    People on here are so pathetic.

    OMG HE CALLED FLOYD BORING RACIST RACIST RACIST.

    ****ing f*ggots.

    Here's the thing, they're all boring fighters. But TC makes a good point. A Floyd Mayweather fight sells massive tickets and PPV. Rigo struggles to sell 50 tickets. Why?

    If Rigo joined TMT, would he sell 1m+ PPV?

      I wouldn't say Floyd or Ward is very loved lol but Rigo and Lara are more entertaining for me because of their power coupled with their skill. Floyd at least has an excuse. he's in his 5th weight class or whatever and was knocking guys out in his natural weight class but Ward is just straight boring. You couldnt pay me a million dollars to watch Ward.

        Compare and contrast the following articles by Kevin Iole, a respected member of the boxing media.

        He spends the first saying Rigo should basically retire cuz' he's unwatchable for a fight against an opponent who came to avoid fighting.

        The television ratings dropped massively from the co-main event to the main event. Fans streamed out of their seats by the time the second round of the main event had ended. Media lambasted the fight. Industry people called it unwatchable. … Continue reading →


        Compare it to him slobbering over a 12 round pattycake fest between Floyd and a cherrypicked Canelo who was too inexeperienced for the top level.

        Rigo is bad, but Floyd is 'magnificent'... Both fights were boring 12 round snorefests. I think I've made my point.



        Edit:
        For the record. I had Canelo/Floyd pretty much a close fight cuz' nobody did anything. Floyd landed some jabs here and there but for the most part it was a garbage fight suckers paid 70 dollars for.

        If you don't boycott Floyd after that, you're part of the problem.

          The same reason no one likes Devon Alexander... Lara and Rigo also happen to not be american, so... If they dont like B Hop or Ward why would they adopt Rigo and Lara? Floyd is well known, but not quite beloved.

            they are no where, NO WHERE near as boring as lara or rigo

            there is not one fight in floyds 45 fights that is as boring as lara vs trout or rigo vs agbeko/addy

            dont know about that in wards entire career, but none of which i have actually witnessed

            floyd and ward have true skill, they are multi-dimensional boxers, this is what you should be in awe watching

            not some one-dimensional, strict counter-punchers who can't do anything themselves

              I love Rigo and Lara's skills but i'm not gonna lie. I enjoy watching Money rip someone outside of the ring. Or seeing him show up to an award show with the Money Crew and decked out. Rigo and Lara not speaking Enlgish kinda bothers me. Idk their personalities or who their favorite artist is right now. I've never seen them enjoying themselves at a club or ever talk smack to someone.

              Say what you want about The Problem but we knew he listens to Ken**** Lamar, we know exactly how he feels about a person or subject. We know his personality.

              We have no idea wtf Rigo is about ouside the ring

                    Rigondeaux and Lara are cursed for being cubans, thats all. BTW, Rigondeaux could beat Lara, Mayweather and Ward (P4P talking).

                      Rigo has no personality. AB and Floyd have both spit some rhymes, they go clubbing they know Rick Ross, Drake, 50, Waka Flocka, Kendrick Lamar. Rigo just sits at home speaking spanish. Who wants to see that? I love his skills but he needs to learn some damn English and sell himself a little better. On IG we see AB and Floyd always hosting clubs. I'm just saying, they need to step there game up
