Comments Thread For: Team Rigondeaux May Sue WBO; Haymon Deal Broke

[AddiX]

Sue for what? They gave them the option to fight any top 15 ranked contender. All Caribe had to do was go down the list and make a damn fight. The WBO sanctions not promote them.

Ordering purse bids didn't work...see Avalos. So they made it as easy as they could for Caribe.

That's true, but the sad truth is rigo probably doesn't understand any of this.

Most of these fighters really don't understand how the business works. A lot of them don't even know who the contenders in there own division are.

Most of them expect there trainer/manager/promoter to work all that stuff out, while they focus on training.

Most of 50 Cent's roster wasted time as well. We shouldn't make a big deal about such fiascoes when other fighters have been out on aonger hiatus due to contract conflicts. When Is Mikey Garcia coming back? Arum messed dude up. Chavez Jr, Ward.

It could've been a combination of things including Hyde and Caribe. You can't just blame Caribe. In the end. You gotta admit it's all funny...

Mikey Garcia being out of for so long has only himself to blame. Dude got 2 million for his last fight vs a tuneup level opponent. hes got nothing to complain about.

Hehe. I noticed ur sig. I actually watched the Mayorga vs Tito bout today while repairing some comps. Mayorga always surprises me with his thumping power. The way he eluded some of titos jabs i must say his defensive reflexes were quite good. Here's a funny joke...he makes the Hall Of Fame for facing elite some of the best and GGG never gets inducted while Lanpley cries, quits HBO, and becomes the next Ted Kazinsky.

Lost any and all leverage he has. Congratulations! This is the downside to playing hardball. Sat on the shelf waiting it out with the idea Haymon was in his ace up his sleeve and voila...lost your bargaining trinket.

i dont believe they ever negotiated with Haymon. why would a deal fall apart? haymon signs everybody. Caribe promotions is just incompetent.

Yeah, what other fighters did Haymon fail to sign ?

[Dr Rumack]

Imagine these simple fucks trying to take Haymon to court. Half of Caribe Promotions probably have warrants out on them. They wouldn't get inside the door.

[about.thousands]

The only way I see Caribe negotiating a deal with Haymon is if some sort of buyout was involved. Rigo can sign with Haymon without the blessing of Caribe. He hasn't fought in almost a year he's probably up to his neck in debts to them. He'll still be their fighter but Haymon would be his manager.

I was reading the reports from the WBO's meeting yesterday and they only have $$342,458 cash on hand. If their belts aren't being defended they aren't making money. Although they're doing better than last year hey took a hit this year with Rigo & Boo Boo being inactive. This is why I doubt the WBC will strip Canelo or Cotto. They had to **** themselves when they saw the fight purses for GGG/Lemiuex. They're making more off Canelo purse than GGG/Lemiuex combined.

You can read it on fight news if you're interested

Im not really a rigo fan but this sucks.

Who was the mandatory for rigos belt? Why wasnt this enforced?

[Drunk Punch]

Caribe lookin every bit the Mickey Mouse company that they are. Can't sell Rigo to any network, can't organize any meaningful fights, can't deal with sanctioning bodies, can't work with other promoters.
