Bob Arum is an idiot! If you dont know how to promote certain fighters let them go!!

Rigondeaux is one of the most talented fighters i have seen in a long time. He is probably one of the most skilled of the past 15 years and that is saying a lot for a guy with so few fights, but you dont get those amatuer and proo accolades with no skill. i have seen it for myself. Including of Ward, Mayweather, and Hopkins this guy is a master of his craft.

Arum in his comfy confines of being a promoter got used to a fighter having a certain demographic that sold. DLH was mexican-american, a heart throb, a puncher etc. so with or without Arum he was gonna be a huge draw. Same for Pacquiao who had a country on his back, a fan friendly style and heart and natural gifts.

How the hell do you have two skilled guys like Mayweather and Rigondeaux and hold them back or dont know what to do with them. Mayweather did everything he said he was gonna do when he left Arum. Break records, make absurd amounts of money, and fight Cotto, Mosley, DLH who Arum prevented him from fighting. G.R. has a decision to make.


If I am a true world champion, one of the most skilled in my sport, would I listen to a guy that has not been a fighter tell me to change what isnt broke? Hell no!!! I bet if he goes to Golden Boy or other top promo companies, they will promotes his skill, and class and not downplay him as being entertaining or not

Then Rigo needs to follow Mayweather's lead... why doesn't he just leave Arum then?

Dude Rigo is a defensive genius but he's not as fully rounded as Floyd, yes he is a defensive master but his punching accuracy isn't that great, unlike Mayweather.

being rich doesnt make you a genius.If you dont know how to do your job you been do successful doing, move on and let some one else do.


He isnt the only rich idiot, im sure you can name a few. I could care less about his wealth and success, he isnt the only reason why he has it.

I bet you would promote Rigondeaux better than he could. How can a promoter complain about doing what the name of their title entails....PROMOTE

Listen man, there is only so much he can do.

The weight class he competes in isn't that popular to begin with, and Rigo is no Mayweather, Mayweather attacks more and has a better offense than Rigo. If people like what they see with the dude they will pay to watch his fights it's that simple, if he's not getting big fights and big money then maybe he needs to change his fighting style.

Hmm yeah.... Lets act like Ringondaux doesn't have a minimum payout per fight, you know that in order for a business to be successful there needs to be a profit right? Now tell me how do you make a profit when you are paying someone who has no fans 500-700k for a non ppv fight.

Someones wealth is a indicator of the value that person offers to society in one way or another, if Arum is a idiot what are you? Call him an assshole, a mother****er, curse him all you want but an idiot he is not.

or he can be happy with his mandatory defenses, little pay and empty seats because of his style......

Arum needs to let the Cuban go. Let him fight where he always wanted to fight and do his own thing - at Friday Night Fights.

Schaefer needs to let Lara go, too, and all promoters need to let all the boring fighters of the world go. FNF is the right venue for these boxers.

"Lara is hard to sell" - Schaefer
