Rigo skips media day

[john l]

People have to remember that Rigo has been close to 122 lbs or below since he started boxing even though his body weight should be higher.

As you've mentioned, once the body acclimatize's with added muscle and bulk to it, its very hard to get off no matter what you do especially at 36 years old.

His team made the mistake of over bulking Rigo to 140 lbs and then removing it rather then just moving up slowly from 122 lbs.

Again where are you getting this???????

[Loque-san]

Did Rigo or anyone from his team complain about the lack of promotion for this fight?

[pesticid]

Well, yeah, I don’t blame him. You want to start promoting now? Lol

Exactly! Why is he going to promote anything for Arum or ESPN, they are the ones that got him blacklisted and asked him to move up 2 divisions to fight their # 1 p4p fighter. This is not a pay per view fight and if they didn't bother to have the press conferences in his contract, screw them!

ESPN also opted to represent Conlan and Shakur Stevenson....but they be about branding boxing doe....

You wouldn't think so, but plenty of fighters have run into issues when going up in weight because they bulk up, and find their body isn't reacting the same as what they're used to. Especially if the weather is changing as it is now and their immune system is weak.

GSP just make his UFC comeback at a higher weight class than usual and reported all sort of issues in the week leading up to the fight. Said he he couldn't even hydrate normally and that might not fight at that weight again.
It happens.

heard a new thing about gsp recently ..he has some severe **** going on with his insides or something ...possibly due to the weight cut from the bisping fight.

Yea, I actually don't think the chances of him having weight issues are likely. Rather, unlikely. But, it's a possibility and I'm curious if he's missing this because of some health concern. Or, if he's just being uncooperative. Which would really suck.

I've squarely blamed him and only him for his lack of popularity, being dropped by HBO, etc. He's finally getting another big fight. If he's ***ing this up, then goodriddance. I think he's the most talented boxer on the planet right now but if he's going to be a princess, *** him.

I do want to know what's really going on though.

You're the princess here, do you care about press conferences where neither fighters speaks English or do you care about the fight? You'll watch it anyway so stop acting all snotty

[RetroSpeed05]

I've actually heard it's Weight Issues.

Rigo is struggling to make 130 lbs so his team withdrew from Media Day to concentrate on bringing down his weight.

I know Rigo is a career 122lb fighter but his team bulked him up to 140 lbs and were planning to bring him down slowly this week to 130lbs but his body isn't responding and his team are now panicking as they don't want Rigo to have to lose lots of weight pre weigh-in.

Don't be surprised if Rigo doesn't make weight on Friday.

Wtf where did you hear this? That's crazy if Rigo doesn't make weight.

You're panicking because you know Rigo is about to lose (we all saw your "does size matter?" threads). I've been friendly to you in the past because I feel bad that no one respects Rigo anymore but do us all a solid, when Rigo loses this weekend, will you just go away?
You've proven that you'd suck the guy off if given the opportunity so don't bother people who are trying to have a reasonable discussion.

Wow, that's no joke. Was never a big fan but I respect the guy's talent and it's sad to hear on the wings of a big comeback.

This is often ignored, glad someone has said it.
