Rigondeaux's Manager Gary Hyde's Open Letter to Bob Arum

[bopbopbbe]

On paper agbeko was a good opponent. So i dont know if they can claim they choose a bad opponent on purpose.

[devildg]

Agbeko is a quality fighter who fought well in the bantam tourney. He's more popular than Rigo, arguably LOL

[-PBP-]

Nobody questioned Agbeko's name value. They are questioning his motivation and preparation going into this fight.

I'll take the word from a guy who was actually involved in the negotiation process and actually knew what was going on behind the scenes.

[The Problem Child]

WAA WAA! Waa... and some more WAA! Gary, your fighter is BORING. It has nothing to do with Agbeko... people LEFT before the fight even began lmao. Nobody is interested in watching Rirundeaux run in circles playing tag and then saying post fight he will not change his style to be appealing to the public.

Sour g****s. If Rigo didn't put on a stinker, maybe fans wouldn't have walked out of the arena. Many one sided fights are still entertaining and worth watching. Simply put, Rigo put people to sleep and his manager is clearly on the defensive making up excuses for an unwatchable product

[DoktorSleepless]

Which other fighters in that date would

1)Be willing to fight Rigo
2)Be competitive with Rigo
3)Be willing to fight for crap money
4)Be accepted by HBO

Unless Hyde can name a name, he's full of shit.

I have a question, where did this whole thing about Rigo asking for a ridiculous amount of money come from? Enlighten me.

Then if you know your opponent is distracted or unprepared, then knock him out! It's not like Rigo can't do it, he has the power but lacks the initiative.

If a world class fighter is determined to not get KO'd then he can survive.
