    Where is the massive Cuban support that will force Arum to notice Rigondeaux as a player?

    I don't know where are u from, but Mexicans and ricans appreciate good boxing no matter where is from
    Where was Duran massive Panamanian support? It's about boxing fans, I support Cubans but watch boxing every weekend no matter who fights and I'm big fan of PAC ,cotto,Marquez ,Martinez ..I'm a boxing fan, are you.?

    A boxer- specially if not mexican or boricua-needs to be promoted,Its crazy that someone with Rigo's skills last year only fought once,unbelievable how he went to San Diego and was ignored by the press and his own promoter.
    out of miami cubans are just a few,what do you want? move cubans to Nevada? to New Mexico?.

    But like you said, Mexicans and Ricans appreciate good boxers regardless of where they're from so obviously there is something about Rigondeaux that doesn't seem to appeal to them. Why do you think it is?

    because they don't know him, because the only big fight Rigo was involved with was the Cordoba fight, his worse.Nobody knows of when he KO Landeros giving away 7 lbs at the weigh in and KO him with a beautiful 1st rd body shot, nobody saw the casey demolition in 1 rd.His promotion against Rico sucks,nobody went to watch the fight( and Rico is puertorrican)only hard core fans saw it on TV.He doesn't speak english,like Duran,Tito,Chavez- he needs help by his promoter.But the promoter just feel safe with the ones with a secure fan base because rather not to spend money on promoting him.
    Gamboa for example,has been more exposed and everybody likes him( except chronic haters)and he didn't have to wave a mexican flag.Because he is good, and either mexicans,ricans,phillipines( not *******s) can appreciate it.
    If Rigo won't fight Donaire,OK, let him fight on HBO against Marquez or Nishioka or Vasquez Jr anybody else, but for god sake, such a talent just sitting there ,begging for a ****ing fight is just sick.

    And why is Gamboa enjoying more exposure than Rigondeaux, despite coming from similar backgrounds and having the same English handicap? Because Gamboa brings excitement to most of his fights, which brings the fans. If Rigondeaux cannot see this, he will never get the big fights he wants. Pacquaio is acutely aware of what the public really wants, which is a good fight. He is willing to take punches from his opponents, even if he doesn't have to, to entertain the audience. Thats why he's a top draw in boxing.

    Gamboa was coming from a huge promotion in germany-courtesy of Oner and arena-he landed one or 2 fights on espn and was already in HBO against Darling Jimenez,where he didn't win by KO and tasted the canvas himself but boxed good enough for a wide UD.People could appreciate he had the tools to be a legit champ and since then has been with HBO.
    Rigo had to deal with the management fight b/w Hyde and Oner, inactive for too long, then sent to wild card where he didn't feel good.Then back to Miami, looking for fights-had to go Ireland to get a decent fight.And believe me,as good as gamboa is, Rigo is a superior boxer.

    Of course Rigondeaux is a better boxer to Gamboa but the German promotion did nothing for him here. The Klitchkos are the best HW with massive German promotion but US promoters won't even touch them. The fact is, its not enough to be a skilled fighter, you have to be a good entertainer like Gamboa, Donaire, Pacquaio etc. Rigondeaux may be better than Gamboa but Gamboa is who people want to see and that is what counts, not crying and begging for matches.

    and what is he suppose to do? stay silent and fighting once a year?, he doesn't have a promoter getting him good fights, or letting people know about him.Only resource is promoting himself with the help of the immediate people surrounding him.Make some noise.And seize the opportunity.
    The problems with the Klits is that they don't have any challenge at HW, fights are not interesting and the outcome is well known.When Wlad vs Haye came up HBO was there and the end was another boring fight.Its why we don't get tomorrow vital vs chisora
