well said man. boxing is a business first, they need the money and will go through great lengths to get the money because in the end legacy doesn't pay your bills. and for those who say otherwise simply don't have any sense of business and probably lack education.
Frampton wouldn't be able to pay his bills if he fights Rigo?
I suppose he won't make any money if he doesn't milk that belt for what it's worth. That belt is something to sell to an audience, not denoting that he's the World Super Bantamweight Champion.
I don't blame Frampton for it though, I blame the sport for having ridiculous amounts of titles which allows promoters to con the public into calling them 'World Champions'.
My favourite little joke is one I saw on Showtime before the Broner fight - 'with all these world champions, just how many worlds are there?'

What's annoying is when fans blur the lines between things which are not the same.
Frampton won the IBF Title. He beat the champion for it. He's a real champion yet you have people trying to claim he's not because he hasn't beaten Rigondeaux? So that means Roy Jones was only a one weight champion, does it?
It's not the same as Quigg who is clearly not a real champion.
Also people saying he's going to "milk the title" when the fights he's looking at are against Quigg, Santa Cruz and Mares. All great fights in their own right. So how is that "milking the title"? Just because he's not fighting Rigo right now?
It's not like he's trying to fight Forfarna's or Salka's.
