[LacedUp]

ná bíodh eagla ort Frampton.

go bhfuil tú fear na hÉireann.

An bhfuil tú ag labhairt na hÉireann ?

I can't believe how many ******s there's on this board

First of all, Frampton has never said anything other than he'd love to fight Rigo.

Second of all, it's Frampton's manager who's explaining the situation. What is a manager's job? - Getting a good fight, for a lot of money for his fighter. He wouldn't be doing his job if he was taking the Rigo fight.

Thirdly, Gary Hyde made an offer to Frampton last summer for £120k. I mean, who does he think Frampton is? He would get a million £ payday (probably) vs Quigg and it would be a much easier fight. AND if he lost to Rigo, that fight would be out the window because it's lost it's mystique of two undefeated fighters fighting each other. If Frampton fights Quigg first and wins, the Rigo fight makes a lot more sense than it does now.

What is it people don't understand? I'm reading through these posts and it's just one idiot after another coming up with bs like "prove you're the best". I mean, wake up and step into reality ffs.

People are delusional when it comes to Rigo discussion. Im pretty sure if tickets were free he still wouldnt do a sellout and people would still walk out on his fight.

all kidding aside, for Rigo to fill an arena and keep it full through the whole fight, the promoter would have to hire extras and then not pay them until after the show

Who wants to see Rigo stink out the joint when we could see Frampton-Quigg-SC in an absolute war(s).

Nobody cares about Rigondeaux other than the nerds on NSB. We all know he schools everyone in the division, who wants to see a fight when you know which fighter will win?

Apparently Frampton knows that too.

[betmen]

That's the point. Right now, no one would care that he was fighting literally one of the most talented boxers of all time.



Well first of all.....no, it would just be doing a Rubix cube and no one would care because they aren't impossible to solve. A mild round of applause is what you'd get.

And second of all, get to ***. You'd turn down a million to do a crossword? Can we get some people who aren't kids in this thread?

Now who is being a kid?? Win over Rigo is career defining accomplishment, get it? career!! that's not kid stuff. and who are we kidding really? is bantam weight, nobody care about the smaller division unless you win big like Donaire and Rigo or have multiple FOTY like Morales and Barerra.

is fine if Frampton want to pile up money and controversial wins at home like Chris john, nobody can force him to become an ATG.

[opotemo]

Put Frampton on the spot then, Rigo and his management should release a statement telling Frampton that they are willing to fight in his hometown...that would bring the cash. Let's see what Frampton does then.

Fact is, Rigo is unwilling to travel to Ireland, that's the bottom line.

Nonsense

folks like to forget that boxers are in it for a living. if i was frampton, i'd try my hand at the smaller fish first (quigg/lsc) and get that easier money, before i go and risk it all vs rigo. not only is it business sense, but common sense. frampton vs quigg/lsc is NOT stevenson v. fonfara or garcia v. salka. not even fking close.

if you here talkin about "fight to prove whose best" you not in touch with reality. its about $$ and for those who disagree, be honest w/ yourself and ask what you do.

It's a sad reality when boxing fans don't care about fights to see who's best and rather care more about how much money their favourite fighter is making.

First of all,Framptons management arranges his fights

Second of all, Mcguigan isn't exactly being truthful in explaining the situation is he. Rigondeaux would clearly be one of his biggest money making fights. If he was to say "we're looking into the Quigg fight first as it's biggest possible payday out there" fine. But he's not, he's basically saying a Rigondeaux fight is not happening at all for invalid reasons.

Thirdly, your comparing a offer Hyde made over a year ago to Frampton who was a draw in Belfast with poor TV ratings to fight between Frampton who is now a title holder and Quigg now both of whom have had their stock significantly increase in the past year.

It's not that people don't understand the reality of the situation. Alas somehow it's idiotic to want to see the 2 best in the division fight each other. If the reality sucks don't expect people to be happy about it.

Ahh the old "Rigo will stink out the joint" excuse which you've kindly translated to mean he schools everyone in the division. What in the style match ups of Frampton-Quigg-SC would suggest "absolute war". Your absolutely exaggerating. Yeah "nobody wants to see a fight when you know which fighter will win" you have just described most Frampton-Quigg-LSC fights (who did Froch fight after Bute again?)
Now nobody cares except the nerds on NSB, as bad as his ratings were on HBO he still somehow managed to get 550,000 nerds from NSB to watch, far higher than Framptons TV numbers.
The only nerd on here is you with a picture of Froch and his missus in fancy dress as his profile- what a weirdo.

Of course it would sell out the arena

Frampton has been selling out arenas fighting no names. Fighting Rigo would easily sell out. But the TV money wouldn't be nowhere near what they would be with Quigg, which is a potential PPV fight and the Rigo fight simply isn't.

Isn't that exactly what I just said?

You ask any Frampton fan who they'd like to see him fight next, it would be Quigg. So it's 1) the fight his fans want to see 2) an all British showdown for millions 3) A much easier and probably better fight 4) massive coverage that would make him close to a household name all over Britain 5) a British UNIFICATION fight - the first big one in years and years.

The money is there for a Quigg, LSC, Mares fight because they have massive backing from American TV and Rigo doesn't. So yes, they would make him considerably more money. What McGuigan has said and which everyone else are saying is that you have to weigh the risk vs the rewards. In the case the massive risk of fighting Rigo does not match up well against the reward. Frampton isn't doing massive TV ratings just yet, he's fighting on a minor network - now his ratings might increase now but don't think it's changed massively from a year ago. His main support is the people of Northern Ireland, and they will have backed him this time last year also.

It's not idiotic to want to see the fight, I never said that. It is idiotic to say it's more logical to go after Rigo than Quigg.
