First topic message reminder :

According to uncle bob arum, hbo do not want to show another rigondeaux fight, he reaches the end of his 3 fight deal with arum by supporting Chinese super bore Zao shiming. Ok I've given away my thinking on the topic, I think arum is blaming rigo for hbo not buying the card, whereas I'd think Zao as the headline act is closer to the truth.

Uncle bob, is willing to give rigo another contract if minimum purses are reasonable considering rigo's fights are unwatchable. He's also quite happy for him to head over to showtime and by extension goldenboy.

Is a move to goldenboy the right one? In the era of floyd mayweather can a u.s market for rigondeaux not be found? I believe bob doesn't appreciate him, is there a promotor out there that would? He has an Irish manager, should fast car Eddie swoop and remarket him as quiggs cousin, and get him in the mix with frampton and Barry chocolate?

Any thoughts the appreciation of Guillermo rigondeaux?

biggest thing in boxing for me is that i like to see 50/50 fights and guys with power where the fight can change in a single moment. thats where rigondeaux falls down for me, while i can appreciate his technical ability not sure where the massive fun is as a fan when you know exactly how the fight is going to pan out. someone like ward also suffers from none competitive fights

compelling and rich
