Rigondeaux banned from HBO

[joesaiditstrue]

Sad indeed.

He's too good for his own good. I can say the same about all pro cuban talent.

you don't need to be the best boxer in the world to be successful in the sport, you need to be entertaining

surprised people still haven't figured this out yet

If you really want to be seen on TV, go to one of Rigo's fights, it wont be hard to get some air time and get noticed...



Show up to that M@ther***er in a Spidy suit.

His contract is up in July. He's manager Gary Hyde needs to start talking with Richard Schaefer.

Is that your last fan standing?

You must be fearing for your own kind. Rigo keeps them ducking lmao.

[Mr Randy Watson]

I dont see whats so boring about rigos style. I think the klits , carlos molina, ishe smith, and devon alexander are the most boring fighters out there.

[junior gong]

Rigondeaux is bad for business. Karceno's sources usually legit.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Eddie Hearn should get on the phone to Rigo's people asap, his deal is expiring and Hearn knows how to promote guys.

I'm pretty sure one of the world best fighters can be a good attraction in the UK.

I don't get why people are mad about this. Boxing is an art and all, but at the end of the day to these networks, its a business and its all about entertainment. The man has ZERO entertainment value. The guy has fans leaving the arena during his fights. He takes no chances, throws about 12 punches a round, is constantly on his back foot, doesn't talk a lick of trash, and gets incredibly low ratings. Why would a network want to keep showing him? If he was on Showtime, Showtime would of done the same exact thing.

[New England]

You're being female man! There's other ways to watch this ****. Lol

But like I said, I don't care. Rigo will be on TV again. Whether it's ESPN, Showtime, Telemundo or Univision.

it would be one of the saddest things i've seen in boxing, but if rigondeaux can only get on ESPN or spanish TV, he will retire. those fights don't pay enough to even run a world class training camp. if they can't take those fights with the promise of networks fights as a payout, he'll retire. i can't see why going to ESPN would get him back on a network, so i'm guessing that it would spell the end.

ESPN main events, for example, usually split 10 grand. the biggest fights might get a bit more, but that's only for huge ESPN fights like peterson - holt, where the winner gets back on major networks for a six figure payday. i'm not sure about telemundo, etc, but i can't imagine that they're working with a ton of money. they also cater to a primarily mexican audience.
