HBO officially drops Rigo

I don't think Floyd's fights have been more action filled then Rigos? Politics in boxing is so frustrating

Hbo is dumbing it down to the point of mental retardation ffs. Somewhere Lampley is doing cartwheels and I told ya so. He's to busy dropping bullshit like "many insiders have likened Glen Tapia to a Arturo Gatti " ...who? You?...right before he goes and gets beat to a bloody pulp...by another 'network darling' who we all know is a ko waiting to happen. Don't be a sucker. Hbo can blow me.

Yup. It's politics. What Rigo should do is continue to unify the titles... someone has titles. Someone. Someone who people want to see. Fight them, and only them. Then HBO has to put you on the TV.

Floyd isn't consistently boring like Rigo though. He's been in some exciting scraps in his last few fights against Cotto and Mosley where he was the aggressor..

You are right. Rigo has to take the Hopkins route. Just keep winning until he can't be denied.

But at least he got the second oppurtunity on hbo, but I'm not sure he helped himself to shine either if we're honest. I think Hbo is equallt to blame for its half ass promotion and a polished push on Rigo. They brought Agbeko straight off the rust bin, no co feature, rebuild etc and relied on his previous all out approach, reputation. Hbo is and always has been so damn full of itself, its flavor of the month and more than a few rushed products. I look forward to Showtime enjoying an expanding future.
