    Where is that article from?

    I heard Arum talking some **** about "every time I mention Rigo to HBO they vomit" or something like that.

    Arum is full of ****, Hershman is full of ****, or both. More inclined to believe it's just Arum at this point in time though.

    I think there are some internal issues at Top Rank, between them and Rigo, and it is spilling out to the networks.


    He is hardly given bouts, and when he puts on Masterclass performances they are considered "boring." What boxing fan calls Rigo boring?


    WTF

    Boxing like everything else is entertainment. It's not about QUALITY. Heck I remember idiots arguing Madonna was one of the greatest singers of all times because of her popularity way back when. Popularity = greatness nowadays.

    Why does HBO like banning people? The Klits were banned for a bit because HBO claimed no one could tell them apart. Next, the whole HW division was banned for bit. We all know about the entire GBP roster being banned. NOw Rigo is unofficiallly banned.

    Fan friendly to watch YES, with huge emphasis.
    Casual fan friendly to watch, perhaps.

    I think earlier someone posted a similar thread about Arum stating HBO is not televising Rigo fights and when the name got brought they wanted to puke. I'm not sure if this is true or not but if that is the case then it's a dame shame to put Rigo in back end because his style is boring. That boring style put a clinic on Donaire and Donaire couldn't do anything about it. I guess if your style is boring then your not getting televise since networks want's knockouts and wars. It's a dam shame what boxing is turning into since I appreciate all forms of styles but I guess when it comes to business and money the networks is going to do what's best !!!!
