Caismero always talks like that. I don't know if he's either getting to the opponents head or he's just hyping the match up to sell it to the fans. Or he did it for both reasons.
I've read somewhere,
(maybe here or some articles?) that according to Casimero's camp, his trashtalk is a way to promote the fight because Casimero itself doesn't know if he can generate good revenues from PPV or ticket sales. Maybe the majority of his fight wasn't able to yield good revenue. To confirm it
(which I doubt sales aren't good) I will try to search for it or if anyone has statistics for it, I will be glad if it will be shared here.
No problem for trashtalks as long as he can prove it on the ring. It's just that it's unusual to see a PH boxer doing some trashtalk.
Casimero just trying to do everything to sell his fight, boxing is not forever, he understands that so he needs to do everything so his income will maximize before the time will come that he will retire. He has not made a lot of money in boxing yet, and he is in his prime now, so it's just right to promote his fight.
Maybe some do not like his style, but it's him, if we support our fighters, we should also promote him.
Pacquiao and Casimero are different in their style but their wins bring pride to our country.
Casimero has not lost a fight since 2018, and he is still young at 32 years old, so I will never doubt betting on him even if he will be listed as underdog in this fight. After his win in his last fight, this is the statement of Casimero.

“Ayoko na lumaban ng maliit na kita. Kung maliit lang na kita, hindi na ako maglalaro,” said Casimero during Tuesday’s PSA Forum webcast.
This means he wants big fights that will generate big money, and he needs to sell the fight to generate big money.
Rigondeaux is a good opponent, he is a champion so probably it will also bring big money to the fight, but the biggest in the division is Inoue, so he needs to take care of the business by beating Rigondeaux.
