    I don't know about headlining events but what he does with his money is his business. I can see him as a strong opener for big pay per views, and when it comes down to his overall pull I'll concede. He shouldn't be demanding more than he's worth. For Lampley to taunt Rigo is tasteless and unprofessional however. That is something for Bob Arum to work out with his fighter.

      It went from 5 to 10 so quickly? lol. It's obvious you're in the 5-10 range.

      Clearly you love El Chacal.

        Lampley has a big ego.

          Ego is a part of it. There is more to it.

            Not really. It's not the exact opposite even a lot of hardcore fans like myself don't really have interest in seeing him fight. It's boring...plain and simple. I admire what he does, think he's highly skilled...that said though I don't care to watch it. Rigo doesn't entertain with his skills...he fights scared for the most part and that's the one thing I dislike. You can lump all the "slick" fighters together but most of them take chances when they severely outclass their opponents...they do something, anything. Rigo doesn't do that. He's happy to play amateur and coast non stop. I don't really have an interest in watching him fight at least in a main event. Throw him as a starter fight on the undercard maybe I'll leave the tv on but don't hinge the entire event on him headlining...it's not pleasant.
            I believe you guys when you say you find him boring. Every thread on Rigo, no matter the subtopic, you've been in there taking people on drilling home the message. Over and over. Thread after thread.

            All power to you.

            You're taking it a step too far when you try to speak for others obviously.

For those who have seen his most recent broadcasts you'll know what I'm talking about. Based on what I've seen that is a complete LIE. HBO has an agenda to get rid of Rigondeaux and now they're using us to try and help this agenda. Do want to see Rigondeaux fight on TV and will you continue to support his career?
              Lampley is a liar and out of his tree. Rigo is elite, and would ruin many "future stars" in boxing out there, and us, the real fans want to see him. The casuals, of course they don't know.

                Rigo is kinda scary. Who can compete?

                  Where else would you expect to get a feel for what hardcore boxing fans think than on a boxing forum?

                    He needs the right opponent to make him look good. Not an Agbeko who lands only 2 punches a round.

                      I think people should have their own opinion based on what they like and not what somebody else is telling them to like or dislike. I'm not a fan of Rigo's style because I find it very boring to watch but my opinion is not based on anybody else's comments. Rigo does seem humble and is probably a likeable little guy outside the ring too so I wish him the best. But as far watching him fight, I wouldn't really mind if I never watched him fight again specially on the two channels that I pay extra money for. But that's just my opinion, everybody is different and everybody has the right to their own opinion.
