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

Instead of blatantly calling your fighter a boring fighter, why not set up fights in Miami where most of his fanbase is? A Double Header HBO maybe?

I actually think Rigo has tons of charisma. Just him telling Nonito "you happy you snitch you lab rat" was the most lulz worthy moment in boxing lately. I think hes got it in him but he really needs to adopt english to cross over especially since hes not mexican (considering thebsize of the fanbase).

I do get the feeling that i think that bob arum was forced to make that fight by HBO. He knew nonito was gonna get beat thats why he tried downplaying it so that the network woruldnt want it. If he doesnt like Rigo he should let him out of his contract. So we can see him vs mares

this is just sad


if Arum doesn't want to promote him and thinks he sucks, then break his contract and let him sign with someone else


he just had his breakthrough fight, Arum should spinning the hype machine the other way and trying to build on his next 'unbeaten' star

It's a real shame. I'm just glad that fans are recognizing his talent and amazing skills and with the internet era our voice will be heard. Just look at the Kevin Iole where he dissed Rigo and the majority of fans ripped him and his article apart on the comments section; everybody was praising Rigos performance.

[Bushbaby]

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.

So why didn't Donaire do anything about it??

It's pretty odd isn't it? I don't get where Arum is going with this, it puzzles me.

ARum is trying to put pressure on Rigondo to get more aggressive and offensive
