Comments Thread For: Arum: I Want Rigondeaux To Be More Fan-Friendly

[richardt]

Ok so I have a low iq because I don't agree with your "opinion"...whatever you say moron

You fool, my opinion was not what you originally quoted. You quoted my analysis of HBO/Arum situation and why Rigo was shunned and you ranted on like that was what I personally believed. I will spell it out for you: My opinion is that HBO should have put Rigo right back on against a top fighter after his dominating victory over Donaire. My analysis is that HBO shunned him for a reason and I outlined the possible reasons.
Get it? Got it? GOOD!

I love watching "El Chacal", but even I can admit that he goes into unnecessary lulls sometimes. Rigo can turn it up a notch. We've seen him do it. But it's tough to ask him to do that against a guy like Donaire, where he can be sparked looking to entertain the crowd. Guille will only take chances versus easier prey. He's not going to take big chances versus top opposition, and I don't blame him.

I totally agree. There is a fine line between doing what you do best and entertaining in a manner that the fans want to see and taking an unneeded risk. I think there is a middle ground that entertains and maintains tight defense. I'm looking forward to Rigo's next fight. He belongs in the top 10 PFP. He proved that.

How many people read Arum's statements? Couple of hundred, 95% hard core fans that have a pretty good idea about both Rigo and Arum. His *****ing is to put some pressure on Rigo to please the network anyway he can, whether more exciting fights or smaller purses, his pick

It's not the first comment, there's a video on youtube where he says the only way Rigondeaux would become a star is if Fidel Castro co-promotes. All these statements are out there on the web, anybody who searches rigondeaux on google can find them, is that a good way to promote your fighter? And then Lampley is gonna repeat that **** on fight game.

You wanna tell your fighter to be more exciting? Then tell him in private, don't diss him publicly.

Calling him out in public at least gets people talking about him. Better that people are outraged on behalf of Rigondeaux than not talking about him at all.

After he beat Donaire there was only one fight with Rigo in it that people were talking about, and that was a Donaire rematch. And once that fight wasn't going to happen there was no buzz for his next fight.

At least with Arum's comments he's stirred up some interest in what will happen to Rigo's career. Guaranteed HBO heard from a lot more people wanting to see Rigo after Arum started speaking.

What I originally quoted you on was the fact you said Rigo got booed against Ramos! What I then stated was the obvious in that Rigo knocked him out!! So if you want to continue to call me a fool and insult me then go fcuk yourself

I stated a fact that he got booed as a reason to explain why HBO might have shunned him, and you went off all butthurt instead of realizing that I didn't subscribe to the reason why HBO/Arum acted like they did, I pointed out one of two cases where that may have lead to their displeasure. Leave it at that.

Its not gonna happen. Its like telling Mayweather, Lara, Broner or Bradley to be fan friendly. Its nit gonna happen, period.

This would have been the normal way... But I suspect they walked that way.
I think Rigo is trapped there with TopRank.
