    Rigo doesn't have to be that boring he could throw just a little bit more.

    then match him with face first brawlers to get those TKO's and offer bonus for KO's.

    Funny he said the same thing about Floyd, and made this his excuses as of why he could not get Floyd any fights with top fighters.

    then why were the fans booing for 75% of the fight and Boxing writers calling it 'boring' in their articles today? For sure all those people can't be wrong right?

    Most of those boos were from Donaire fans who were upset with the fact that he was losing. Before the fight you could hear chants of, "Nonito! Nonito!"

    When Floyd was under Top Rank as a prospect Arum was more than enthused about Floyd's potential inside the ring - comparing his boxing skills to that of Ali and/or SRL if I'm not mistaken. Why isn't he excited about Rigo's boxing skills? I realize Floyd is an American and perhaps that helps his fanbase but still, his style of fighting isn't any more "exciting" than Rigo's. As a promoter it's your job to focus on Rigo's strong suits and he has plenty.

    Rigo should find a way to leave the old scumbag if Arum isn't going to put 100% effort into working with the Cuban. GBP is a much better place for Latin fighters.

    There is nothing more beautiful than a boxing clinic.

    You chincheckers are not boxing fans, so im not too concerned with your opinions.

    I am a fan of the sweet science but if he headlines another card with somebody not well known the numbers will be horrible in the arena and the viewership

    Styles make fights. Two counter-punchers doesn't often make for fireworks.
