    He was training in MEX & defected...

    Probably fight at 118-122

    Who signs him? DaZn? Goldenboy? TopRank?

    Does his style translate to pros?

    How soon can he fight for a belt?

    Can he have early success like Loma?

    Good thing is hes only like 24/25

    I think he’ll sign with Golden Boy, if he decides to stay in Mexico. Canelo will play a role in his recruitment.

    Meanwhile, I don’t think Top Rank has a good shot...especially if Rigo can get close enough to influence Ramirez’s decision.

    DAZN is not feasible at this time, due to geography.

    Roebisy shouldn't sign with Toprank

    They treated Rigo HORRIBLE

    Rigondeaux and Gamboa signed with Top Rank and their careers started well, Rigo even got a star opponent in Donaire and headlined his own card after that. After they left Top Rank their careers went downhill.

    I bet they now regret leaving Arum.

    Regardless, I'm sure you'll search for things to ***** about when he does fight.

    Rigo and Gamboa were hot when they were with TopRank - fell off hard after leaving.

    Anyways, pretty sure that TR is out of the business of trying to promote Cubans. Not sure GoldenBoy is lining up for it either.

    Best of signing with the Japanese if he's fighting at 118.

    Great recommendation of signing with the Japanese. Lots of opponents in Asia and they’ll treat him very well over there.

    Top rank bad mouthed rigo after he beat one of arums favorites in donaire. What kind of promoter does that to his own fighters? I suggest he signs with anyone not named top rank.

    That's one fighter PimpC. Not to mention, I got the impression it was out of frustration. We both know Rigo has had some opportunities to shine. And Instead he often bored the crowds to the point HBO didn't want anything to do with him. What Arum should have done is just drop Rigondeaux.

    So that's ONE fighter. Has he badmouthed Lomachenko? Crawford? Parker? Horn? Ramirez? No. Just the one who stunk up the joint, blew opportunities to shine.

    Maybe because Rigondeaux was boring as ****? Ramirez is an offensive minded fighter, he has nothing to be afraid of.

    There's situation with Ramirez right now since it seems that he has a penal case open in Cuba for an assault.

    Forgetting to mention that Arum ran off Gamboa by basically attempting to force him to jump two weight classes to fight a huge weight cutting Bam Bam Rios. That was the final straw for Gamboa.
