Comments Thread For: Arum on What It’d Take to Re-sign Guillermo Rigondeaux

[hectari]

Do Communist stick together? if so if China has a good relationship with Cuba, I could see Rigo developing a good fanbase in China event though Rigo is no longer in Cuba or a communist Arum should use that angle to market him in China maybe it will work and they will relate to him?

China is a powerhouse, just let Rigo fight in China, I think the Chinese will gain a respect for Rigo, Maybe its because they respect Martial arts there and the hit and not get hit base of martial arts point fighting tournaments.

El Chacel stinks out arena...Arum 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!!!


Arum is evil incarnate but as evil as he is....even he doesn't deserve to promote a sleep inducing, insomnia curing, fighter.

OMG July 19th can't come first enough, then and only then can HBO and Arum give El Chacel and his boxing career death's sweet release.


He is same even when he not fighting....look at the expression of this boring, boring man

Rigo

I'm a pure boxing fan, and former fighter. If I were any promoter out tgere I would love to pick up Rigo if stun slipped up. I honestly believe he's the the best fighter in the world pound for pound with Floyd second, and ward third. He does need the fights to bring out a even better fighter than what we've seen which will be hard to do. FLOYD has spent the last years fighting fighters that are naturally larger than him, and Rigo may have to do the same.

That's pretty funny, except Rigo doesn't get "terrified."

I think a lot of actual fighters admire Rigo. They understand the pure talent and ability, and appreciate the rarity of it. Maybe not everyone wants to fight like Guillermo, but they wish they could fight like him.

What kind of promoter talks like this about their own fighter?

Arum is a pretty disgusting lump of flesh. As someone already stated, Arum was pissed that Doniare got schooled and decided to do absolutely nothing towards advancing Rigondeaux's exposure or career.

Yet, this Arum styled mentality and persona will supposedly save boxing and end the cold-wars ...

Arum just wants to promote rock em sock em robots

Arum, likes his fighter's illiterate, brainless but functional ... Easier to manipulate and rob them that way.

[CubanGuyNYC]

He's boring. Noone wants to see him fight with the exception of his 20 fans.

I remember when there were only 5 of us. Then there were 7. Now it's twenty. Yeah, baby! Soon there'll be millions of us!

If Rigondeaux can secure a fight with and defeat Santa Cruz he would skyrocket. This guy is a better style than Floyd M. . I'm Mexican American, huge love for Santa Cruz, I think Rigondeaux wins by decision.

[Mitchell Kane]

So HBO doesn't want him, and Top Rank doesn't work with SHO.

Maybe he'll sign with GBP and/or Haymon and get on SHO.

Perhaps it can be one of DLH's first post-Schaefer signings. Or not.

[Bardock]

Ja ja . Thanks al Haymon . Rigo doesn't need you anymore and there is showtime out there . Santacruz , who is with Haymon , and maybe mares who is probably signing with him too , would be great fights for rigo and for the channel
. RigondeAux is a special talent whom I'm sure Haymon will sign .
Keep your loser and exposed ducknaire on hbo , the winner and better boxer , rigondeaux , will be on showtime ...... Hit and not get hit ; you can't not hit what you don't see . This is boxing , not fighting .

No, its fighting you fckng retard
