    obviously arum's point of view is, youre not only a fighter, youre also an entertainer.

    rigo has to find the right balance on both or find a medium to entertain else he wont command main billing and the perks that goes with it.

    bull****.

    he just needs to be matched appropriately. put him in with the same guys arum was feeding to donaire and rigondeaux looks spectacular.

    put him in with a guy like mares or santa cruz and we'll see him shine like the star that he is.

    arum painting rigondeaux boring is a distraction/excuse for not doing his job of promoting one of the top 3 boxers in all of boxing. talents like him do not come very often. it's a shame that hbo and arum have been shitting on this magnificent boxer.

    Good for Rigo! He is going to be left out without a fight until his contract expires.

    when the p4p number 3 or 4 guy goes completely gunshy and runs from you in the ring its hard to find someone who can make it an interesting fight with you

    he is far to talented for his own good

    If they say rigo doesnt bring any money, he's ducking. If he says he wants to fight Rigo he's lying.

    Sounds like a whole lot of bull**** to me.

    It's a disgrace. His promoters haven't a clue how to matchmake for him. Selecting Agbeko as an opponent was a joke

    And Rigo still managed to stink the whole place and bore the crap outta people by refusing to throw punches against an overmatched opponent. He has no excuse for not going for the KO against Agbeko. period

    Rigo is a smug twat who wants to run for the entire fight and throw punches as each of them cost him money, and then bitches because people find him boring. News flash: he is

    funny how he out landed and out threw the exciting p4p #3 or 4 nonito donaire. had him running in round 12.

    if you cant appreciate pure boxing then id say this sport is not for you. last time i went for a run i dont remember leaving people with busted up faces.
