Why does HBO refuse to air Rigdoneaux but will air Crawford?

    Top Rank's just as much to blame. They were offering HBO **** fights or no fights at all and then trying to shift the blame. They were likewise hellbent on having Crawford on this card even though it's taking place in Florida.

    Rigondeaux completely neutralizes fighters with his amazing footwork. Crawford is standing right in front of Klimov and Klimov won't take chances. Crawford vs Ray Beltran would be a good fight in my opinion.

    Because Rigo humiliated one of Arum's cash cow. Rigo hurt the Bobfather in the wallet. YOU DON'T DO THAT if you're under TR. Honestly, I don't think Rigo followed the script. I've never seen a fighter's promoter criticize him like Bob did to Rigo after a one-sided schooling.

    Crawford did what he had to do but hopefully the rediculous hype that was surrounding him will die down a little bit.

    "Probably the best lightweight in the world"

    :roll:

    I think it was actually pretty insulting how much HBO were bigging this guy up, pretty much dismissing most of the other lightweights entirely at times it seems (apart from Broner of course)

    Crawford didn't down right humiliate a cash cow.

    Great point, Ray Beltran would be very active against Crawford, and he would make him work.

    I was thinking about that during the fight and this is not a knock on Crawford he has a real good future but Rigo is really getting treated like **** Rigo should try to sign with GBP when his contract ends anyone know when that is?

    The answer to this question is '**** knows'

    This is what I think as well. Donaire was supposed to fill Pacquiao's place as the top rank money fighter and Rigo threw a wrench in the works. I'll be happy when that old ******* dies.
