Didn't Arum promise Rigondeaux a set purse of $500K if he won his fight with Donaire? Why did Bob Arum even go through the trouble of RE-SIGNING Rigo to another contract with his company if he's so boring? If so, then that was Arum's own fault for making promises he can't keep towards his fighters. We ALL knew how Rigondeaux fought before he fought Donaire, so why are people NOW in an uproar about the way he fights!? Dude is just TOO GOOD FOR HIS OWN GOOD.
HBO and Top Rank were all under the impression that Rigondeaux had a "glass chin", and against an opponent like Nonito Donaire, he was supposedly destined to get KNOCKED OUT. Rigondeuax would've been the PERFECT catapult for Donaire's superstardom into not only the pound for pound rankings, but the regular mainstream audience as well. There would not have been a fighter in the lb for lb rankings that could say that they've knocked out a 2x Olympic gold medalist. Mayweather, Pacquiao, Marquez, Martinez, couldn't say something like that; but Donaire could say something along those lines if he defeated Rigondeaux.
I've NEVER seen a network and a promotional company that's trying to strong arm a fighter into doing what THEY want him to do. F**K that. Rigo is a grown a$$ man. Now they want the man to move up in weight to make it easier for his opposition, KNOWING that Rigo is a small bantamweight. People talk about Lomachanko and Rigondeaux... Let me guess, if Rigo can move up in weight for Loma, then he can do it for for Donaire too now right? Why isn't nobody saying s**t about Rigondeaux and Shiming tho? Why not? Zou Shiming is a 2x Olympic gold medalist right? What about Lomachenko and Yuriorkis Gamboa? We're STILL owed from Gamboa and Juanma Lopez falling through! Yuri had to make himself look bad by going up in weight and looking like a$$ for people to FINALLY call him out in the lower weight divisions.
And anybody here supporting this BULLSHIT are some damn hypocrites! When Floyd Mayweather Jr. CONSTANTLY tells ya'll that this is all about business, then ya'll accuse the man of ducking and cherrypicking. But WHEN Rigondeaux CALLS OUT the best fighters in BOTH the TR and GB stables, then ya'll call him a "boring" fighter that needs to market himself better. SMH!!
