Rigondeaux/HBO saga is BS

[SplitSecond]

if they are considering rigondeaux it's because they've found a matchup that will sell, or bob is persuading them that it will

like with klitschko who they dont give a crap about until they fight someone people care about(haye fight for example was bought)

you can't just buy any rigondeaux fight, because he doesn't bring in fans himself, so they need either an opponent with fans, or a highly intriguing match-up

hbo had the cardoba fight that rigo ran in, and then the donaire fight that rigo didn't throw, they are doing him a favor, because even against a top fighter, there's the chance rigo will just cause a bore-fest with no punches thrown

if no opponents, back to undercards

[M.I Truth ?]

Ward isn't a thriller, yet still is moreso than Rigo, and by far
not getting this thread dude, boring is boring
nobody is saying Rigo's not world class or not a legit champ
they're saying he's fucking BORING, and they're right
he can put on an exciting performance? great let's see him do it
when he does, he'll get both the respect and the love from everybody
until then? respect his skills, but fuck him, he's not entertaining

Like I said Ward is one of the guys I respect heavily in the game. I have paid money to see that man fight and even told him after the Froch fight how much I respect him. That said Ward has had more pro fights but on average I would say both guys can turn some casuals off. The point of the thread is that you rarely see a guy coming off a win over one of the top 5 guys in the world having problems getting a network fight. The timing also makes it questionable. I would kind of understand if it was after beating marroquin. But its after beating Donaire. Before Marroquin he fought Kennedy and listen to what Jim says at 21:43 . After the biggest win of his career Jim changes his tune on the fight game. I think Max at times is just as perplexed as me cause he seems to be taking up for Rigo on the broadcast.
