It's because the casual fans bring in money and not the hardcore fans.

That's just the way the game is and you have to accept these rules. If you want to be the A-side and dictate things you need to be exciting either inside or outside of the ring. Everyone who knows anything about boxing knows this and boxers get in the sport of pro boxing with that knowledge. It's stupid to complain about it when these are the basic rules of the game since day one. It's ridiculous when guys like Rigo suddenly act like they're shocked and surprised because they're not draws when they have the style that puts people to sleep.

Also, Rigo and plenty of Latin American boxers can't speak English yet expect to be some sort of stars in the USA? How hard it is to learn a language especially when you live in that country? Look at Loma improving his English, Kovalev learned it very quickly, GGG isn't that bad either.

Eastern Europeans know that you need to learn the language of the fanbase you box in front of and you need to come in the ring to KRUSH people.

Kovalev, GGG and Loma did everything they can to be draws in boxing in the USA. They didn't become the A-level draws yet but at least they're trying and they do have some fanbase in boxing community. Rigo didn't do **** and acts entitled.

This really isn't true. Football teams get slated for using negative tactics all the time with the successful ones under a huge amount of pressure to entertain.

Pretty much any sport I can think of demands exciting play of ta top stars be it tennis or snook. They all call for some pizazz. From baseball to the NFL nobody wants to watch a negative, low scoring team.

I disagree on your NFL claims, I think people don't want to see bad teams in prime time. I guess I'm just different then everyone else, I love a good 13-6 scrap in football. I love watching teams, or boxers, bite down and pull miracles out of their ass. I don't mean to disrespect anyone that sees it differently.

Loma has a much more pleasing style to watch than Rio

Rigo can't attract fans

My first paragraph was referring to what you prob call soccer although it applies to the NFL too.

If Manchester United, Real Madrid or Barcelona start grinding out 1-0 wins every week best believe they'd get plenty of criticism.

I don't feel bad for Rigo, and I do please allow me to explain. He's more avoided than GGG, that sucks as a fellow competitor. You always wanna fight the best. Why I don't feel bad, his lack of finishing a guy when he has he fight won. Also he's been offered career defining fights and turned them down. If you don't have fans and you are offered a fight with Loma or any cash cow. If you truly believe in your skills you fight point blank period. Rigo is a fck boy
