Comments Thread For: Arum: Rigondeaux Wants Lomachenko, Caribe To Blame

[tiliheels]

What Arum said is exactly what I've been saying has been the problem with Cuban boxers. They are unwilling to change their style.
When you're fighting in a tournament, then it makes sense to take as little risk as possible and just get the win, because you might have to fight in a few days.
However the pros don't work like that. You have to put up on a show, take risks, and be more offensive.

Also when is Rigo going to get rid of Carribe already?

obviously you and arum missed the amgasa fight...obviously

[tiliheels]

Caribe sound like a bunch of bumbling idiots. lol @ getting millions from Cuba. They have no idea what they're doing, Rigondeaux has to get away from them as soon as possible.

But I don't buy Arum's b.s. either. He badmouthed Rigo terribly in the press after the Donaire fight, I've never seen a promoter try to ruin his own fighter's reputation like that.

im questionable on arum too...now iwould believe him if he sad caribe wanted promised air time win lose or draw..that sounds reasonable...but this cuba jab to me seens just like that...a jab at rigo

I find it hilarious that we can go search boxing scene search results and find all the people who blamed Arum for Rigo's career situation, well he's been gone how long now? Has it improved? It's actually gotten worse. Arum may not be the most standup dude but he gets his fighters money. Don't know what sort of contract Rigo has with Caribe but he's literally fked because of it and won't consider moving up.

arum badmouthing his own fighter was good in wat way? saying he had no interest in resigning him was good in wat way?

caribe seems to suck but they do have him a fight lined up so maybe we're seeing a different path and them taking someone's direction

i mean i'll be the first to admit that this caribe dude seems like a white collar miami drug dealer turned boxing promoters...his look reminds me of a knockoff version of a rick ross song that tries to sell you the life of a drug kingpin with very slow orchestra type music...
on his twitters he's showin off his wife's ****..or maybe she's an escort that he keeps who knows..its miami..he's hold bottles and rigo's career up...but i dont believe the cuba line...rigo knows he cant fight in cuba now.thats an easy jab for arum

[Cinci Champ]

those who are saying arum had no blame get real. of course he had blame but its quiet clear he was more mad at his managers not rigo. also its pretty dam obvious that since mayweather pac happened arum has finally got out of his bs character and mellowed hes always been a strait talker but he always had a mayweather pac agenda i dont know just seems like hes mellowed to me

[!! Shawn]

LOL! Arum saying he is one of the few guys who likes Rigo? Are you the same Bob Arum that SHAT on him after he beat Donaire, and called him unmarketable, and claimed Donaire really won, and then dropped Rigondeaux?

Yes Bob, poor Rigondeaux, if only he had YOU looking out for him.

[MisanthropicNY]

Could have written one sentence and not played politics or wasted anyone's time with this article...

Rigo was scared to move up 4 pounds..

[richardt]

This is not Rigo's fault. His manager threw out too high of a figure, not Rigo. He manager is a cancerous tumor in his life.

smh.............

Wrong. Nobody wants to work with caribe promotions. Frank Warren, Roc Nation and Al Haymon all tried to sign Rigondeaux but the negotiations fell apart...because of caribe.

That's what I meant I worded it wrong.
