HBO Sports President Talks Rigondeaux

[torosboxing75]

That sucks.

When you get to the point where you can beat anyone in the world, and it still isn't good enough.

Either way, just keep winning.

That's a good way to put it. That sounds like it should be on a poster or something.

Way to go hbo. Did that guy forget Andre Berto made a home beating bums on that network? I didn't. They can't fool me. I remember everything.

That's true but different person at the top now. Plus that was Al Haymon doing the job.

If you want to talk about conspiracies about wanting to make a Cuban fighter look bad in boring fights, Scheafer is the guy who said "Who would want to see Erislandy Lara against Austin Trout? That wouldn't be an exciting fight.", before making the fight.

My only disappointment with Rigondeaux is that he's not big enough to fight Floyd...Rigondeaux's probably the P4P champion.

And Scheafer was right, that fight blows. This thread isn't about El Chacal ability...he is a great boxer, he is also boring as all and hard to stay awoke for. Fans changed the channel on him in droves.


Money and Son of God never make me the channel, El Chacal must blame himself, not HBO

What did you expect the guy puts viewers to sleep.

Too defensive for his own good.

People want to see fighting...they don't want you to wait for an opponent to throw a punch at you, for you to throw one back.

bye bye Rigo you wont be missed.

That could be good for ratings really, if everybody falls asleep while watching the fight HBO will be running for hours on their tv afterwards lol.

DoktorSleepless, most underrated poster. you continue to drops facts and make these hoes look ****** and biased (and I'm pretty sure you've corrected me as well lol)

Rigo is a great fighter, but he should've done more with Agbeko. The truth ain't always sweet. Agbeko is to blame as well and HBO should consider this. Everyone thought Agbeko would attack Rigo (except for Kev apparently, bull****) and make it an interesting fight, but he didn't, he was scared all night.

[Tom Cruise]

Guillermo 'el chacal' Rigondeaux vs 'Fat' Dan Rafael would bring in great ratings. Make it happen, Arum.

[El Angel]

Sucks, but you can't hate HBO for making a business decision. I hope at some point Rigo can get back on and we can all see his fights, but until then I'll have to find them online.

[Russian Crushin]

Why are people arguing like HBO owes rigo anything? He just posted the lowest ratings ever, after his best win against the most popular lower weight fighter.

HBO is not the only provider to show boxing, in fact they probably show .01% of all fights. Why doesn't rigo show them who's who and fight some where else? Oh that's right he can't unless he wants to make 1/10th of what HBO pays him on some random channel
