Rigondeaux/HBO saga is BS

[M.I Truth ?]

I was thinking about this and HBO did ban the klitskos to because they are so boring so at least rigo isnt being singled out right?

The Bros also have the competition issue. Rigo fought and beat Donaire who hbo was very high on. The bros should be on HBO for certain marque fights. HBO bought Wlad vs Haye because its a marque fight. They should also buy Vit vs Stiverne since he has been on their airwaves recently. Also the Bros have there own network deals that are more important to them than HBO. Rigo doesn't have this as he fights in the US. If the Bros fought in the US in Vegas or somewhere were the network could broadcast live during prime time then I think we would see more of them. That wouldnt make sense for them since they are huge in Europe and have big network deals there. The Bros don't depend on US networks like someone in Rigo's situation.

why are people making such a big deal outta this?
Rigo is good, undefeated, a world champ, just beat a top fighter
but the bottom line is, the guy is boring as fuck
if you're boring, it doesn't matter how good you are, nobody cares
if HBO doesn't see $ signs with a guy, they're not gonna showcase him
if Rigo wants to keep winning, don't change a thing
if he wants to win and be a star, he better up the thrill factor

Exactly. He needs to create excitement like Bernard Hopkins and Andre Ward

Arums going to get Rigo a fight. Its in his contract where Arum has to get him a fight by November or Rigo can go else where. Cant say if it will be on HBO or not. Thats on HBO.

HBO probably low balled Arum so he went ahead and said those comments to put pressure on HBO to have him on the network with more $$$$ because the people started demanding it.

Another scenario is Rigo didn't like the offer Arum gave him so Arum started those rumors of HBO vomiting to get Rigo in line to the $$$ offered like "See you can't go anywhere else so take the $$$".

It's all politics imo.

neither of those guys are known as all around crowd pleasers
but they've both provided more excitement than Rigo has
Rigo just had his 1st big fight, and he stunk out the joint
he won clearly, but he failed to capture anybody's imagination
he's at a make or break point now that he's champ at 122
do something with it, or bore audiences in small ass auditoriums

BEAT ME TO IT. Both guys I admire that are no more exciting. It odd that a guy gets shunned after such a victory. Maybe before his last fight HBO could have pulled this but not after. The timing makes no sense and seems more like sour g****s.

And Devon Alexander got mad push too.

Rigo is Cuban, he doesn't speak English and he stopped the Donaire hype train which cost Arum and HBO a lot of money.

Devon Alexander got mad push from HBO and is getting dates with ShowTime

[ИATAS]

Has anyone from HBO publicly stated they don't want Rigondeaux? All I've heard is comments from bob arum and Rigo's manager responding to bob arum's statements.
