Rigo breaks GGG's HBO ratings record

[marvelousmatt]

550K people that will never watch boxing again...thank, Rigo

No worries Mak. Almost all of the people that "watched" the Rigo fight tivo'd it !!! I switched over to watch...gulp...the thriller between Paulie & Zab. That fight was Foreman vs Lyle all over again,compared to Rigo's "big night."

The Tapia vs Kirkland fight was excellent as was Bika vs Direll. I even liked the style match-up between Lara & Trout, though it wasn't a good fight either. I'm not a Lara fan,but I can at least watch him.All the others were even mildly entertaining...okay... I love boxing.

He is an under-undercard fighter with great skills who takes zero chances and paws the whole fight.Not good recipe for tv or for me to buy tickets to go see. Its not a Cuban thing either as I love Gamboa & Mike Perez.

Back to the undercards for Rigo... must say his negotiating team just robbed the bank with the deal they arranged with Top Rank.

LOL... didn't you see how the arena was completely empty with the few people there on their cellphones for the Rigo fight yet full and people jumping and **** for the Kirkland/Tapia bout.

Fact is, Rigo is boring and no on likes that style except the 13 purists on this site.

^^^^^^^^^^
this right here!

take away Lara-Trout and Rigo-Agbeko and we have a great night of entertaining boxing

A guy about to jump off a building attracts a bigger crowd. Possibly even more PPV buys too.

To put it in perspective going on that shot for Rigos fight...When I attended the pro debut of the Bey brothers, a womans HW match, and Santos....in cleveland... there was a bigger crowd than there was for Rigo.

I guess a chance to meet RJJ, see an 8-0 andre ward, and watch the Beys debut is more appealing than the greatest amateur of all time eh?

Well at least Rigo has 550 thousand fans because NOBODY who wasn't a fan of Rigo stayed watching that **** Agbeko was traumatized RIgondeaux shouldnt be el chacal he should be the traumatizer Agbeko was scared ****less but butthurts will blame Rigo.

Malignaggi/Judah was awful, if not worse.

550,000 thousand people stayed to watch Rigo and only for Rigo because bet you everything nobody was watching Agbeko or if they where a fan at the beginning sure as fk werent one by the end. Roger will be the first one to tell yo Agbeko didnt do **** yet Rigo is the boring one throwing 800 punches at a fking clottey impersonator only way he was going to get him down is if he broke his leg.

Lmapley right at the end of the fight:Agbeko does largely nothing for 12 rounds... Rigondeaux puts him in the position of doing nothing because he does WHAT HE WANTS FOR 12 ROUNDS.

Ward in the 7th round: I think Rigondeaux can do whatever he wants to do right now. I think he's got the mind of Agbeko , his body is breaking down , I like those straight left to the body , to the mid section he was landing. If he wants to step it up and stop Agbeko , rather than the corner or ref stopping it or possibly catching him with a big shot he doesnt see HE CAN DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

The blame goes both ways.

The way I see it , Agbeko could have done more. Resulting in him getting KTFO. And Rigo could have stepped it up , resulting in him knocking Agbeko out cold or forcing a stoppage.
