Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux vs. Agbeko To Top HBO Card on 12/7 in AC

It's about time! I'll be looking forward with some nice ice cold ones while watching Rigo put on master show of the sweet science! I cannot wait....

You'll be asleep after two beers.

A thousand people at a willy colon concert is not marketing..i'm sorry let's see 1 plus million viewers watching the cotto fight or a thousand at a willy colon concert. Rigo's handlers are trash at marketing. He isn't present at enough LARGE SCALE events. Being put in front of your already supporting crowd does not count as expanding your name and brand. This is why you saw Quillin hamming it up with his belt at the Canelo vs Mayweather weight in and he got people talking..that's the difference in viable marketing. The network cannot be the only source of promotion for you either.

if rigondeaux was with al haymon , he would've made millions and be a TV fix . He is much better boxer than mayweather jr.

I doubt it but ok...just because they toss you on someone's ppv does not automatically grow you a fanbase...those fighters under Haymon aren't depending on him exclusively they are out there where there are cameras and reporters.

It will never happen. Arum already has Donaire/Darchinyan III and IV penciled in and a fight between Donaire/Kiko sandwiched between them. This may be Rigondeaux's last appearance on television unless he leaves Arum and signs with another promoter. If you don't believe me, ask yourself when was the last time you heard from Zahir Raheem. He is the guy who beat Erik Morales before Morales fought Pacquaio for the second time (a fight Arum already had scheduled before the Raheem/Morales fight).

That's a dumb comparison. It would work if Rigo lost his next fight (ATG unwatchable), never won a title, and got ragdolled in South Africa.

This is some bulls**t! Hbo think they're slick. There putting this fight on the same night that Paulie and Zab is fighting. The ratings will suffer because a lot more people will be watching Zab vs Paulie. That will be Hbo excuse to not televise anymore of Rigondeaux fights. They'll say nobody wants to watch him the ratings are poor. Rigo should jump ship as soon as his contract is up!

Man I was all hyped about this fight until you reminded me about the Zab fight on the same day. Friggin Arum

Rigo needs to jump to another promoter asap.

[PeterNeversoft]

Rigodeaux needs a good performance. Not going to be easy against Agbeko.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Whoa this got signed. So thrilled for Rigo. Getting another big stage to show his skills.

[Pacdbest]

Now show me Rigo how much tickets you can sell!

Man I didn't think anybody remembered Raheem. I brought him up a few months back in a post. TV didn't really work out for him.

Great news.

i didn't see agbeko's last fight. it was in ghana, so i'm sure i'm not alone in not seeing it.


rigotards will pump this opponent up, but it's not a great opponent at all. agbeko is all but retired. rigondeaux gets a full pass, obviously, as the guy is the most avoided fighter in boxing not named gennady golovkin.

Who is there for him to fight? Anyone besides Donaire is a downgrade obviously. Hell, even a Donaire rematch is a downgrade in my book.
