Arum is a ****ing scumbag. He tried to feed Rigo to Donaire, only his plan backfired and Rigo beat the **** out of the flash. So now the sore octogenarian is taking it out on one of the most talented fighters to ever lace up the gloves.
He's 35 years old with 15 fights. Elite talent, but who cares? He is likely past his prime and has another year, maybe 2 at top level. Gargantuan waste.
I'm glad he's going to be on the card! For his own sake, I hope he takes risks in his fight and gives the casual fans something good to see.
Rigo with a 67% ko ratio is doing fine, instead of bashing him you should be calling all other champions running away from him.
There's few things I hate more in this sport than seeing fighters get punished for going against the script. Rigo is a classic case in a list too long to count. Imagine if, in college basketball, a community college with a great record managed to upset an unbeaten Kentucky and, instead of an NCAA tournament invite, they got snubbed. They're snubbed from the NCAA tourney and snubbed from the NIT as payback for messing things up for the house money. Only in boxing is that kind of injustice standard operating procedure. Makes me sick.
Umm being top 5-10 fighters in the division who command more self respect than to fight on one weeks notice maybe?! Seriously you think Shingo Wake, a man who would probably beat Frampton and Quigg, is going to say "yeah ok" and fight on one weeks notice? idiot.
Good post to all haters you are right is an insult to call a high ranked fighter with a short notice.
