I just read.... It's the same freaking guy. How many names does this guy have? Damn.

yet you somehow want HBO to force feed Rigo onto a public that clearly doesnt want to watch him.

(keep in mind, you and all the other "highly evolved" hipster boxing fans who enjoy Rigo's style only account for about .0000032% of the boxing public. To stay in business HBO has to focus on the other 99.9999968%)

His fight against Donaire was a success, HBO and Arum should have given him love, yet they put down his style like it was his fault he is too good for everyone else. They should give him the respect he deserves. I dont want HBO to force feed us anyone honestly. I like how all the other channels do it by giving us a huge variety of boxers.

Dont forget, boxing on FoxSports1 tonight starts off a 4 day stretch of boxing on tv.

How is showing a top 5 p4p fighter considered force fed? Hint, it's not

Spanish announcers are better than HBO anyway. HBO is too biased.

Rigo should just fight overseas like Chris John.

What really grinds my gears is that that the results of the match is already going to be known before it airs in the states.

I am really contemplating on supporting Showtime exclusively and just streaming HBO since they want to denounce American talent and showcase foreign fighters with crapph skills like Shi.tming

Looknongyantoy is an interesting name.

But this is a complete mismatch for a top p4p fighter. No wonder its going to unimas.

Hint, when nobody wants to watch, its called force fed. Look at the phrase my friend, FORCED. Not desired, but they put Rigo on there anyway. I understand that the majority of hardcore fans such as yourself and I enjoy Rigo's style, however the market that HBO is looking to entertain is not us. We are the minority while HBO tries to draw in the casual market. Zhou shiming's style is much more (casual) fan friendly in comparison to Rigo's. Therefore they decided to go with the more exciting fighter to draw in the casuals.
Casuals=$$$
They know hardcore fans will tune in anyway because we love boxing.
It is 100% a business decision that unfortunately has Rigo on the losing end.

Well deserved. Cowards do not deserve network time.
