    My point is; they say Rigo isn't a big draw,but neither is mathebula .They both have a belt, one is in south Africa under other promoter,the other one is in town under the same promoter. Why will you pick the one far away? The less known by the US audience ? Rigo has been in ppv cards and national tv. He was on national tv on his first pro fight!

    You missed my point. You can't say Rigo should have not taken Methebula because he is not a big draw even if it was competitively made sense because that is the same excuse Donaire is using vs Rigo. Not a big draw but competitively makes sense.

    I am on the side that Donaire should face Rigo but you can't turn around say "Methebula makes no sense for Rigo".


    We will see. I mean there are a lot of examples where a fighter "ducked some one but end up facing better challenges.

    I mean look how many people ducked Soto ;)

    Who said anything about Rigo and math? It's about Nonito picking math instead of Rigo, read again.

    Arum is setting Rigo up to take the division by moving Nonito up. Be patient my friend. Rigo's time is soon. :yep
