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

[marvelousmatt]

Right right right whatever you say man. Guy has 12 wins 8 KO's if he would of fought Vasquez jr., Mathebula, Nishioka and Arce he would of been 16 wins 12 KO's. Rigo made Donaire look like a chump that he is. Nonito "P4P excuse maker" Donaire is fighting Darchiniyan after all these years since he needs to restart he old midget tour to be Mr. Fan Friendly.

I swear if Rigo was ***ish, things will be very different even if he was 12-0 with 0 KO's we will see him on HBO AKA BOBTV. Boxing turning into a race sport if your not a Mexican,Filipino or Puerto Rican your not being on HBO/Top Rank

BTW Rigo will murder both Mares and Santa Cruz. 2 KO's easily

All of that may be true except the Sata Cruz and Mares parts.Rigo would get smashed. But it doesn't change the fact that he is a promoter's nightmare.

He has a boring style and doesn't help sell himself,one bit !!

He does not speak English,has a boring style,can't draw, has no controversies, no great opponents at 118-122 with TOP RANK, doen't help hype fights, doesn't talk ****, is glass-jawed, and just isn't that good.

Compare him to his Olympic teammate ...Gamboa and his style for 1 minute.

Everyone has an opponent that they want Gamboa to fight.He is great tv.

Ultimately it is Dirty Bob's job to promote the fighters that you promote though.

Rigo just made a big mistake. Arum is a devil and assholes but he is still not yet on level of Pac or Floyd to go with his own. He needs a promoter like Arum to build his name. He probably still under contract with Arum he just pissed him off. He is not going anywhere and he is not getting any younger. Probably Arum will just put him to the sideline until the end of his contract, by then he was already old. What he needs to do is to change his style and be exciting to watch. As simple as that.

Fucking, ay, Rigo!

I'm glad Guillermo is coming out and saying these things publicly. This is all just bullshit. If Arum can't get "El Chacal" fights, or just doesn't want to, let the man go! What's the problem?

Top Rank doesn't want anyone else to make $$$ with Rigo - scurvy *****es :~{

Rigo should really go to Mayweather Promotions because that's guaranteed $$$ via the Showtime k and he already has a good relationship with the Mayweather family who knows how to promote his style of boxing but can add more marketability to his image

[Devils Advocate]

Rigo needs to go to GB! **** arum and then we can get mares rigo!

Golden Boy has taken over boxing!!

[hitman smax]

Rigondeaux is boring, plain and simple. No sense hating anyone else because of that. It's not HBO or Arum's fault.

In fact, HBO and Arum would prefer that Rigodeaux were an exciting fighter because that would be money in the bank and ratings for them.

Instead, he's cowardly and boring, and that just doesn't sell.

Please tell me if Rigo is "not that good", then who is?

Honestly not a lot below 126 lbs.
Rigo has no one between 118-122 at Top Rank either.Dirty Bob will not allow another Donaire fight.

He needs to move to 126 and fight Gracia,Chris John, or Mares.Then all of his fanboys can see how "good" that he really is. Frampton is 2-3 years away at 122 and Santa Cruz is with GBP. So, he has really nobody at 118-122. Mares would be hard too as he is with GBP.

Rigo is in the same spot as Peter Quillin.He is with the wrong promotional company for his weight class. Rigo with GBP would have 3-4 big fights as they cashed out on him as he isn't that good. We may not know how good Kid Chocalte is as almost all the big-time MW are associated with HBO.

I saw Rigo fight many times as an amateur and that is is style in the pros. He KO'd 6 taxi drivers ,2 good B/B+ level guys and lost to Cordoba. He shoild be 11-1 with a marquee win over Donaire and still more questions than answers about his career.

While I agree with Rigondo about the disrespect, I agree with Arum about Rigondo being hard to promote. Even GBP would have a tough time promoting Rigondo
