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

[BoxingJunkie]

I'm a big fan of Rigo's but ratings are ratings. Rigo's style and lack of an large ethnic fan base (Mexican, Puerto Rican, Filipino, etc) make it very difficult to market him. Team Rigo has to be realistic with themselves. If they think jumping to Show Time and signing with Al Haymon (If he will even bother to sign him) is going to make a difference, they are sadly mistaking.

Then on top of these issues, there is simply a lack of star talent at 122 lbs. Rigo refuses to move up to further complicate matters so I can't see Rigo's career moving forward in a meaningful way.

let him go to Showtime...they're used to low ratings over there

Your post made me smile in agreement. Very choice words.

Perfect timing for rigo to leave this devil

[Guerrero360]

After the way this d*ckhead has treated him discrediting him 5 minutes after his best win idk how anyone would want to sign again. He needs somebody who will actually give a fk and put in there some real competition not more walking dead looking puzzies whos balls shrink after 1 hit.

He may not be destined to be a ppv star that was clear from the start he always has the deadstare on when the cameras are rolling, but it's all about matchmaking. We are forced to watch some of the biggest mismatches and the crappiest nobody gives a fk matchups, but no one has the balls to find someone who can compete, and match well with one of the best in the world?. Doesn't even have to be main event, but only nutthugs wouldn't want to watch no real boxing fan would pass on watching one of the best boxers in the world dismantle some fools.

Made a mistake on a earlier post. This guy speaks the truth. Great post

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.

Interesting angle you could be right

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!

loool

Everyone is almost united in this thread, rigo is getting some love now

Can't really argue with what Arum is saying, If Rigo is as profitable as some on here think he is his career shall be fine with or without Arum.

But the truth.

Oh man, if he moves to Showtime I'll never get to watch him fight live ever again. Then again, unless something drastic happens I won't get to see him fight more than once a year against weak opposition anyway. I thought he was fighting someone else? Now he's fighting a Thai who doesn't even have a wiki page? Great. Sounds like a real tough fight.
