    Is Frampton really going to fight a guy that he knows will outclass him, and not really earn much money for it? I'm not convinced tbh.

      Why didn't Rigo sign with Haymon if he wanted the Frampton fight?
      So, these days if someone wants a fight he has to sign Haymon, right? As simple as that.

          But Frampton has been saying this for a while. Long before Rigo signed with Roc, he said once he deals with Quigg, he wants Rigo to prove he's the best.

          Not really Frampton's fault that Rigo has singed with Roc.

            No I was making a point. Rigo made the decision to sign with Roc knowing that it would make a Frampton fight almost impossible to make.

              I didn't see anywhere that Rigo signed with RN yet.

                I doubt Rigo understands that.

                  Don't forget Rigo will be 36 or 37 by the time it happens.

                  Rigo is the best of the best, but age and inactivity are real concerns. Frampton himself is very good, so he'll fancy his chances against an aging version of Rigo.

                    Well Rigo getting dropped by a Japanese caretaker has probably made Frampton more keen on the fight, but how motivated was Rigo fighting a complete nobody in Japan? I think he'd school our lads even if he was 40.

                      Oh, I agree.

                      I m a big Rigo fan and consider him the #1 fighter in the world P4P.

                      I just realise that age and inactivity is a legitimate concern and that will give these other guys a bit more confidence.
