Rigo should learn English to get more publicity and better ratings.

Yep. Or he could give LSC a visit with a press entourage and call him out in his face. He could also adapt a villainous role, push people around, talk in a sarcastic tone, anything that would make him an attraction. Things like that work in promoting yourself even if you're the most boring fighter in the sport.Originally posted by Boskop View PostComment

I've had enough of nationalistic bs sentiment. Rigo batters LSC every day of every week. Stop slurping every Mexican fighter. They are not all reincarnations of Salvador Sanchez.Comment

It still boggles the mind how a person can call his or herself a hardcore fight fan and has no interest in seeing Rigo fight. I can perfectly understand not appreciating his style and not planning your weekend around being able to watch him against a no hoper. But it seems like "fight fans" wanna toss this guy aside and act as if he doesn't exist. And almost crown a quasi champ in the non-Rigo world. That's nuts to me.Comment

New wave of fans, they more concern with the side of the business than the sport itself, for them a fight doesn't make sense if the guy is too technical even is that guy is Rigondeaux, i never heard zarate, gomez, sanchez or pintor just to mention a few guys from around that weight, saying that this guy is boring or it doesn't make any business sense, what a bunch of "great fighters" the ones we have now, the funny thing is that their fans are supporting this bs with all their passion...Originally posted by hitking View PostComment

People like to watch Floyd but they don't like to watch Rigo... because the "business" of boxing is too dependent on sensationalism in order to be successful(because the market has been conditioned to require it...and we keep feeding it)... It's really unfortunate that a guy like Rigo not only doesn't get more credit, but isn't raking in huge dollars like a kobe bryant or tiger woods... How boring is golf compared to Rigo's "boring" style? How can sport fans get all hyped up about a football game but think a one in a million fighter like Rigo is boring... In boxing, everyone wants to see wars and blood... or else it's "boring"(even if a guy is so good he can masterfully neutralize these big punchers)....But in every other sport, they can get "excited" without any blood? How is that? Because the mainstream public is so far removed from appreciating the athleticism required to be an elite fighter(because the finer art of fighting is devalued in public education)... whereas the athleticism required to be an elite "ball player" is easier to connect with by the public, easier to understand...even though so much less is at stake in a ball game(as far as the physical health of the players)...
See, the American public either wants a blood bath if it's going to be "bothered" to watch fighting... but, at the same time, will come out and fill stadiums to watch a bunch of guys run around with a ball,.... You see the disconnect here? How unbalanced the average sports fan is... They simply are unable to appreciate athleticism(especially on the finest level(boxing))...they can only appreciate a manufactured event... They can not appreciate what a rare thing it is, for a fighter like Rigo to do what he does...Comment

And on top of that you add up the help he got from I was lying yesterday but telling the truth today, and you get those new fans repeating the same bs...Originally posted by darius45 View PostComment

LSC and Haymon know what happens if he shares a ring with Rigo and the reward for that embarassment isn't worth it.Comment
