Have you ever seem a promoter shelf a fighter for beating another fighter?

[Robbie Barrett]

I don't know how you can call yourself a fan o boxing and not want to watch one of the most skilled fighters ever to grace the ring.

[Vadrigar.]

He's simply unprofitable...

He speaks no English at all, no charisma due to language barrier

He fights in a baby weight division

He puts viewers to sleep

He literally has no fan base besides a handful of Cubans

He's so unlikable that Jim Lampley tried to get Bob Bennet to DQ him on the spot on live national TV.

Hahahahahahaha any footage of this?

[Vadrigar.]

Arum got so pissed Rigo dominated Donaire that he publicly trashed him and then basically shelved the guy..I have never seen this before..The guy dominates everyone he faces and his promoter gets pissed about it

Don king walking over Berbick after he lost to Tyson.

[DeadLikeMe]

So u really think Arum was mad Rigo beat Donaire? That's the reason EVERYBODY keeps turning their back on him? Cause he beat Donaire?

U really believe that?

He wasn't given chance after chance?

U really believe that?

Great talent but what a boring fighter. That is the reason why ALL promoters and network dont want nothing to do with him.

Not cause he beat Donaire...

If they got rid of every division south of 126 it would be a good move for boxing. Rigo or Loma would emerge as the king of babbyweight.

[Sup]

Hahahahahahaha any footage of this?

It was on the HBO PPV feed.

[Teetotaler]

So everybody is against Rigo... Its not his fault... Its Arum fault... Lol... What a dumb thread again. Rigo had his chance many times. I remember when he fought the Filipino fisherman (no joke.. he really was a fisherman) on the Canelo-Cotto undercard. That sh#t was so boring it was unbelievable.

Stop playing the victim role... They tryna keep a brotha down yo. STFU

Lol i was so pissed about that fight. He failed to impress and just put people to sleep. He only has himself to blame.
Er i mean he didnu nuffin

[DoktorSleepless]

In what way did he shelf Rigo? He fought twice on HBO the year he beat Donaire, which is normal for Top Rank fighters. And then released him after a final fight in 2014. This all while paying Rigo's minimum of $500k per fight.

Since leaving Arum, Rigo has fought once per year, while getting paid waaaay less than what Arum paid him. If anything, Rigo shelved himself after Top Rank kept him active.

U really believe that?

Yeah that's f**king laughable. A promoter isn't in this **** to be a fan, lol. And then get subsequently butthurt about it if a guy he likes loses. Are you kidding me with that?? A promoter is in it for one singular reason...money. That's all a promoter sees. Profit margin. If Rigondeaux was making Bob money then Bob would've wanted him. End of story.

And for the record I think Rigondeaux is fantastic myself and I have always enjoyed watching him work.

But the notion that Bob was mad at him because he beat Donaire...lol.

What a promoter should have said after Rigo schooled a top 5 P4P fighter...

"This guy is amazing. Incredible. P4P no.1 in the world. Better than Floyd mayweather (name drop). Amazing skills. Did you know he was the greatest amateur ever?"

What Arum said...

"That was ****ing boring" [paraphrase]

I dont care what his real opinion was he bull****s all thr time. He let down his fighter after that match.
