Should Rigondeaux leave for Golden Boy once Contract is up?

[leonthegee]

In fairness to Arum he maneuvered him into position to fight Donaire pretty well after only 11 fights, he got him a title in under 10 fights, and he got a very respectable purse for the Donaire fight which he didnt really deserve on the basis of how much of a draw he is.

I'd wait till his next few fights before saying he should leave. Arum needs all the talent he can get and that could force him to make sure Rigo gets good fights? You never know.

Having said that i would love to Rigo vs Mares so as a boxing fan i would be happy if he left for GB...

Good stuff.

Not yet. Give Arum a chance to do his thing first. He's done well so far.

GBP hasn't done anything with Erislandy Lara yet. He hasn't even been mentioned as an opponent for Canelo despite being his mandatory.


Grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Also i dont know how seriously gbp takes their lower weight classes

[AnKhang]

No. He got the fight he wanted. I don't see any reason why he should. I think Rigo is content with where he is right now.

[Underboss]

Yes he should.

Arum sucks the living crap out of his fighters like a vampire. Golden Boy is the future. And it will benefit Rigondeaux alot since he will be fighting with a promoter who is big in the Mexican community.

[DosRounds]

Yeah since he has a promoter who does not appreciate him. I wonder if Oscar and Schafer will be better though?

[HeroBando]

He just made 750k, with 11 fights. I doubt GBP main man Mares ever made that much, and he's supposed to be a star.

[SoulByThePound]

I don't think it's about not selling tickets.

Somewhat it is

[DosRounds]

true....i could see them promising rigo a fight with the mares vs deleon winner only to have him fight never ending title eliminators...

It's a shame that Erislandy Lara is in that position right now

Bob Arum's attitude towards Rigondeaux's win/performance is the most disgusting behavior I have ever seen a promoter have towards a fighter of his who just won a fight. The answer is absolutely yes.

I agree with you 100% man. Both GBP and TR should at least try to promote their Cuban fighters in Miami. They act like they can't sell tickets out there. Lara gets no love from GBP either
