    Rigondeaux's Next Fight

    Would Rigondeaux's next fight sell a lot better in Miami Fla, than in any other city/state? Would a unification bout between him and Johnathan Romero make sense in any possible way?

    Apparently his manager wants Carl Frampton. Fighting Romero would make sense for Rigondeaux, it would put another belt around his waist but I doubt either fight would make a lot of money. After fighting and beating Donaire either of those fights would be a step down in class imo.

    I am thinking maybe he should eye a fight at featherweight.

        A fight with Frampton or Quigg in UK would probably do well at the gates. It wouldn't be a whole lot of risk, Rigo would crush either of them.

              At least 54 or so if you count their cornermen who will also unfortunately fall asleep. Then 55 if you count me falling asleep reading about the fight.

                Rigo just beat a top P4P fighter at Radio City. You can believe that the Cuban community in Miami, who doesn't normally take note of Cuban defectors, has taken notice. Before Donaire, I would've said Guillermo draws flies. After Nonito, I believe a card can be built and sold in South Florida, with "El Chacal" as the headliner. Everyone loves a winner...everyone.

                  His management said he will not be fighting at 126. They said he was fought at 122 for the last 10years and has no plans what so ever in moving up.

                  I say he gets the rest of belts and establishes a good fan base in Miami and fights there for the next 4-6 and retires. He will sort of be like a chris John. he makes really good money fighting bums in Indonesia.

                  Also whoever he fights next is going to be a step down in class cause he just beat the top guy at 122.
