    We don't accept what? Of course he was more accurate than Donaire and got the W, but that doesn't stop him from being one of the most boring professional boxers in history.

    Will they love him because he said he won't go up just 4 lbs and isn't changing his style for the fans?

      I don't understand how you think he's boring? This dude has dropped professionals like flies and he had Donaire in the 12th at his last will. Rigo is the real deal but Arum threw him under the bus because he had a big Radio City Music Hall site and didn't get the result he expected. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Arum is turning down every deal for a Rigo fight so he doesn't leave for another promoter, which Rigo should rightfully and I'm pretty much 99% sure will do after this. Arum is a punk and he was using Donaire as his next Pacman.

        You must be a fan of the 'entertainment' business. Rock em sock em sounds like your thing.
        When a fighter is willing to take on all comers and gets no feedback from these supposed warriors it's pretty sad. Surely you embrace this idea.

            He hasn't been a big draw at this point but it's Arum's job as a promoter when he beat a Top 10 P4P fighter to get him those fighters to get Rigo the exposure he needs. Arum did the same thing when Bradley won a controversial decision, I don't even want to know what Arum thought when Marquez demolished Pacman in their last fight.

                Rigo doesn't need to be a big draw nor does he need to be fan-friendly, he needs a promoter who is enthusiastic about working with him. Rigo/Martinez is a solid HBO WCB match-up, but if the promoter and network don't believe in Rigo, the fight will not happen. Look at how GGG's career is soaring by having K2 and HBO's full support. If HBO and TR jump to make Donaire/Kiko, that should make their agenda crystal clear.

                    Martinez is steering towards a Frampton rematch.

                    Eventually one of these 'fearless' warriors that is willing to balance money and fame will take on Rigo.

                      Well, it is HBO/TR's job to steer Kiko in Rigo's direction. He's only been on HBO once, it's not like they can say he's had consecutive bad performances or he's bad for ratings. How does someone beat a fighter of Nonito's caliber and then get thrown to the wayside? Give him a chance to prove himself. Anybody with boxing knowledge knew that the Donaire/Rigo style match-up was not gonna be entertaining for casual fans, so they shouldn't hold that against him. The fight had to happen, doesn't matter how boring it was gonna be. It happened, and now Rigo is getting the majority of the blame for how it played out.

                      Put Rigo in there with Kiko or with faded names like Montiel/Mijares so he can bulk his resume up.
