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

[The Gambler1981]

Nsb has the ****ing worst posters when in comes to their idol.

First we know about certain facts:

- boxing is prizefighting, rigo does not bring the money to quigg but donaire ca because he has american backing and more popular worldwide. Nothing wrong on what hearn said.

- if rigo is so good why cant he try to move up in the featherweight if he is that good. If your too good for the division 4lbs wont be that hard. floyd,donaire, manny to name a few did it. Why wont he? - ****** rigotards will say he is unbeatable.

- rigo should be thankful to donaire, among all of his opponents its only donaire who gave him the fame, **** his resume only has donaire as a sure fire future Hall of famer.

- the logic is very simple and only rigotards dont get it, Donaire brings more popularity and name with medium risk and more money for quigg than rigo.

Only fanatics would twist it, heck you should build a foundation and fund rigos next fight. Top rank dropped him coz rigo cant attract crowds and has no backing.

Its not about being only good but its how you attract people to watch you fight!

Thats the essence of prizefighting!

I agree with most of your points, but that third one about Donaire giving him a shot was total luck. It was only because all that Mares stuff came up and Donaire/Top Rank walked from doing that because of that bad relationship that they got forced into the Rigondeaux fight. If that Mares stuff doesn't come up that Rigondeaux fight never happens, IMO.


That is what Rigondaux has to come to grips with he caught a break, one he will never catch again. He needs to make things happen, not wait around for good things to happen to him.

Rigo is already WBA Super Champ. You can't hold both the Super title and the regular title.

I was leaning more so on the quigg-frampton fight not happening cuz quigg won't have a belt

Why do boxers have to get paid?

I hope you aren't any older than 12.

Spin, spin, spin away like you always do.

Quigg will likely get his arse whipped by Donaire. At least he'll get paid for it though!

Are Fat Yanks actually under the impression that Quigg is some amazing fighter?

Don't know how you've time to post seeing as how you've to turn southeast and get on your knees 5 times a day.

Enjoy sharia, *******.

Wouldn't a fight with the lineal champ be more rewarding in every possible way then a fight with a guy he demolished?

Obviously not in the most important one, which is the monetary way.

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

Frampton made around £200k vs Avalos. Avalos made around £90k.

Rigo is a big risk little reward fighter therefore he isn't getting any of the big names. No Quigg, Frampton, Cruz, or Donaire II.

He can either continue to complain about it, or he can do something about it.
He can stay active by fighting literally anyone. Earn a string of KOs, change his image from a boring fighter to an entertaining fighter, build a fan base and then he can get the big names.

[hectari]

I think both Carl frampton and Quigg need to fight one of Nonito or Santa Cruz before trying to fight Rigo, they need that experience plus another fight or two before Rigo.

Nonito is washed up all he is is a name, dude is done, if anything he is a name that will make Frampton or Quigg look good similar to how Khan fought a faded Barrera. Nonito is shot and damaged goods.

Frampton and Quigg knock him out bad.

I rather see St Cruz finally step up, dude hiding behind Arum, St Cruz is one of the most boring fighters I ever seen, yet he is touted as an exciting action fighter, yet boring as hell. No power at all.

The most avoided Champ at 122 needs to man-up and stop avoiding the beasts at 126. Rigo has always fought safety first. If he can't find a big name opponent at 122, he should prove that he's the best in and around 122 lb division. TBH I think he beats all 126 champs.

donaire probably shot if he blew his load in 2 rounds with walters, only a fighter out of his depth would fight so reclessly.
