Comments Thread For: Santa Cruz Admits Haymon Downed Rigondeaux Bout

[HAY-B]

How many fighters are jumping at the chance to get in the ring with Rigo? Can't name one can you. How many Advisors/Managers/Promoters are trying to put their top guy in the division in the ring with Rigo? Still can't name one (outside of ODH). Boxing is a business so why put LSC in the ring with Rigo now when you can match him with all of the other top guys in the division and make a ton of cash. After he cashes in on the other fights which he arguable has a great shot at winning, then you take the chance of putting him in with Rigo. If you put him in their with Rigo now and he loses, he may lose out on the other fights against the top guys in the division.
I enjoy watching LSC and will continue to watch LSC regardless of who he fights. Call him whatever you want to.

SMH......Al HAymons Match making has ruined alot of top fighters reputations

Garcia
Quillen
Stevenson
Santa Cruz

to be fair....i think this was mostly the work of leo santa cruiz & he's only hiding behind haymon. it's pathetic..........



first he wouldn't fight rigo because rigo wasn't "interesting" then he wanted 3 million. but then when the fight was gonna go down he quickly ran to haymon. this was the work of leo santa cruiz............

That's the whole point man, it's a sport, the best are supposed to fight the best. Otherwise, the fans are being ripped off. Glad to see you're more concerned with a small group of people making money rather than entertaining the people who make it possible for them to earn.

Overnight Santa Cruz went from being a fighter with high hopes to a complete Joke

[TonyPeri]

True. How can he call himself champ? More like chump. I used to like Santa cruz, I am so sick of these guys who let someone else dictate their career. That why I have respect for Canelo - a real Mexican

This is why boxing is going to shet! Promotores/advicers $$$ has all corrupted the sport! Wbc should force him to defend otherwise strip him! with out the belt there is no $ to be made put belt up for grabs rigo vs #1 ranked

Does he have any fans now? Let him fight Frampton then, Frampton beats his ass too.

I'm done with Leo Santa Cruz. He's a nice guy, but he has no interest in testing himself against the best competition. And I see that he tried to take the easy way out and blame Al Haymon, but it's clear that he wanted no part of that ass whooping.

I understand it's a sport but the PRO ranks of boxing is a business first. It's sad but that's the way it is. Nobody is forcing you to watch.
You can't possible sit here and say LSC is not an entertaining fighter. He does not have to fight the best to be entertaining.
I'm not concerned with the money the fighters make but I can't knock them for wanting to get as much as the can before it's over.
Guys who fight war after war don't last long in PRO Boxing.
So I'll ask you this, those guys who do fight war after war that you may be a fan of, are you still their fan when they are shot and getting beat to a pulp every time they get in the ring as they hang around long after their expiration date trying to make enough money so they can hang up the gloves? Is that entertaining to you?

I respectfully disagree with you. I think LSC beats everybody in the division except Rigo. I really don't think there is one person in the division that can hold Rigo's jock strap in the ring.
