Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux To Arum: I Won't Accept Any More Disrespect!

[marvelousmatt]

Sergio on spot 3? Guy lost his last fight to Martin fuckin Murray for christ sake. Vitali? He's my favourite fighter but not one of his victory is as impressive as Donaire .

Bradley? He lost to Pacquiao, and arguably to FNF fighter in Provo.

I love GGG but he's not TOP 15. Not yet.

Mares is not in TOP 10 but Lucas Matthysse is

And Broner?

You call me crazy and than you post a list like this. Oh yeah you're a fuckin expert no doubt about that.

Are you really posting that Mares has a better resume than Matthyse ? Or that if they were the same weight that Mares would beat Matthyse ?| If so, I'll set you up with one of my friends who is a psychiatrist.



Bradley beat Alexander, has a "win" over Pacman, Abregu , Lamont Peterson,and is an undefeated champion with an excellent resume. A win over JMM brings him to the upper echelon of superstar status.

I love Mares but he hasn't fought anyone that good yet.

I just went to see GGG at Foxwoods and love the guy but he is building his resume right now. I have him #11.A Martinez vs GGG fight is building to Epic PPV.

Yup, Broner is a chump having won belts in 2 weight classes 12 lbs apart.


Martinez has wins over P4P Williams and P4P Pavlik. He destroyed Chavez who is a beast !!! He has 50 wins and hasn't lost since Paul Williams. He beat Martin Murray.I had him winning by 1 point (ref did not score a KD that was the difference in the fight.)

Vitali has unreal resume and either second or highest KO % of any HW champ.


You are either kidding about Matthyse's resume or need help right ?

Rigondeaux is no Mayweather

Rigondeaux is not Mayweather by any means but..

Let's keep an open mind here folks...

If Mayweather wins via 12 rd UD vs Canelo and is not 'very' exciting will Floyd get crucified by the media in the fashion Rigo did when derailing the Nonito train?

$40 million for pot-shotting for 12 rounds? Yes, he'll get heat.

40 mill to potshot your way to a UD sounds great.

Shouldn't a guy with similar talent which has just beaten a top 5 p4p fighter merit a small fraction of that?

No because Mayweather puts asses in arena seats and sells PPVs.

Yes he does. No doubt. Absolutely. No ones disagreeing with with you.

My point was, why isn't there any craze behind the majesty that Rigo brings............ IN...THE...RING?

Floyd is famous bc of his indisputable talent inside the squared circle, no?

Or is all the Money and fame due to the out of the ring antics and controversy?

Like Floyd likes to say "Mayweather is must watch tv. You got the guy that says tonight i'm going to pay. I want to see mayweather lose. Keep paying! You got the guy that says tonight i'm going to pay to see mayweather win. Keep paying! Love me or hate me your going to watch me. Love me or hate me your going to watch me!" Togo unfortunately doesn't have the following and it's not helping that his promoter is trashing him in the media that he's a boring fighter to watch. Styles makes fights. Get him good stylistic match ups and you'll see good fights. Arum has been playing the same card since bad in the day when he was with money! He's all about the mexican fan base. That's all he's looking to promote cause that's where the easy money is at! It was to much work building a fan base for mayweather when he had a cash cow like dlh! It's the same scenario now except you got a pinoy and some more mexicans in the mix. Boxing has become similar to WWE in many respects. Promoters are looking for entertainment. They give 2 ****s about skill. Maybe rigo can learn a thing or two from mayweather. Start talking a good game. Invest some of that money your making in yourself and start becoming a headliner at every media event known to man. Start calling people out. Show up in the middle of an interview the next time donaire or mares wins and ***** slap one of them. Learn to build up the fight and the fans will come. Call attention to yourself. This is what mayweather and ali knew how to do well. They learned the art of **** talking. They became their own promoter. This is something that needs to be taught to fighters nowadays. Nice guys finish last. If you want to make it big in this sport it's time to call yourself the bad guy. Love me or hate me your going to watch me! Love me or hate me your going to watch me!

Well, Floyd has shown excellence inside the ring as a professional for 17 years or so. But even he wasn't a big draw for the first part of his career.

Rigo had a great win his last time out but that was just one win. He needs to keep fighting and beating good opponents and eventually they won't be able to deny his greatness either.

Not a fair comparison. Floyd didnt' beat a top 5 p4p in under 12 fights.

That's great for Mayweather, sure. But not for most fans who pay his bills.

Logically, based on skill, Rigo now deserves to receive more money per fight than Donaire. But he's not a draw.
