El Chacel stinks out arena...HBO is doing the right thing
A paycut is not good enough for this Nyquil inducing athlete ..I hate to say this (actually I don't because he sucks on live TV) because again I'm a purist but there are limits to even a purist..he is boring.
He needs to be punished until he changes his style and approach to boxing. You know he should be punished...because he knew what was at stake especially after the ridicule he received from the fight he had prior and Arum had to pull out all the stops to get him this date and he still delivered the same boring performance.
Even with the fans booing, he didn't care...he already got our money and said to himself "I'm going to fight my boring style and win"
Sometimes it isn't about just winning, it's about how you win especially when you are fighting an opponent not in your league.
Punishment is in order, let him fight off US television until El Chacel and his moronic manager realizes that fighting on HBO is a privilege....NOT A RIGHT!!!Comment

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.Comment
