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

[Scipio2009]

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?

lol. history is history; you can be selective about the points that you want to acknowledge, but that doesn't change the fact that stuff has happened and will continue to happen.

Rigo-Agbeko was his first opportunity to be the lead of a show, with a budding star as his chief support, and utterly flopped on TV. Accept that that happened and move on. As long as you continue to deny reality, nd then use your selective retelling of history to define a fighter's value, you'll look ridiculous and continue to look ridiculous.

Rigo is well and alive, he surely isn't an historical figure, so you obviously don't even know what you are saying.
Rather, let the past be past or , by following your ******ed logic, one could discredit every existing fighter.

Who gives a damn about past TV ratings for one fight?. Rigo vs Santa Cruz is the biggest fight to make at super bantam, and it should be made. As easy as that.

Hell, Mayweather's ppv flopped in the past, Pacquiao's as well, should they both accept that they suck and move on?. It's utter nonsense, if somebody is sounding ridicolous, it's you.

And by the way, history is not history. Greeks and Romans and pretty much everybody else used to vastly exaggerate their victories. History is written by the winner. That is why there are researchers who still try to estimate how many men fought in a certain battle, for instance. But in spite of your user name I wouldn't expect you to know.

Rigondeaux doesn't sell tickets and Rigondeaux doesn't draw viewers. Not sure why that point is being missed.

Santa Cruz vs Frampton is actually the biggest fight at super bantam, though Rigo-LSC is also a good fight. The dilemna is figuring out how to bring in money and equitably split it between the fighters.

Leo Santa Cruz vs Abner Mares is a fight that can pretty comfortably sell of the StubHub, while also providing the type of fighting that would have folks stay tuned into the fight on TV. LSC's style is TV friendly enough that he'll always be able to find a slot somewhere.

Rigondeaux has none of that; he's a 35-year old, defense-first/second/third Cuban boxer who has never fought in Miami. There's literally no fanbase clamoring to watch Rigondeaux fight ever again. Floyd Mayweather "flopped" and still did over $50m in PPV revenue and another $15m at the gate, lol.

I'm not being selective, stating everything that took place, you are the one that looks like a hater by ommiting the parts that make that fight and ugly and fans to walk out.

They were 10K+ at the Casino in Hialeah yelling off the top of their lungs when Rigondeaux was presented with the Ring Magazine, for God sake he is the undisputed 122 pounds King, Zarate, Pintor, Gomez, Zamora and every Champ/contender with some self esteem should be trying to fight him, I never saw anyone running away from whitaker and he was known to stink the house big time, not until later in his career when he lost part of his quickness that you could sit down and watch his fights, you are st+ or a hater.

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.

I'm a fan of action. My favorite guys are action fighters, my favorite fights are action packed fights. But I am also a fan of boxing and I absolutely want to see this fight. The ultimate clash of styles going at it, the two top in the divison going at it, three belts on the line (4 if you count the ring belt). Are you kidding that no one wants to see it? "Don't fall for it"???? Who is the coward in this situation the guy who has increadible boxing ability so he uses it or the guy who "isn't falling" for fighting the other top guy in his division. Gtfo of here man. I assume you're happy Mayweather and Pacquiao haven't "fell" for fighting eachother yet, or Cotto hasn't "fell" for fighting Golovkin.

I still can't get over "don't fall for it" The ******ity in your comment is honestly off the charts
