Any news on Rigo?

[WesternChamp]

I'd say giving a man three inches taller, and about 10+ pounds heavier, a broken eye socket and a pumpkin face, is more devastating than KOing him, because it was a sustained beating. The only thing that stunk the place up, was probably you crapping your draws when you lost your cash betting on Donaire.

yeah if you were fighting for free. LOL

when people pay to see a fight, they want excitement.

We can discuss without you lying.

lol nice job posting a story that took place a year AFTER Arum offered Avalos. The offer came in 2013 BEFORE Agbeko, but you post an article from a year later? lol whatever clown.....

Link it, fool. All this is beside the point anyhow as Agbeko is better than Avalos.

Agbeko was a good fight on paper, he always brung it. Nobody knew he would pull a Clottey.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret cause I really dunno you and I don't want any problems with you, I'm Cuban and I actually enjoy Rigo. I was just messing around.

That being said, I don't blame Arum and the media 100% for whatever smear campaign they ran. Rigo was also at fault for not performing when he needed to.

Also, there's a common trend with Cuban fighters. They normally end up in some managerial/promotional rift and it's most likely cause they aren't familiar with the system and since they come from poverty and most likely are just quick to sign the dotted line without any knowledge. So I don't think he's ******. Just not knowledgeable enough.

Peace my dude, I aint startin no problem wit you, just debating. Now how is "not performing" when he knocked down nonito, lumping him up and won the fight? Plus that Asian dude he fought, didn't the Asian dude Knock Rigo. down and Rigo lumped him up the rest of the fight? But as soon as bob says it was "boring" its the same exact thing fans, certain commentators and journalist repeat....bob is hurting a man that puts his life in the ring on the line. To me it would be personal if I was a pro under bob I would have some words for him and fire his ass. After all who is the REAL boss? You not the promoter. Fighters and fans need to wake up like Floyd did...

Again, haters don't make sense. Rigondeaux, like Ward, and Cotto, has a contract with Roc Nation. They pay him a certain amount. Instead of trying to spread rumors, why not educate yourself about what you try to discuss, instead of looking ******?

Contract or no contract, no one with TV behind them is going to put Rigondeaux at the forefront because the money isn't coming in to Rigo.

Have him travel around the world, work with making the fights economically viable for whomever is willing to put up the money, and then come back to TV with a story that can be sold. lol

[Scipio2009]

That's what I've been saying all along. Arum was full of ****, there were guys wanting to fight Rigs. Roc Nation is similarly squandering what is left of Rigs career though.

Rigondeaux is going to be the chief support on Miguel Cotto's next fight card, putting his purse in his pocket and giving him a chance to feature on a pretty meaningful TV spot.

Roc Nation is working with what they've got, especially under the likelihood that Rigondeaux isn't willing to take shorter money.

[Scipio2009]

here's the thing though, bob has been matching him up with b level fighters, so shouldnt that make it easier for him to put on a good show then?

The ability is of no consequence; for Rigondeaux to be watchable for a non-hardcore fan, he's got to be matched against fighters willing to bring the fight to him.

Rigondeaux is pretty awe-inspiring when he gets the chance to play the matador; slipping just off of a shot, countering with sharp skills, etc. Put a matador in their with something other than a bull, and the matador doesn't look all that impressive

I was talking after the Donaire win.

The Asian (assuming you're talking about Amagasa) dude was off TV therefore when it didn't count. Nobody watched that ****. Was the Francisco fight even televised? Then you have the ****ens fight which was also not televised.

He's damaging/stopping fighters when it doesn't count (off TV).

It wasn't Hagler vs Hearns, but it also wasn't a boring fight. Similar to how Golovkin vs Jacobs, wasn't boring, or how Kovalev vs Ward wasn't boring. Some of you are just haters lol.

Rigondeaux should have signed with Haymon, instead of Roc Nation. Roc Nation has him fighting once a year. He doesn't need to wait until Cotto fights again. Hopefully Haymon puts it on Showtime or a PBC show. Flores is a Haymon fighter.
