    Rigondeaux-Ramos at the Palms had 375 tix sold for a gate of $14,525.
    Theres no money in this fight Nonito. He'd be an idiot to fight him.
    Cubans just dont support thier fighters.

    WTF!? Are you serious? No love for Rigo? Dayum. If or when he fights Nonito I'll probably go see that one and I aint Filipino or Cubano. That's pretty sad.

    He can fight top contenders too. Which is actually what MOST guys do for their careers once they're beltholders.

    Rigo just won his belt. And I have no problems if Donaire or Vasquez Jr fought him next. But he should not act like he's entitiled to the winner.

    And none of those guys I mentioned are tune ups BTW.

    Montiel and Mijares are shot and too little.
    He doesn't think he's entitled to nothing , he just want to fight the best.
    Can u other champs willing to fight the best? Boxing is so contaminated that we keep forgetting about it.( canelo vs cintron, jcc jr vs manfredo)

    I expect this kind of behavior from casual fans but not Donaire. Kind of embarrassing. Real warriors don't play the blame game. They man up and agree to fight all the tough guys - whoever comes first gets it. The thing with Rigo calling out Donaire (instead of Nishioka) is nobody thinks Nishioka is better than Donaire. That said, Rigo is doing the right thing.

    Donaire should care less about accusing someone else of ducking Nishioka and focus on beating Nishioka himself to establish himself as the #1 guy in the division.

    I'd pick Donaire but Rigo is definetly as worthy as anyone for a Donaire fight right now and presents a bigger challenge than anyone below 122

    Make the fight happen. Nishioka vs Donaire vs Arce is better than them fighting Rigo.

    No offense to Rigo but he still has to make a name out of himself first unless he wants to follow other name fighters who is now under the shadow of their former self. Where the hell is Lopez?

    Donaire would knock Rigo out. Doubt if Rigo will ever fight Donaire..............

    Rigondeaux has no fan base. NONE.

    Meh Donaire will take him on eventually, it's just general banter between boxers.

    even cubans think rigondaeux isn't worth buying a ticket..

    now Gamboa? at least you'll see Miami SoundMachine supporting this worthy fighter.

    Would love to see Donaire-Gamboa.

    Who wouldn't? Oh, those who think Rigondaeux is a better matchup and a better fiight..:roll:
