He gave him two straight slots on HBO as the headliner. Once against Donaire, and then the 2nd time against Agbeko. He tried giving Rigo advice explaining to him that professional boxing is about entertaining.
He went into Rigo's dressing room before the Agbeko fight and told him he needed to perform. Told him that HBO was not too keen on having him on their network and he needed to perform. So what did this moron do? Despite Arum's pleas, he puts on a half arse performance, did not give a damn what Arum said, and had half the crowd and half the TV audience tune out of the fight before it even concluded. This is what enraged Arum! This is why Arum will refuse to work with him again.
I wouldn't be surprised if people from Roc Nation are just as angry with Rigo now. Once again he was given a golden opportunity to perform on a huge PPV, with a give me opponent and he gave his patented half arse performance.
