ESPN's Brian Campbell on Rigo

[-PBP-]

5 bucks says Rigo resigns with Arum within a year.

I wouldn't be surprised if he resigns after his next fight now based on what's going on at the rival company.

I wouldn't mind if they kept him in Macau. There are a lot of strong champions in and around that weight class in Asia. Plus Top Rank has the much stronger featherweight roster with Donaire, Walters, Gradovich and Lomachenko.

The only fights that we would miss will be Mares and Santa Cruz. But featherweight wins over the 4 I listed, especially if Lomachenko beats Russell would be a much stronger resume.

Most likely IMO. Put him in China if things work out well July 19th

Yeah, let's see if either of those guys, or anyone else worth a damn, steps up to the plate. It's looking like everyone wants to pretend Rigo don't even exist. These clowns, Frampton and Martinez, are talking rematch.

They're not just talking, its actually done. These Thai guys are pretty tough so lets see if good ol' Udhduebtoo Kotkiegymnsium puts up a decent effort.

Rigo needs a wwf old school manager to sell himself. lol!

Yes, I think alot of people are not jumping to fight him.

As I recall, a long time ago, Natas made a similar suggestion to what Campbell says in that chat. It's really not rocket science. You play-up your client, no matter how boring you may secretly believe him to be. You certainly don't publicly put him down. What the fuck is that? You're a promoter...promote! SMH

I don't care how tough that guy is. He's not good enough. All his "toughness" is going to get him is a longer night of punishment, just like Rios versus Pac.

Which I thoroughly enjoyed. Of course, I dont dislike the Thai like I did Rios.

I can't say I didn't feel a degree of Sadism with Pac-Rios, but it can't watch one-sided beatdowns like that for twelve rounds. I literally lost interest and ramped-up the booze-consumption during the fight party. I expect a similar one-sided drubbing in the next Rigo fight. They hold no joy for me.
