Comments Thread For: Guillermo Rigondeaux Embraces The New Journey Ahead

[jas]

Al haymon will sign him , he signed Vasquez lol

[MrRolltide91]

I wonder where he will go next

Sorry but Rigo is an athlete, part of an athlete's job is to promote his damn self. Why don't we see pictures of Rigo at events, charities, the boys club down in miami that has a nice boxing program? Oh that's right because in these people's mind it's only skills and skills should alone make him a star. [...]

You can't be by the poolside in a pair of chancletas thinking because you can box that's all there is to the game. How many big @ss cuban stars are in miami that would jump at a chance to get Rigo coverage..well why ain't it happening?
Bad management and huge ego..don't blame the promoter if you ain't willing to help your damn self. You came all this way from Cuba the least you can do is drag your @ss out to some events.

What an obscene heap of crap.

Rigo doesn't even speak english and he is supposed to go around promote himself?.

Rigo is a fighter, one of the best in the world if not the best, if a promotion company can't promote him , what's the point of having a promoter?.

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish, Son of man?.

Everybody wants the keys to the kingdom while sitting on their behinds. Sorry but Rigo is an athlete, part of an athlete's job is to promote his damn self. Why don't we see pictures of Rigo at events, charities, the boys club down in miami that has a nice boxing program? Oh that's right because in these people's mind it's only skills and skills should alone make him a star. If that was the case then Floyd wouldn't need to go on tours, make appearances between bouts, keeping his face in the mix, same for manny, canelo, golovkin, etc. Look at sergio mad crazy skills for years..took all the drama with williams and chavez to get him his spot. Sergio himself put together a campaign going across the u.s. putting himself out there as well. You can't be by the poolside in a pair of chancletas thinking because you can box that's all there is to the game.

still doesnt justify top rank ****tin on their own fighter simply because he wont allow himself to be hit.. and im sorry but youre wrong on canelo, he has been pampered throughout his career and milked for the simple fact that hes mexican, he doesnt promote himself either, de la hoya changes his diapers, canelo has a dry persona and doesnt speak english, all his hype is from being mexican and having a promoter do his job which is to PROMOTE.. rigo is one of the most skilled boxers ive ever seen in my life, u damn right that should be enough for him to be a star, he shouldnt have to resort to coonery like mayweather to get recognition. this post was horrible from every angle.

wtf i just watched the post fight press conference and he said thanks top rank for doing a good job, i really really hope he doesnt sign with them again like pac did. Alhaymon please come and grab this kid.

Eddie Hearn, make it happen.

He can turn Rigo into the star attraction his skills deserve.

[bojangles1987]

Anywhere else should be better than under grudge holding Bob Arum.

Hopefully the decision Rigondeaux and his team make ends up being the right one.

Arum and HBO have simply echoed the idiocy of what has become of a huge percentage of today's "hardcore" followers of the sport. I won't call them hardcore fight fans because they're not. In the last five years or so, basically during the height of the Floyd-Manny nonsense, several casual fans became hardcore followers because they were caught up in that drama. We've seen viewership of guys like GGG and Kovalev reach near record highs. And these morons that deepthroat them don't have the boxing IQ to appreciate a guy like Rigo. Who on his worse day has more talent and skill in his pinky toe than either of those ass clowns. And what's worse is that these new aged imbecile hardcore followers applaud guys like Rigo and Ward being ducked by lesser fighters who happen to be more entertaining to the ignorant, uneducated hardcore followers of today. Ten years ago, GGG would have to see Ward, especially after agreeing to fight Chavez Jr at 68. Ten years ago, guys like Santa Cruz, Mares, Loma and anyone else would have had to see Rigo, and hardcore fight fans would have demanded it. But that day is gone. And those ignorant f.uckz that infest sites like this one are gonna ruin this great sport with their idiocy. I mean seriously. Rigo is probably the best fighter in the world and potentially one of the best ever. And not only can he not get fights. He can't even get his fights on TV. And ****** f.uckz, like the ones that infest this site applaud and think that's a good thing. Disgusting to say the least.

its not just how to win in every fights, but to create interest and excitement to the people watching around the world.
