Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Want Quigg-Donaire, No Money in Rigondeaux

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Can you explain how Quigg-Donaire is a bigger fight than Quigg-Rigondeaux in the U.K.? People will come to see Quigg, his opponent hardly matters. Most of his fans don't even know who Donaire, Rigondeaux or Santa Cruz are.

Look at Frampton, he could fight a guy nobody has ever heard of and still draw 10,000 fans in Belfast.

So why would you fight the best guy in the division for the same money (if it's even that) as you can to fight someone nobody has ever heard of?



Plus....Donaire is a bigger name worldwide and has American television backing. Where was Rigondeaux's last fight shown?

The problem is that Hearn doesn't want his fighter to be embarrassed in front of his fighter's fans. That's how good Rigo is. It's not about the money (they only say it is), it's about the shame of seeing your fighter trying his best to win but can't because his opponent is just too goddamn great.

Hearn and Quigg have both admitted in interviews that Rigondeaux would beat him. They have literally said that in the past. If the money was good enough, Hearn would wheel Quigg out to get embarrassed by Rigondeaux.

Hearn knows full well that Frampton destroys Quigg - he still wants that fight as long as he's getting a nice chunk of change for it.

Exactly. Beating Quigg does nothing for Rigo. And if Rigo wants the fight Caribe needs to put up the money to attract the opponents.

They bid 300k for his mando against Avalos

Avalos was set to make 80k to fight one of the best fighters on the planet. What a fantastic deal! I have no idea why he ducked that fight like a puussy ass b1tch to earn 3 times the amount against Frampton

Hearn doesn't want any of his guys near rigo. He acts like quigg is more of a champ then rigo smh

rigo should stay his ass in japan.

And Quigg's trainer said in two separate interviews that if they were offered the right money, they'd take the Rigondeuax fight. So where is the offer? It's nowhere cos the money isn't there. They don't even have an American TV deal.

That's almost LSC levels right there. They'll fight him but they gotta get paid. Why? Cuz they know their guys aint sh^t compared to rigo.

He gets quigg's "reg" WBA belt right? That would put rigo one step closer to unify with frampton.

Rigo is the best technical boxer out there and becoming one of the most feared. He will never lose. Once these Sallys step and get worked he will get more praise. Sad though. I just want to see the jackel in action. Just love the traps he sets.

You should stop watching boxing then because that's what it's about.

You watch boxing for the $ they make?
I can care less about what they make, as long as they're getting a fair deal. But really, you guys sound like my daughters! I don't care about the split or the negotiations just get the fight done.
