Bob Arum/HBO send Rigo into exile, his fight will NOT be televised! SMH

[brickcityboxing]

Mike D is one of the good guys on here. The B. Suth sig wasn't hint enough?

Lol next I'm gonna hear B. Sutherland fights aren't going to be televised !!!

In Rigo's defense, let him fight the guys Zou is fighting as a headliner. There will be swinging but not for long.

Doesn't Shiming sell a lot? I thought he was really popular over in China...

It's too bad fighting in Cuba isn't an option for Rigo...I'm sure he'd be able to move a good amount of tickets if he could fight in his home country

In Shiming's defense again, outside of Donaire he pretty much has been fighting those guys.

And KO'd 8 out of 12 ... Cordoba, Donaire and Agbeko didn't get Ko'd but who's else is knocking them out. Too tired to check boxrec to see if I'm right on his record or who the other guy is who didn't get Ko'd but if you put a "bum" in front of Rigo they are getting Ko'd ... More than can be said for Shiming

[Mike D]

You actually agree ? ... Lol first time I've had an opposing view from someone on this site, stated my opinion and in their response they agreed with me... GREEN K

LOL hey you made a great point, Bob's a moron for publicly ripping his fighter. He has one of the elite pound for pound fighters in the sport and should be turning over every stone to try to find a way to build this dude up. I understand that it hasn't worked out so far, but going public and attacking Rigo is just....I don't know, I don't even have words for it.

And for the record I think Rigo is must see television. I love watching him box circles around MFers. He's the definition of "sweet science".

First of all what is Daeontae whatever the hell his name is source? Sounds like he's making it up.

Going through a couple of his videos, he doesn't seem reliable, in fact he seems like one of those "boo hoo everyone hates us cause our skin color" types. No surprise he has numerous HBO/Top Rank hate videos. He seems like your typical butthurt flomo battered in red K.

I also read in an article that was put out on BS that it was HBO that was refusing to air future Rigo fights unless his viewership went up. It was Arum who had to pull strings just to get the Cuban his TV dates. And yeah, it's a pretty simple concept, you don't bring the viewers you get shafted. Pretty sure the arena was close to EMPTY in his last fight.

You're correct, he's like our very own Big Dung, Ducketts type.

Damn HBO for showing the main event of the card and not the fight nobody tunes in to

It's possible he does sell a lot .. I don't know. HBO and Arum's beef with rigo is a stylistic one, my point is Zou Shiming's fights haven't necessarily been FOTY candidates and given his opposition he should look much more impressive but we don't here Arum taking a dump on him every chance he gets ...

I'm not comparing the two. I'm just saying they're almost at the same stage in their careers. Except Rigo is a step ahead.

And Shiming is feather fisted. He tags the **** out of his opponents and comes to fight.

Rigo has a lot more pop and comes to win.

It's not like Shimin is headlining Vegas. He's in freakin China FFS.
