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

[-PBP-]

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

It takes 2. And one sided fights that go the full 12 are never entertaining to me.

He has a $550k minimum according to Steve Kim.

Sounds like Top Rank's fault to me. They should have known the challenge that was put in front of them before they signed him to that deal.

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

But a world class fighter, determined to save his viewership, should out will a determined world class survivor...

Like Pac did against Clottey and like Donaire did against Navaraez? Or like Mikey did against Burgos? Like Floyd did against Guerrero?

Steve Kim? Where did he get that?

Why did TR settle for a $550k minimum knowing he wasn't a draw? Why not let him go? Just to fk him over?

Good for backing his fighter

That's the point. He's the scapegoat for all boring fights/fighters. He's an easy target to pick on because he doesn't speak English and fights at 122 which is a division that nobody gives a **** about outside of a few hardcore fans. You can openly criticize him and receive no backlash, risk losing interviews, etc.

Donaire vs Narvaez, Pacquiao vs Clottey/Mosley were boring. That was not Donaire/Pac's fault. Why were Donaire-Arce/Montiel/Vazquez Jr exciting? Why was did Pacquiao find it so easy to hit Hatton/Cotto/Margarito and got his fans excited?

Give Rigondeaux the line up of Arce, Montiel and Vazquez Jr and watch him light them up since they will come forward and they will not use defense.

Let's see Rigondeaux vs Santa Cruz n Showtime and watch it be exciting.

Arum is simply bitter about Rigo beating his most prized lower weight possession and has now started a rare smear campaign against his own fighter, something he resorts to doing to rival promoters fighters. Instead of giving him defenseless fighters like he did to Donaire and Pacquiao, he gives him a dirty fighter in Agbeko. Dirty fighter vs Defensive fighter = Terrible match up and Arum, that ****ing fossil, knows this.

Could also be the fact that Rigo forced Arum to be a joint promoter.

[Pain~Lucy]

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.

true this! even the fight began people left!

if you can see some dont even bother watching him fight LOL
