    Rigo in Hialeah Park is the best location as long as they don't use the same setup they use in the boxing cards at Magic City Casino.
    Hialeah Park seems promising for Rigo.

    Not sure how the 'setup' would be given the lone seating side between the track and the seats, which still holds plenty.

      I think Miami is where they need to locate him and I think he could do just fine there if promoted and priced properly. Sell out arenas though I don't know probably depends on the fight.

      Another good thing about doing fights in Florida is a good tax structure both for Rigondeaux and Arum. Plus people will go to Miami to see a fight from outside the area, it is not like going to Detroit in winter time.

        He probably could as a result of his recent outside of the ring appearances. But the casuals, who pay the bulk of the bills, might get disappointed.

          Weather would never be an issue my friend.

          I remember there being a card held outdoors at La Covacha, a night club in Miami. If memory serves right, Yunier Dorticos was part of the card.

            The main event was Ed Paredes vs Joey Hernandez their first fight. It was a good card and great atmosphere since it was in la covacha where there are nothing but fresh Colombian,Venezuelan and Cuban women ready to get drunk, dance and took

              Get him to fight every month, against some bums and build up an impressive record and following.
              How has that worked out for Deontay Wilder and his Alabama audiences? Serious question - has he had any recent bouts in AL or MS?

                I would think he can get a good crowd in Miami with all the Cubanos down there.

                  $50 isn't that bad bro. I mean, $50 for the nose bleeds section sucks but if its a decent seat, I think that's do able.

                    Good first fight. In the rematch Twinkle got beat up pretty bad by Paredes.
