My thoughts on the whole "Lara/Rigo are hard to promote"

[Pr23]

Homie is right. If anything, the language barrier is the biggest issue. Please don't sit here and say Mayweather become the PPV king based on his style. His level of bore is on par if not WORSE than Rigo and Lara. Need data? How about this.

Lara KO % = 61%
Rigo KO% = 66%
Mayweather KO% = 59%

When is the last time Mayweather did the damage to an opponent Lara did to Angulo or Rigo to Donaire?

You can't compare the ko stats n say they are bigger ko artist n not as boring as may because look how many fights they have. Rigo has like 12 fights lara 18. Their competition isn't nowhere near as close as the one floyd has faced even though I dont think floyd has that great of a resume either

I dont care whos boring and whos not , i could care less who sells more then who i just want rigo and lara to get the top fights they deserve if they loose ok, but dont ignore them like there bums. i wanna see lara against trout, canelo or cotto because i know he'll win and beat the crap outta them ,not because i think it would sell.

I think it's nationality as much as language barrier. Even if Rigo and Lara spoke English, they'd still be considered foreign. Who wants to watch and support a boring, foreign guy?

Organizing and promoting boxing events require millions of hard-to-find dollars. What we see on television didn't just appear out of nothing. Even the ring girls have to get paid. Long story short, investors have to make mon-neeey.

While I don't like Mayweather, he isn't as boring because his skills make it interesting. I know Rigo has Mayweather type skills, but he uses them in a different fashion.

Angulo looked like an A fighter on sat with his beast stamina he never stoped the attack and never even breathe hard, even his trainer said your not even breathing so thats good by like the 8th, and canelo was tired in the 3rd without throwin punches just tryin to dodge jabs lmaoo

This is my point. I don't think Rigo or Lara fight exactly like Mayweather, but I feel they are like Broner in a sense that you could say that Broner,Lara, and Rigo all use Mayweather's fighting style as a foundation for there own (Broner more deliberately, Lara and Rigo due to Cuban amateur style of boxing). Broner chooses to be a little more aggressive offensively than Mayweather which makes him more open to being hit, while Rigo and Lara use the Mayweather foundation but choose to use there legs instead of the shoulder roll defense which makes them slightly more defensive minded in their fights and slightly less exciting than Mayweather. Trout is another one with that style as well. Overall it's not really Lara or Rigo's fought, Most people just think pure boxers are boring, and only love fighters like Brandon Rios or Lucas. But when you match pure boxers with pressure fighters you get good fights like the one we got Saturday. Its like how fun would it be watching a Matador without the mean Bull charging him?
