Oscar wants Santa Cruz v Rigondeaux

De La Hoya: Santa Cruz vs. Rigondeaux Has To Be Made! - Boxing News

He describes it as "The Fight that has to be made"

A guy gets dizzy reading between the lines in that article. They could have summed it up in a word which immediately came to mind with the 3 million demand. Haymonomics.

Leo's own promoter will get stymied on this and for a guy that claims he wants the fight he does appear to be pricing himself out. That is Haymon's influence perhaps because he probably knows that Rigo eats Santa Cruz alive inside. They know full well how complete Rigo is.

If Rigondeaux is going to sign with this new rapper then Haymon isn't going to want anything to do with this fight no matter how much money Golden Boy come up with. Look what happened with Quillin and Korobov.

3 million?! Might as well just say no

3 million?! Might as well just say no

Seriously. He doesn't want to face Rigo. He'd prefer facing the level of opposition he's been facing for high six figures. What they'll do is fight Mares and not mention Rigo again.

I like Santa Cruz....but Rigo would school him and school him bad.

[La Cucaracha]

I'd like to see the fight happen but 3 mil? Spanner in the works right there

Three million No way this fight will happen, may as well say "Yeah I'd lose, and wouldn't take it unless it were for as much money as I could possibly make in the remainder of my prime". When was the last time anyone not named Mayweather, Pacquiao, or Klitschko made that for a fight anyways? Maybe Canelo against Floyd, or Marquez or something? Let alone a super bantamweight. What do they expect Rigo to take in that split, 500 grand to make it remotely possible? Joke.

I like Santa Cruz enough, he reminds me of a smaller Margarito with a bit more finesse, and I'd love to see him fight Rigo in fairness. But how the hell he could possibly win is beyond me, and his people obviously don't have much more confidence.
