Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: Roc Nation Backing Me, Next Fight Will Be Big

[Guest]

Next guy he fights he's got to ktfo.

There should be no way a guy he is leagues above lasts the distance with him.

Age might be creeping up on him. He seemed a little gun shy last fight.

One ko and he's back in the mix.

I don't think guys fear him like they used to.

He'll get fights if his team don't **** it up.

The radar has picked up a bunch of haters. Rigondeaux will destroy any oponnent in his division moreover Roc Nation will bank with this kid. Haters on 3,2,1....

Loma going up to 130 to fight walters...a Rigo fight wont happen, goibg up then down in wt is discouraged in boxing

Yeah that is very true. Well that once again leaves Rigo in a tough spot and he is not getting any younger unfortunately

Boring will never be a PPV material.

I see Rigo vs Frampton going in the same direction as Khan vs Garcia II where Frampton vacates and moves up in weight for LSC when I think he should stay in his weight limit but I also look at this like Rigo has limited options he could face Russell Jr Donaire or try to get the winner of Lomachenko vs Walters fight

No 122 pound fighter is ppv in america.

Don't single out rigo

Rigo has had one of the most intriguing career ever for a boxer. Even though he's a two time gold medal winner, 16-0 10KOs, which is 65% Ko rate, he's considered "boring". If we took one thing from Floyd it was that you can be a defensive, boring fighter and still sell- all you need is a strong team behind you. After Rigo beat up on Arum's cash cow donaire, this whole notion that he's a boring fighter was made up by Arum and the media and fans ate it up. If Rigo gets with a team that REALLY back him and gets him the big fights, he'll be considered top 3 P4P and would finally gain that star appeal that his skill set demands

These all sound great but remember Frampton is now being advised by Haymon- no way will Haymon and roc nation work together. Loma vs Walter winner would be ideal for me, but will Arum negotiate a fight with a fighter he pushed out his stable? Seems like the only for sure way for Rigo to get a big fights is if rock nation forks up a huge purse these other top fighters can't turn now..kinda like what GGG tried to do with Saunders and offer up 3 mills which is over 3x more what Saunders will get for fighting those domestic bums

I agree but now Frampton vs LSC is set to take place sometime in June which I'm like ok but I would of definitely wanted to see Frampton vs LSC and Saunders should of took the fight with Golovkin for April 30 it made sense because this happened when Khan faced Algeri and brook faced Gavin very sad for the sport

I don't understand this guy.
He should be anxious to get back into the ring against anybody.
Seems he just wants to wait for that one big fight rather than work for it.

Say what you will about GGG, but at least the guy stays active. He doesn't wait around for the big fights, his building his own brand, filling arenas and exciting the fans.

Rigo could do something similar but instead he chooses to sit around and complain.
