HBO aired Floyds fights for years, why not Rigos?

Let's be realistic here and most importantly honest. I'm not taking anything from Donaire, in fact I like Donaire, but I'm sure given his opposition, Rigo could have scored some good KOs with people in Donaires resume. We have to blame his promoter because his job believe it or not is to promote fighters. Rigo's high profile fights? Which one, Donaire's? If master boxing bores you then I don't know what to tell you.

In his world standing in front of Manny or Nonito and not using any boxing skill to win is applauded but boxing and moving, feinting, jabbing is running and pot shotting because manny nor nonito have developed the basic skill to deal with these things.

comparing rigondeaux to mayorga is equally silly.

Not in the sense that they can be interpreted the same way they did it with Mayorga. I'm not comparing their trash talk, if your reading comprehension was above grade school level you would have understood that I was referring to the way the lack of english isn't an impediment to trash talk. There are many youtube videos and even espn has some videos of Rigondeaux where his interviews are subtitled.

I've always liked Floyd's style. What I don't understand is how HBO wants to show Andre wards fights but doesn't want anything to do with Rigondeuax. ****ing ****** if u ask me.

Other than the language barrier I tend to agree.

I was just curious if anyone has any idea as to why HBO refused (although ive heard they are close to reaching an agreement) to air anymore of Guillermo Rigondeaux's fights. I know to an uneducated boxing fan who has no appreciation of the sweet science it may be boring to watch. But to people who like to watch a master of the sport at his best then I don't think there is another fighter today who can put on a boxing display like Rigo. If HBO's argument is that he's too defensive minded to be an attraction then look no further than Floyd Mayweather. Hes the biggest ppv or 2nd biggest im not exactly sure of REAL numbers and hes a defensive master. So why not allow Rigo to make the kind of money that he deserves bc as I said before he is UNREAL when it comes to the science and I for one feel lucky to be able to watch such a master at work.

Good god...not another boxing hipster.

TR are a disgrace for not insisting that HBO back Rigo. Whether you like to watch the guy or not, he has earnt his stripes and deserves the network to get behind him. He has only had a dozen fights for crying out loud and has just beaten one of the best fighters in the world in a fight he was expected to lose....and he won it well! If he gets his chance and then proceeds to bore the **** out of all the viewers to the point where they switch off, then drop him, but at least give the guy the chance he has earned and richly deserves.
