Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux-Francisco Looms For Cotto vs. Canelo Card

[Gentblue]

So he gets his WBA title back. Good

But what does this mean of the WBC title, I hope they still give him a shot at it... The WBC is the only title that lets other champs be mandos.... Wish more would do that.

Holy crap an actual good move for Rigondeaux? This can't be reality. Hopefully the next fight is for the WBC belt early in 2016

Good for Rigo

[BOXEO _]

Yes, but that fight is going to be streamed prior to ppv on YT or Ring website , I think it'll have to be confirmed if this goes through but should be watchable somehow

Caballero/Haskins will be on the streaming portion of the show, I think. Golden Boy and Roc Nation have an agreement that allows for a certain number of PPV spots for each side's fighters. So, unfortunately we're stuck with a bad fight from Roc Nation instead of a good fight (Caballero/Haskins). At least it's Rigo, even if it is a mismatch. It could be worse; I actually expected a no-name Cotto Promotions guy.

Smdh, I guess no card is perfect. Damn shame.

1 week notice for a televised PPV slot though?

Good for rigondeaux if he signs with roc nation. Rigo is ring rusty , almost a year without a fight but he has no choice to take it . He must win it no matter what .

Hit and not be hit ; you can not hit what you don't see .

Thank you jayz

Francisco is an ordinary, blown up 115 pounder and certainly doesn't deserve a shot at Rigo's world title. But any fight for Rigo at this point is good. Hate to see a great fighter sit around inactive. Hopefully the Frampton-Quigg winner will step up to the plate!

Well Rigo got those title and none want it, so...

But what is to expect with a week notice.

Hopefully Jay Z get Rigo fights.

[Bardock]

So is anybody going to bring up the fact Rigo ducked Rey Vargas for the WBC eliminator?

Terrible news following the great news that Andre Ward was out of the PPV.
Having the line-up of the original three fights was too good to be true I suppose.
