Obviously its much easier for him to just ignore the fact GR even exists because he knows GR would take the fight in a heartbeat.
    Ah, the pleasure when boxing fans speak the truth. Arum and Leo Santa Cruz can have their failed excuses about ratings in the states, but Rigo has openly said he'd come to the UK to fight whoever. I mean who are Quigg and Frampton kidding that they wouldn't draw a packed stadium the moment they mention Rigo?! lol It's an oxymoron of a promotion. Why are they going to pretend that Rigo is nobody?! Failed logic at its best.

    HOWEVER, we're focusing too much on the past here. If I'm not mistaken, Rigo is getting consulting from Haymon...so I'm sure there's something brewing. Heck, to see Rigo on PBC is ATLEAST refreshing for even new boxing fans to see the footwork and IQ of Rigo in the ring than to for the regular boxing fans complaining about the drama. Wouldn't we all agree?

      The reality is there's a dark side in American bias when it comes to anything Cuban. You need strong managers to really help out Visa situations. This was a similar story with Edwin Valero. So sad it's 2015. Of course most of us don't give a shıt about those things, but it affects boxing. Personally I think with Lara and Rigo on Haymon, better things to come. Can you believe Lara fled Cuba to Mexico gangsta style. Dude's be exiling themselves out..

      Anyhow, Lara's still defending that belt. The Canelo bout wasn't even a title fight, and personally that fight should have been a Draw. Golden Boy wouldn't buy that. Literally. =P

        This has nothing to do with visas, these guys have gotten themselves wrapped up in legal problems with promoters and so on and just aren't viable anymore. Lara's probably in the best position but Gamboa is with a joke of a promoter and Rigo's future is just up in the air.

          We're not talking about Gamboa now, he has to first get himself out of this 50 Cent ordeal. Regarding ''legal problems'' rest assured Haymon will sort that out. Haymon is the dude and will talk out the insecurities of Caribe. =) Think positive.

              Will that one fight be his one major career accomplishment or is there more on store for the ring God?.
              beating donaire was the worst mistake he ever made in his life

                Wasted? What are you talking about, son. ''All those years.'' It's only been 2 years, and he has defended it against a former champ Agbeko and #1 or #2 ranked Amagasa and Kokietgym.

                Get out of here. I hate when boxing fans just single out the most purest form of information: empirical evidence.

                    Better than winning 0 major fights and being given the keys to the castle.
