Cuban Fans Are Rigo's Biggest Problem

[RSBonos]

Florida is a MMA scene. Boxing doesnt do well out their.

No it's not. The UFC had like one show in Florida and they couldn't sell tickets. You Miami fans are in denial, just look how lousy the fans for the CHAMPIONSHIP Heat team are. Says it all.

STFO, you don't know $h1t, it is hard to get behind a Marlins team that get dismantled every other year and they haven't show any of the Laras, Gamboas or Rigondeaux big fights in South Florida so HTF do you know if we are going or not?

Lol I follow sports playboy and always see those marlin,jaguar.devil rays, and magic home games empty. And there's a reason why those fighters never get brought there for fights cuz they wouldn't draw $h1t. And didn't the marlins go threw a big spending spree last off season to bring the fans????? How did that work out? Not trying to hate on Florida just saying its bs that some very good fighters don't get the buzz they deserve down there . Even Devon Alexander is a draw in stl, ward in Oakland. How did Roy jones fights do on Florida???? Nobody went and he was 1 pfp at the time

Bob Arum and ONLY Bob Arum is Rigo's biggest problem....it's HIS job to make sure the Cuban fans know they have a GREAT fighter....thats called promotion, you know, that job that promoters are SUPPOSED to do!!

Yep. It's Arum's job to make sure the Mexican fans know about Rios or Mikey Garcia. Just like it's Schaefer's job to make sure the PR fans know that they have a great fighter in Danny Garcia.

Blame Arum! Brilliant!

Arum doesn't know anything of Cubans. He doesn't want to work anymore, that's the problem.

Miami fans love their sports team and will come to megafights

You mean the same Miami fans who missed one of the greatest comebacks in basketball history because they left a freaking NBA Finals elimination game early when their team was only down 4 points? GTFO

Lol. People say Rigo isn't promoted good?

Title in 9 or was it 11 fights. 750k payday by 13 or whatever. Sounds good to me..

At the end of the day, the main promoter is the boxer himself. A guy like Broner promotes himself well both inside and outside the ring, regardless of the means.

rofl.........


a fighter is not a promotor. you clearly have no idea what a promotor does. fighters are a spokesman for themselves. they are not in charge of their promotion.


i don't want to be malicious to any fighters here, but some boxers can hardly read. they cannot and do not promote themselves.

LOL. I didn't expect this. I assumed it's self explanatory.

I thought I gave the best example in Broner. Do you really need to promote a guy like Broner? Fans like the way he fights. Aside from that he comes up with antics like asking his dad to brush his hair at the end of the fight. He showboats and taunts his opponents. And outside the ring he's an ass.

Need I say more? You don't need a promoter with a guy like this.

Bring a good prime time fight down here in Miami and the people will come. Marlins park is empty because nobody wants to give that crook Loria a penny for baseball in his pockets after the crap he pulled off. Have a boxing fight in Marlins Park and people will show up to watch good match ups not mismatches.

I'm tired of people saying Miami is a front runner city smh. Miami fans aren't ****** and we won't pay or show up for a crappy product sold at premium prices.

The gutting of the marlins team happened because they underachieved & loria lost big bucks! It didn't help hiring ozzie guillen to a 4 year contract only to have him praise fidel castro & alienate a large portion of the fan base. Some sponsors were pulled shortly after. It was a media nightmare for loria. He had no choice but to fire guillen with 3 years left in his contract. I know he isn't the best owner but he's won 2 world series since he sold the montreal expos...he's done something right at one point... Wish they could turn it around...

They were building a fight with Donaire because Top Rank's roster is shallow. Now that he kicked Donaire's ass they don't know what to do with him. They didn't plan for this.

you don't need a promotor? you don't know what a promotor does. there's a huge difference between you not understanding something and something being unnecessary.

you understand that there's more than talking **** on a camera to promoting a fight?

i mean really, do you have any idea what a promotor does? venues, contracts, sponsorships, networks, finance, accounting/taxes, press tours, media relations, and much more. they [in this case, GBP] run a multimillion dollar businesses. they "produce" fighters.

99.9% of fighters can't do any of that, and don't. they talk on twitter and elle sechback's youtube, though. big f#Cking deal. if that's the extent of what you consider "promoting" then there's not much more i can tell you.

adrien broner would be an absolute nobody without a push from his promotor and manager, both of whom have incredible pull with HBO and showtime.


fighters need promotors. managers too. fighters train and fight. if you don't understand that then you're not worth any further effort in the provision of an explanation.
