    Side note: **** Bob Arum.

    Hopefully he ends up like Don King next.

      He's so un fan friendly and hard to watch that he won't release him from his contract?? Instead arum would rather talk ***** about him?? Just release him and u don't have to deal with him...let him go to GBP and get some real exposure and some real fights...I can't wait for arum to die and leave this sport...he's the worst aside from king

        you would think all the mayweather fans would want to watch rigondeaux, because like mayweather, rigondeaux is a master boxer. i think its a shame his own promoter is saying things like this when it is his job to promote him, not **** on him.

          He is the best boxer on the planet, but it seems like he's not making any effort to be marketable, then *****es when the suits don't give a crap about him.
          Donaire was literally running around the ring, trying not to get KTFO by Rigo in the last round of their fight. The Agbeko fight was different. Guille does hold back too much sometimes, but I've never seen such a big deal made of a fighter's style. Even Carlos Molina, with his ugly fighting, has no problem landing fights.

            Is it Rigo's fault that fighters shutdown against him? Bob is not going to put Lomo in there with him. Bob is Banking on Lomo to be his new cash cow. It like Bob saying he wanted to put Oscar in with Floyd. We all know that was the last thing he wanted to do. Bob should promote Rigo and stop bashing him. If he can't promote him, release him, point blank, period.

              Rigo is too good. He shuts them down and hurts them. The people Molina faces arent cared of his power or speed for that matter so they attempt to fight back. Thus making the fight have "more action."

                Molina doesn't headline anything, therefore doesn't seek headliner money.

                Rigo headlines and wants headliner money - I think this boils down to the fact that there is no positive return on investment when he headlines.

                It isn't easy to demote him to undercard status like others have said when the seeks/demands headline money.

                I don't understand why everyone says to let him go to gbp, they won't do a good job for him either. Schafer was taking ish about Lara, so they have a history of ****ting on their own fighters.

                Rigo just needs to take matters in his own hands, his constant coasting is what is hurting his career, not his promoter

                  Iv'e never wanted to harm someone i didn't know so badly. I feel like I could [but wouldn't] actually shoot Bob Arum right in his face and watch him die, and take ALL the repercussions (life sentence, death sentence) that come with it. That's how mad this racist *** piece of $h!t makes me feel. He clearly dislikes blacks and he wears it on his face. Why do more ppl not talk about the racial ramifications in all these Arum beefs as it's CLEAR as day the man just doesn't like n!gger$.

                    The only pure technical boxer fans are interested in watching is Floyd Jr and that's primarily because of the entertainment value he brings outside of the ring. RIGO doesnt have that, so he has to take more risks and forget about losing his 0 if he wants to stay televised he's already 33 so time is running out or it may just be that his time is up...

                      I agree, there's an illusion of more action in Molina's fights, but Carlos is still very hard to watch. At least Rigo has some master boxer skills on display. I've just never seen such a big deal made of a fighter's style. It's not like Rigo is the most boring champion of all time. I guess times have changed....
