Caribe would probably want $70 of that. And then also expect someone else to promote the card for them.

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.

Arums handling of Rigo was fkn awful. He completely threw him under a bus.

[aboutfkntime]

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

Arum completely threw Rigo under a bus.

He publicly criticized Rigo to the networks, to his own people, and to the fans.

And we all know why.

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

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.

I will pay $100 for this fight, no problem!

You guys were obviously paying attention.

Arum completely threw Rigo under a bus.

I remember the Rigo-Agebko fight very clearly, it was actually Agbeko's fault the fight was boring. He didn't want to take any chances, not Rigo. Rigondeaux threw nearly 900 punches in that fight. Agbeko threw 349 and was the one scared to death to engage after getting caught early. He didn't want anymore and he went into survival mode.

Oh man, Rigo threw like 700 of those flicky non-existent jabs, he was really trying you guys!

In terms of power punches Rigo did about as much as Agbeko.

Edit: Lol, Rigondeaux landed 144 punches in the entire fight, the genius threw nearly 900 punches and landed 144, not even 100 more than Agbeko.

You're correct, but he was active. He was trying to lure Agbeko but he was not having any of it. Rigo caught him good in the beginning rounds and Agbeko just got scared after. Iirc it was an uppercut that went right through the guard. Rigo had no choice but to chase and jab the guy, and Agbeko was avoiding any confrontation with him after that head snapping uppercut. Either way you slice it, 800+ punches is a lot. That sounds like a fighter who was trying to make the other guy throw, not a counterpuncher. When was the last time you saw a counterpuncher throw 850 punches, regardless of how many jabs. You don't see Mayweather, Marquez, Hopkins, Wlad, Ward throw any where near 800 punches. That was Rigo trying to answer to HBO and Arum but his dance partner wasn't having any of it.

There were no 800 punches, that bullsht jab that Rigo uses to bait you is not a punch.

Cause Agbeko was avoiding him. He was covering up like Clottey did with Pacquiao. Look how many punches Pac landed on Clottey. 246 of 1231, and half of them were jabs. Who's fault was that, it was Clottey who laid an egg. Agbeko did the same thing, he didn't want ot engage with Rigo.
