Why wont more people speak up? Rigondeaux is clearly the best boxer in the world

[CubanGuyNYC]

What he needs is marketing. Just like with....other fighters....the fans can be made to believe that what they are watching IS exciting, even if its really only the opponent that is bringing the excitement. He needs to learn English as fast as possible and start talking crazy **** daily. Take a step back. Fight four time a year, on ESPN. Beat everyone and don't change a damn thing. Get interviewed daily talking **** about how you are the greatest god damn boxer in the universe and of all time.

Give it a few years, a dozen more shut outs, the legend will grow. Here comes Tough Guy Eddie, can Tough Guy Eddie do anything to Riggo? Here comes Balamalaka Lugopoy, what about El Beasto from the Easto whatever, just shut them all out.

Everyone will ****ing HATE you. But they will tune in. He needs to rub it in their face about how magnificent he is, constantly. Instead he has old man Bob **** talking HIM for being boring. A good promoter would spin this and say, OFCOURSE its boring because ain't nobody here to challenge Rigo! Nobody can win even one round he is THE GREATEST.

I was rooting for Donaire. I'm far from a Rigo superfan, however, I strongly dislike a legit guy being forced off the networks because boxing has become so dumbed down that we need constant KO's and hard bloody wars otherwise we fall asleep.

This guy is so ****ing good nobody can win a round off him, hardly. That is the angle. Remember, he has only had a few fights at this point, even now, ratings can grow, a lot of people don't know HOW to enjoy this guy yet and Arum and Kellerman don't have the abilities to help them.

Great post. You're one of the few guys I've seen even suggest this. But it's quite obvious, isn't it? Rigo needs to be promoted from that angle. It's mind-boggling and even disgusting that a man with Arum's experience won't even attempt to try that obvious promotional angle. Instead, he publicly chastises his own client for a style that wins fights.

Thank you for being a real boxing fan, one who looks beyond his tastes and wants to see the sport saved from those that want to ram one particular style down our throats.

I have been always saying this everywhere ! but Martinez is still my No.1 P4P for what his boxing career represents !

Men. Premium network boxing is ****. People need to stop ****driding HBO and Showtime.

Boxing sucks this year especially on those 2 networks. It sucks no matter what style you enjoy. A bunch of mismatches.

Get for Kovalev vs Agnew!!!!!!!

I agree........

Jazz hasn't been great since the 30s-40s. The 50s ruined it with the lounge style and it's gotten worse ever since.

you don't anything about jazz

[Jack Napier]

maybe because hardly anybody gives a fuck about Rigo?

Calling a Rigo a coward on the internet. That must make you one of the bravest men alive.

He said cowardly style. He does fight with one takes 0 chances even when facing a far lesser fighter. Most of the other boxing style fighters will do something else and make an effort to go forward ...Rigo does not. He throws his kitten jab out 800 times and keeps back.

[bojangles1987]

I wish the people who devoted so much time to loving or hating Stevenson's business decisions cared half as much about Rigondeaux. Whether you love or hate him, the idea that one of the three best fighters in the world isn't wanted on television is terrible.

We all know Arum is furious that Rigondeaux beat Donaire and will not make anything easy for him. If people don't think that plays a huge role in his lack of popularity, they're fooling themselves.

Who's talking about Pacquio? I'm not; for once.

Rigo made history in his 12th fight against a p4p top 5 opponent. Gets hit less than Floyd, what are you saying ?

Pretty damn sad. Its ok for you to bring up floyd in a RIGONDEAUX thread but when someone says something about Manny, its wrong.

"Don't you say nothing bad about my Manny."

Such a shame.
