Comments Thread For: Photos: Rigondeaux is Honored Before 10,000 in Florida

Why are people acting like all the people were there to see him, it clearly states it was a concert

because people are desperate for the real boxers to be honored !! people are frustrated to see people with no talents or values being pushed to the limelight by unknown forces , there is someone called Broner whose only talent is being American and he is claimed as one of the best 10 boxers in the world by some crazy fanatics !

Great to see Rigo and Willie Chirino greet each other. This was at the Hialeah Park race track.
Many childhood memories, I grew up next to this place.
A historical site in South Florida, finally reopened.

Testing the waters for the Cuban market in Florida about time hopefully people stop holding that b/s about not supporting our boxers for politics doesn't matter if the guy got all his skills thanks to Castro and won him medals. He was almost a slave boxer he is here now and deserves the Cuban community support if only they would get their head out of their ass.

they thought rigo is a cuban rapper or something

Rigo can rap as well

Good to see a legend getting the praise he deserves

Rigondeaux should Fight in miami and HBO and Bob Arum need to acknowledge that if he can draw a crowd of 10,000 in a location, It is time for Top Rank and HBO to stop being butt hurt and start promoting this man.

Wait.... but.... nobody likes him though....why are they there?

10,000 people just to see him get an award! just imagine how many would come see him fight!!!! rigo is the king

You guys need some reading comprehension lessons, people came for the concert, they didn't know Rigondeaux would be there.

I was going to go to this. They mentioned Rigo would be receiving his Ring award at the event but I got caught up. Nice to see the good turnout.

Good exposure for the unified lineal champion, top 10 pound for pound fighter in the world in only 12 fights.

Cool, but will those 10,000 pay to see him fight?

I was going to go on a rant until I saw Willy Chirino was presenting him the award while holding his guitar. Fok!! However the Miami market has to be explored
