuba and he was amazed on how there wasn't any evident proof of color barrier at all and basically everyone "ate together" if you know what i mean

[Cubanborn87]

That's not true. That's just something Arum said. How much do you think he knows about Cuban culture? For what it's worth, everyone I knew for a fact was Cuban at the Rigo fight was light-skinned, including myself.

there was a dark skin couple to our left bro but they were really quiet unlike us lol i guess they were surrounded by filis

[Twako]

ppl whine about arum's comments, but it's true. people were booing the fight most of the rounds. only time rigo probably would dare mix it up if he's fighting bums.

[Cubanborn87]

For the record theres a lot of cubans whiter than me thousands i got dark brown hair and spanish features lol i know a lot of cubans from miami with light brown hair and european noses lmao
