Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Ready To Face Quigg on June 20th in UK

Rigo needs to get with Haymon as soon as humanly possible. He'll never get the fights he deserves with the promotional outfit he has right now.

c'mon quigg, c'mon mate or whatever is said where he's from, put up or shut up, trying to challenge Frampton with a 1.5 million check to make him look like a coward, c'mon mate show how tough u are and accept the Rigo beat down, Rigo is not a challenge for these guys he's a guaranteed beat down for them

truth, Haymon would do Rigo justice and make him look like the master he is by putting him on telecasts with announcers like Paulie and Virgil not that sorry azz Lampley

Rigo is one of my favorite boxers but in professional prize fighting your only as good as your management team and the people looking out for him are trash.

at least a challenge has been made....on behalf of rigo lool

but a challenge on social media is one thing, actually getting into official negotiations and taking the short straw is another.

Suddenly Quigg and his team will all mysteriously go silent.

What is June 20th anyway? Did they get the date wrong?

Quigg probably fights Kiko Martinez on July 18th

Hearn doesn't gave the bollocks to make this fight

The only reason Caribe is even letting anyone from their camp talk about the fight is because Hearn mentioned a $1.5m payday.

Offer Rigondeaux the actual value that he brings to the fight ($150k-$350k), and Caribe goes back to crying.

Caribe Promotions should just base Rigondeuax in Miami, fill his fight cards with Cuban defectors/Cuban Americans, and hope to God that Rigo tries to actually be entertaining for once.

Hyde said Rigo would fight them both for 1.5 million, not 1.5 million each. Hence fraction of the fee. Obviously there's no feasible way to make a 2 fight deal since it's two different promoters, but you get the message.

$750k is still significantly more than what Rigondeaux has ever brought in as a purse for a fight.

Rigo needs to know his value or kick rocks.

Arum did a **** poor job of building Rigondeaux up. You look at a guy like Donaire who is fed the Sydorenko's, Montiel's, Arces's, etc. in showcase fights, While Rigondeaux at 5'2 1/2 is matched with 5'7 and 5'9 122 pounders, instead of the Arce's, Montiel's, Sydorenko's etc. It seemed like Arum was more into matching him against awkward opponents, than guys he could look good against. As a promoter you can't match a guy that awkwardly then complain that he isn't exciting. If Rigs was fed Arce, bring Nishioka back out of retirement like they did for Donaire, Montiel, etc., he would KO all of those guys. Rigondeaux would seriously **** Quigg and Frampton up right now.
