Comments Thread For: Arum Expects a Big Struggle To Promote Rigondeaux

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum expects a very big struggle in promoting WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0, 8KOs) because of his defensive style. On Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall, Rigondeaux knocked off Nonito Donaire with a twelve round unanimous decision. It was a huge win for the two-time Olympic gold medal winner, who has to be considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.

Arum seems pissed Rigo won. How long is he under contract? Is jump ship ASAP.

Arum, that's your problem.... deal with it.
How about you start making fights down in Miami with Gamboa?

Your a promoter Bob that has accomplished a lot. Embrace the challenge and get creative.

You put him with there against guys like Arce he will look like a power punching machine. You put him in there with guys that sit and wait on them he will pick them apart and it won't be very crowd pleasing.

Running the way he does made the fight unwatchable? Arum is a ****ing joke his comments on this fight are disgraceful.

well of course Arum wanted Donaire to win, from a business standpoint, he can make more money with Donaire as Champion so I understand that...but Rigondeaux is the BETTER FIGHTER, it still comes down to the SKILLS IN THE RING at the end of the day, You can promote and hype a fighter all you want but if he can't back it up in the ring then eventually he will get exposed

Arum figured Donaire would KO Rigo and didn't pay them. He paid the price for it.
