Rigondeaux vs HBO

[damit305]

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

Will the subscribers be entertained in Rigondeaux's next fight? How do we know they will or not?

Maybe HBO believes that Donaire deserves more credit for the card's success, which wouldn't be far-fetched seeing as how Nonito is actually the bigger name.

Like any good counter-puncher, Rigo decreases his opponent's output and makes them gun-shy. There are very few who are gonna engage 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

So why is it evident that he will not do well in the future? Surely HBO doesn't know this.

HBO doesn't like me

First floyd, then broner and now rigo. HBO says, boring and coward boxers, KEEP OUT!!

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?

Cause of all the booing in the Rigondo/ Donaire fight

Nobody knows this, because nobody can predict the future, but they probably think it will. Rigo has no fan base or interest around him

There has plenty times an underdog has pulled a major upset on a huge TV network. Why the scrutiny behind Rigondeaux?

maybe HBO does focus groups? who knows what their methods are, but the conclusion is that Rigondo won't entertain their subscribers

cause the way Rigondo did it was unentertaining

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

In a perfect world TR and GB get along. In a realistic world Rigondeuax beats the lights out of LSC and AM @ 122. Surely Mares can make his way back down to 122 no?
