He keeps winning he might, but the smaller weights don't get paid as much, the name of the game.
There is also very few fighters who get multi million dollar pay days, like probably less than 10 in the entire world. People have this crazy idea about the money boxers make, but there is a very miniscule amount of fighters who make over 1 mill per fight, there is a miniscule amount who make 500k per fight let alone a million. Floyd, Pac, Wlad, yeah they get crazy money, but aside from them no one is making 5+ million a fight, not even Cotto or Canelo most of the time, they were lucky to get that much when facing Mayweather.
Rigo gets good money, he is definately near the 600-800k mark at least, and to a guy from Cuba who made 100 a month or so I am sure he is very happy. I imagine he is one fighter, possibly the only one, who cares more about his legacy. He truly believes he is the best, most complete fighter in the world, and I agree. He wants to be known as the greatest to lace them up, the problem is at the weight he fights he will never be able to lay claim to that title. Maybe if he packs on the pounds or just comes in under weight and fights his way up to 140 or 147 cleaning them out.
