Comments Thread For: Team Rigondeaux Apply More Pressure on Santa Cruz

[PunchyPotorff]

Don't fall for it Leo! De La Hoya is now vocal about it because he knows you are leaving him for Haymon. NOBODY wants to see you against that boring runner. Do you really want to sign to get frustrated with his running and have the fans boo you both because of that disgusting rat? We want the actions fights!! They favor not only the fans but your image. Fighters like Rigo stain the image of the person who is fighting them because he avoids confrontation like the ****** coward he is.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! NOBODY eh? HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Wow guy, you get Daftest Of The Day Award. Leo has fought a stack of cans lately, but Rigo is the bum? That's OK, if/when Leo grows a set, Rigo will deflate his dreams EASILY. Won't even be remotely close. A worse beating than Donut Air received. Leo will then be relegated FNO to King Of The FNFs. HA!!!!

Leo doesn't want this fight because he knows he's gonna lose it.
Nobody wants that

Hey dumbazz, in case you didn't know, it was LSC who over priced himself at 3mil (which there's no way in hell he would get that) even Oscar said that it was too high. He's been ducking Rigo and everyone knows it. Fckn coward. Not a true Mexicano!

You've continued to ignore the point that Caribe has their own habit of overpricing Rigondeaux as well. In case you missed it Frank Warren, Matchroom Sport, Sauerlands, and even Roc Nation have walked away from working with Rigondeaux because of the price tag.

He went and fought in Japan for a New Years show, for $500k no less, against a pretty hapless opponent.

Do you honestly think Caribe would accept even $400k for a fight with Leo Santa Cruz, agruably the second most marketable fighter at the weight? And $400k would be paying a friggin premium. lol

[Scipio2009]

is one of the worst excuses for not doing the fight. If the excuse of lsc is that he deserves 6 times the money of the real champion we better has to accept he is a coward as he already showed.

What Leo Santa Cruz earns to fight is of no consequence to the discussion; the point was that Caribe, on behalf of Rigondeaux, would demand significantly more than what Rigondeaux is actually worth to take the fight.

Outside of Miami, which may not even be true, there's not a venue in the country where 100 tickets will be sold to come out and watch Rigondeaux fight. Why offer Rigondeaux, the clear-cut class of the division, even $300k when there are easily bigger fights (Mares-LSC) and more enjoyable fights with cheaper opponents. lol

[Scipio2009]

So Santa Cruz, an undercard fighter, is worth 1 million more than Rigo? In your opinion that would be fair if LSC was getting paid 1.5 M and Rigo 500k?

Let me remind you of the purses for Donaire vs. Rigo: 1.3 M Donaire / 750k Rigo, knowing that Donaire was much more popular than Santa Cruz and Rigo was even less popular than he's now.

Rigondeaux isn't even worth the $500k, tbh. LSC is worth closer to $1.5m than Rigondeaux is to $500k. (Mares-Santa Cruz, on NBC, just might be a $1.5m fight if you think about it).

Rigo doesn't sell tickets and Rigo doesn't draw eyeballs.

LSC aint fighting rigo.

LSC is currently looking at the al haymon ducking playbook for possible alternatives.

Leo stop the excuses, you are a coward and we all know it...

they can do the fight in Japan where 32M watch his last fight, and was treated by the Japanese fans like the Royalty he is, by the way he put a show over there...
one boring fight against cordova and because arum say so, every hater is running with it... And don't mention agbeko and Atlantic City, that fight should have take place in Miami, no the main event where a philly fighter was been showcase it against a brawler like kirkland, and on top of that the kid lost, so his fans left the arena very sad after seeing a few rounds of agbeko trying to survive, the funny thing is that agbeko was a very solid exchamp that until that fight woill engage aginst everyone, maybe he lost his ball against mares or he felt Rigondeaux power, what do you think?

Boxing is hit and don't get hit. Rigo does this almost better than anyone. And Rigo isn't a runner, he does just what needs to be done to avoid getting hit. He's one of the greatest defensive fighters alive.

You just know Rigo will make LSC look like the can crusher that he is. You scared homie.
