    "B, b, but nobody will fight him!" everyone yelled in defense of their favorite fighters...

    "He doesn't deserve to fight anymore, he's so boring!" everyone yelled in an attempt to discredit their least favorite fighters.

    Well. Which is it?

    Well can it not be both. Nobody will fight Rigo because there is no money in it as TV companies don't want him because he's boring. Listen to HBO's commentary on his last fight. HBO don't seem too eager to have him back do they?

    I guess it's just unfortunate for him that he didn't get the Andre Berto Treatment or the Gennady Golovkin Treatment from HBO.

    What have I been saying forever that some folk refuse to see and accept despite all but acknowledging themselves... all boxers/promoters/managers weigh RISK vs. REWARD for every fight. And it explains why some of the most talented fighters don't get great opponents when their fanbase doesn't generate the revenue to warrant the risk of losing to them. Simple as that.

    he didn't get the berto or ggg treatment because they are exciting fighters and people want to watch them. boxing is a business and a tv station isn't going to throw money and opportunites at a boxing who cant draw flies to **** and sticks the place out at every opportunity

    I know this. Whoever wins out of Frampton and Quigg have two mandatories to fight within 90 days, the IBF have ordered Wake for a 75/25 split in the champs favor, the WBA have ordered Rigo, for a 55/45 split in Rigo's favor. At those splits if I was the promoter of Frampton/Quigg, I'd tell them to bin the WBA, because they'd likely make a lot more from the Wake fight and even if they beat Rigo, outside of hardcore fans, nobody would give a turd.

    True. I think his fight with Agbeko did record low numbers and the fights on the undercard even did better.

    Advertisers and sponsors won't be interested in a fight with Rigo on the card if nobody is watching

    the wba ordering a mandatory cracks me up, they let ward go 7 years without facing a mandatory
