LOL. Signs a guy drawing huge at home and puts where none ever heard of him vs a taco seller. Makes sense.

[Greed.]

Texas!? Surely Boston makes the most sense.

Never heard of the guy. Showcase for Frampton in America seemingly.

#13 in the IBF

Thanks for the correction, just went to their site and saw it. I use Fight News and their IBF rankings had someone else at #13, weird. Well, at least he's ranked. Frampton will blow this dude out, then fight a higher-ranked IBF opponent, and then will probably face LSC.

Probably this.
He needs a good introduction fight to AMerica fans I don't know why in Texas though. Maybe it's a long term strategy. I think Haymon is aiming to make LSC vs Mares fight and he wants to match up Frampton against the winner of that one therefore he introduce him the latin-american crowd not the Boston/NY, etc... one so Frampton's name will be more well known amongst latino fans --> Mares/LSC vs Frampton will be bigger.
And I guess after that he will sign Rigo in September, gets him a same type of tune up and then he will math him with the winner of Frampton vs LSC/Mares.
It would be good if this would come through.
