boxing is an entertainment sports.
Boxing already had enough coward and boring fighter in floyd. Rigo to add the burden, would kill the sports we love most.

1. Rigo's style isn't entertaining/accessible to the casual viewer.
2. He doesn't have a fan-base that HBO/Arum can take advantage of.
3. He fights in a division that rarely gets HBO coverage, and has few notable opponents.
I think Arum should put Rigo on Pac's under-card, or put Rigo and Donaire on the same card, Donaire/Darchinyan and Rigo/Montiel.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostI don't know if it was a sellout, but the place was packed. The greatest number of attendees were Filipino, but Rigo definitely had a few partisan supporters there. No doubt, most of those Cubans flew or drove into town to back their boy. I would bet that a Rigondeaux-based card in Miami would do well.
Unfortunately, I don't think the Big Guys want to consider moving operations down here due to falsified rumors.
