Rigo breaks GGG's HBO ratings record

[onechance87]

The lack of promotion made the people who had already paid for tickets walk out of the arena.

Damn lol....................

[MODAPHUKA]

Yes but he wasn't a guy that anybody could take seriously. No one picked Agbeko to win this one. He was taken off the street as a stay busy opponent because the other big name fighters are cowards.

I can imagine. Everyone is so scared to lose a fight by points.

[marvelousmatt]

It had nothing to do with his performances, it was awful match making and lack of promotion. They picked up Agbeko out of nowhere because the big names guys are frightened to step into the ring with the boxing god.

What I find funny about the whole thing is despite the lack of promotion involved, and despite him facing a completely overmatched opponent, he still did better than those Showtime bouts LOL.

Next time put Rigo in with someone with a big name and I guarantee over 1M.

Rigo couldn't do 1M if he was fighting Tyson & Ali in the same night.

ESPN "the Ocho" won't even carry him now. He couldn't sell out a phone booth.He had less viewers then his undercard fight & the crowd walked out before & during his fight !

Truth is truth..it's called Prize Fighting.

He is a highly skilled fighter who generates zero excitement, takes little/no chances,doesn't speak English, has little competion at 122 lbs.& doesn't talk ****e.

These are recipes for failure as an entertainer or boxer who makes the big $$$.

I can't lie. I like rigo and I turned the fight off after around round 5. Agbeko didn't really want to fight.

We all cant deny rigo in terms of boxing skills and finesse, but the problem is he dont sell fights coz he is boring as ****.

I am not belittling him as a boxer but rigo should be taken away from main event cards. Try to sell him on friday night fights to create viewership for him.

Provo started fnf, rigo could go to it.

GGG previously had the lowest rated show with 600klk, now he's pulling 1.5 million.

I can't help but think Rigo was set up to fail by making this head to head with Showtime. It's a bad break for him either way.

I think he wasn't set up to fail, but setted up to wake up that his style does not sell.

The amount that hbo is paying him is totally bigger than ggg, yet ggg produces blockbuster rating. Rigo is a bad investment for hbo.

No personality, no opposition, no fan friendly style, no fanbase, and not even a country to back him. No doubt he's in Floyd's league but man he's not going to be making millions. I guess this proves "skills pay the bills" is not entirely true.
