Frampton vs Rigondeaux and why I doubt it happens.

TL: DR the promoters won't allow it, Rigo is aging and will end up without any other solid name aside from Nonito on his resume.
atleast you tried

I doubt Frampton vs Rigo happens next, but I'm hopeful RN can get something moving with him. They signed Ward & he's lined up to fight Kovalev Nov. 19 apparently. They signed Cotto & got him in with Canelo in the biggest non-Floyd or Manny PPV fight in over a decade+. They just signed Rigo & I suspect they aim him towards something meaningful inside of this year or early next year.Comment

... Frampton apparently broke Scott Quigg's jaw in the 4th, so I'd assume that there's some power there.Comment

You're assuming Haymon would want to sign Rigo. He seems difficult to deal with and people do not like watching him fight. Maybe Al just didn't want to deal with him.Huge Rigo fan but once again he made the WRONG Career move by signing with Roc Nation instead of Haymon. You have to know what is going on around you and in and around his Division most of those guys are with Haymon. So by signing with Haymon would've put him right in the mix for the winner of Frampton vs Quigg
For all the crap HBO and Arum get, nobody else really seemed in a hurry to get him back on American tv after Top Rank dropped him.Comment

Rigo has nobody to blame but himself. He's priced himself out of fights, he's stayed loyal to the leeches, he's been giving golden opportunities to shine and has stunk the places. Probably RNS will get him a couple of tomato cans to fight and most likely he'll bore them to death.Comment
