This isn't going to bump the Caballero/Haskins fight is it? Hope not.

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.

WarFrancisco! End this Rigo train!

Very happy to know that Rigo is gonna go the Roc Nation Sports way.

Dude is genius, he deserves more exposure and good paydays.
