Maybe if he could speak English
Could Rigo sell out Arenas in Miami area?

English is NOT the 1st Language in Miami lol...Him not speaking English has nothing to do with him selling a fight. Popularity does. I know Cubans in Miami that are your casual fans of the sport and dont know who he is. He has a way to go before being a sell out and also a PPV star.Comment

Let me know if you go to the next card, I'll link up with you guys. I can't remember if it was you, Cuban, or another one of the Rigo supporters, but did you have a connect in Rigo's camp?
I just remember somebody in one of these threads was getting updates from team members about his camp leading up to the Donaire fight.
That, too. Which is unfortunate because he deserves to get paid very well and dude is a starving artist.
It was a great time, D. The promotion was for shit, but the venue held a very reasonable turnout. As we discussed that night, there's no doubt a well-promoted card featuring Rigo and some decent supporting players would sell out a place like the Amercican Airlines Arena. No problem. If a barely promoted Barthelemy fight did that kind of turnout, Rigo and perhaps Gamboa or Lara would do three times those numbers.Comment

If there's a good card in Miami, PM me or damit, we'll probably be there. There's always room for another true fight fan in our little clique. Cuauhtémoc1520 was supposed to meet up with us last time, but he was unable to make it.

Dale man for sure, we'll stay in touch.Comment

If he would top rank would have done it a long time ago. Rigo just doesn't have a fan friendly style. Why the hell would top rank not make money.
He is one of the best pure boxers ever but he's just not TV or a main event material. Which is unfair.Last edited by TRTboy; 10-19-2014, 08:37 PM.Comment

There was little to no promotional effort put into the Barthelemy v Mendez 2 event! We reimbursed you for the tickets but I remember JSFD going nuts looking online as to when the tickets went on sale a week bf the fight-- no clarity, a complete promotional disaster and it still managed to sell well!
You gotta love the myths you hear around here! It's hilarious "Cubans don't sell in Miami" derp a derp. Hear-say is a bitch.Comment
