I call BS on HBO not "wanting" Rigondeaux

[Mikhnienko]

I think this is grounds for Rigo to break contract. How does he have a promoter who has no interest in promoting him. All Arum has done is talk down Rigo. Rigo should jump ship and go with GBP if they're willing to promote him the way he deserves to be promoted.

Ward had an even stronger grievances with Goosen not returning calls or taking meetings but Andre didn't win that can't see it happen for Rigo. Who does GB have that could fight Rigo? LSC, Garcia, Mares are all TR.

I think Rigo should try to right boxers like Frampton or maybe Terrazas or Mijares.

To be fair even with TR Nonito is not going to fight him again and García won't fight him either.

Mares is with GB btw.

I dont see whats so hard to understand, people where booing Rigo live at the nonito fight not becuase of dislike but because of his style, it is not TV friendly.

Yes HBO be putting on Not really recognized name on TV but NON Recognized name but names that will put on a TV friendly fight. HBO is in the buisness to make money and that comes from subscribers, the real boxing fans are gonna watch the fights anyways, the casual fans want "tv friendly" fights which Rigo is defiantly not.

Rigondeux is one of the best pure boxers in the world and u don't want him?????

[onechance87]

oh please natas.If hbo wanted rigo back,He would be back.Yet they
already have a date for nonito.Rigo will be back on dec i bet

[DoktorSleepless]

I recall Steve Kim saying Geale vs Barker is a residue of the old regime owing Garry Shaw a date. And having that fight actually makes sense because they're investing heavily in the middleweight division with Golovkin and Martinez. The winner of the fight is a likely opponent for either of them.

They are blackballing rigo because hbo and top rank spent 2 plus years hyping donaire and then watched it all go down the drain when donaire fought rigo....

Yes rigo doesnt have a tv friendly style but god damn i swear i have watched winky wright, hopkins, vernon forrest for years on hbo and they didnt have a problem...

Remember joppy vs taylor,,,,

This is all BS

[Canelo Phresh]

Arum hates slicksters.

[Heru]

They don't pay Shiming's purse, nor does he get a premium slot.

Legitimate reasons to televise Shiming over Rigondeaux... Are there similar reasons for choosing Crawford over Rigondeax?

[HanzGruber]

Move up to FW and fight someone who throws atleast two punches instead of one and we'll see if he's too skilled or dangerous.

all these mares fans keep saying rigo needs to move to 126, he walks in the ring at 128 lol. 99% of fighters dont even fight in their natural weight class but rigo gets slack when hes constantly fighting bigger guys already
