    Rigondeaux vs HBO

    My understanding Rigo v Donaire did very well at the gate...

    Why the assumption that the winner (Rigondeaux) is not going to do well in his next fight? What proof can HBO present which states Rigondeaux is a marketing failure post Donaire win?

      What is this, a criminal court case that HBO have proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Rigo is in fact boring and not marketable? Where was the outrage when HBO did the exact same thing to Vlad?

            i admit rigo is very good... but he is boring as hell. HBO can do what they wante, they want their subscribers entertained. I think depending on the opponent HBO would show his fights though

              They should provide some evidence as why they are out casting Rigo.

              BTW, didn't you feel that Nishioka was the true 122lb testament for Donaire?

                but you can be good and skilled and throw a little bit more than the 15 punches a round rigo does

                  Who do you suggest they matchup Rigo with that's available at 122 and is willing to fight him?

                    Evidence for predicting the future?

                    It's their choice and they have every right to exercise it. Is it fair? Not really, but thats how it works
