    Floyd has boxing skills, Terence Crawford, mikey garcia, lara. Rigo isn't interesting to watch. Greatly skilled but I can't stay up. He's he only fighter I can't watch.

      With all due respect, I could care less about his boring ass. I am glad he is being shunned, boring fighters do not deserve tv time. Most of us fans want to see get entertained when we sit down to watch TV, not get bored watching someone retreat in what is supposed to be a fight.

      Why would a network pick him up when every network is battling for viewers by providing the best possible entertainment... A network would be at a disadvantage if they put Rigo on.

        He is clearly better than Floyd. Defensively he doesn't get hit.

        His 12th pro fight he murked Donaire. Who did Floyd fight as his 12th?

          His big problem is that watching him fight is like eating your vegetables. Even if Max Kellerman goes to great lengths to explain why you should eat you vegetables, they're still vegetables. I like watching Rigo myself, but I just get this vision of his managers and HBO execs begging him to mix it up a little more after his couterpunching renders the other guy utterly afraid to do anything. Who knows, maybe some time off the air will encourage him to dress up his 'eat you vegetables' type performances a bit.

          It's not like HBO didn't try...

              Rigo is just too good for any opponent to make it interesting to watch. Rigo clearly in a class of his own. Too good and skilled for his own good. Very sad!!!

                You can't be serious but i'll play along.

                Rigondeaux was 32 years old when he fought Donaire, with 380+ amateur fights.

                In his 12th fight, Floyd Mayweather Jr was 20 years old and had 90 amateur fights.

                Speaking of 12th fights, Manny Pacquiao got KTFO in his 12th fight against Rustico Torrecampo, Manny was 24 years old. Torrecampo had 4 losses, all by TKO, and was 5' 2".

                  He is a gifted boxer, but me personally I can't sit there and watch him bore me to sleep.

                  Harsh I know but I guess you only like to see fights that are entertaining otherwise the sport becomes unwatchable.

                    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 ?

                      Rigo P4P better then Floyd. Floyd is just more accomplished because of his options. If Rigo had those options at his weight, he would clean it up quickly with not only skill but with power. Rigo is the most complete fighter today.
