Why would Rigo move up in weight when there are still names, good names to fight at 122? Maybe to experience same luck at higher division? Donaire, Mares, Lomachenko will be doing the same thing in regards to fight him as Quigg, Leo and Frampton are doing now.

There's nobody at 122 other than Frampton, Quigg, and Santa Cruz. And none of the 3 will fight Rigondeaux.

At 126 there's Walters, Lomachenko, Mares, Gradovich, Vetyeka, Gonzalez, and a Donaire rematch if Donaire wants it.

I like 7 chances to land a fight better than 3.

And if he can't land a big fight at 126 right away there's second tier guys like Billy Dib, Jesus Cuellar, and Rocky Juarez, which is still better than what's left at 122 after Frampton, Quigg, and Santa Cruz. And eventually those 3 will have to move up to 126 anyways.

brings no money?? is Carl Frampton some kind of cash cow?

Wtf is going on??? Why have I been agreeing with you so much today??? Lol

He can't beat him anyway. Might as well defend his title against guys he can beat if that's what his fans want to see.

did you watch his fight last saturday? huge crowd so yeah he got quite a following in his country.

tickets were probably eight bucks.



it's a sad day when the euro accountants show up to try and make an argument for the best fighter at 122 not getting a fight.

all roads lead to carl "money" frampton.


he'd like to thank god and al haymon.

Let's not be hypocrites now. Rigo ain't going to Belfast and they won't fill all the seats in the smallest of stadiums here. If you give a pass to other guys taking fights based on what they can earn don't come in here being a hypocrite now. For one Rigo is not going into belfast and that flat out kills the fight.

I think rigondeaux would be straight on a plane given half a chance of fighting frampton

I wanted to like Frampton but he proved he's a coward like the rest of them.

When was the last time a champion was as ducked as much as Rigo? He has two belts and the Ring Belt. He's definitely one he biggest names in that weight class. It's not like he brings nothing to the table. You get a chance to get two titles and go up against one of the greatest fighters ever.

You can't tell me there are 5 guys with a bigger name than Rigo. Quite honestly Framptons options are limited.

He has Quigg and LSC, after that no one is bigger or can bring more intrigue than Rigo. I mean Mares is available, but he's at 126.

Hearn and McGuigan, Quigg and Frampton all agree on ONE very basic fact.

Why are they going to pay a fighter who isn't a draw on TV or with tickets, to come and most certainly beat their fighter?

I'm not condoning it. But boxing is run by businessmen and that's why you won't see this fight. It's makes zero business sense. None.

Frampton is garbage anyway, rigo would toy with him, as easy as frampton gets hit rigo would gotti his punk a$$. Frampton needs to stay fighting euro bums like himself, so sick of all these ducks
