Just hypothetical because this is what I assume is the issue with LSC fighting Rigo.

He probably doesn't want to fight Rigo because Rigo has had people booing him and leaving the arena out of bordem. We can all agree that Rigo is a high risk opponent. Since there will be less viewers, that means less money. Meaning you will most likely lose and won't be well compensated. Losing isn't that bad? In today's boxing it is. If he loses, his stock drops tremendously, he'll have to rebuild it and his reputation will be tarnished. Nothing good came for Donaire after losing to Rigo, nothing good will come for LSC after losing. So where's the motive?

Do I agree with this? Hell no. I want to see them fight. I don't care who wins or how much they get paid, I just want to know who's the best. But I'm not the one risking my life or my career to find out. Since it's his profession and we are essentially his providers, we have every right to criticize if the fight falls through but I won't criticize off of my assumption.

I'm betting he has his doubts, but a scientist wants to get paid for his research. A technician wants to get paid for his time. A boxer wants to get paid for the work. That's what I ASSUME is the issue. I assume he feels the risk isn't worth the reward he's being offered. Would I call him a coward for this? No. This is his profession, professionals seek compensation. It sucks for us, and ultimately it's his own legacy he will tarnish. His loss I suppose.

he's hurting his career by not fighting the best like you said his legacy.him losing to rigo would not mean the end of his career donaire become champion at featherweight after losing to rigo so I wouldn't say nothing good came of it.leo is an exciting fighter right so he would get another shot even if he lost like ruslan.yes boxing is a profession but you wont get any money from me or other fans if you choose to fight nothing but stiffs.
