    Rigondeaux is 34 years old. He is no Floyd Mayweather or Bernard Hopkins. At most he has two to three good years of boxing left in him. He has only fought 14 times and his biggest purse thus far was the $750,000 he made against Donaire. He hasn't made enough to retire and live comfortably on and he cannot afford to turn down $1.8 million or more per year. The way he is acting, I think he will end up broke and living on the streets of Miami or wherever he is living by the time he is 36.

      I like Rigo but it just seems far too many boxers are holding out for better deals these days and it often doesn't happen or leaves them fighting less regularly. Urrrgh, fighting 30% less often for 15% more money ain't good maths kids. Get boxing like triple G.

            Obviously nobody is rushing to give this guy any chances or big opportunity and he does this. If it's true just another dumbass move by a boxer.

              I mean at least Ward is making 2 million or so every time he fights. He can somewhat afford to take the time off. Rigo? Naaah.

                  Rigo needs to fire Carribe. I think he was hoping to sign with Golden Boy. There really is no point in signing with GBP because they are working with HBO and they threw Rigo under the Bus. Rigo might be waiting for Mayweather Promotions and Haymon
