Comments Thread For: Frampton: Rigondeaux is Great, But Not For Me To Make Money

[Sweet_Science2]

These dudes are straight *******. How do these punks have fans? Like if you are that good cut off the ring and beat him.

[Mr. Luthor]

I don't think Rigo wants to go up to 126 and he certainly isn't trying to give Lomanchenko any advantages. However, Rigo might have to go up a division in order to get some of these guys in the ring.

Frampton doesn't make a lot of sense here. He says: prestige (legacy) "is an important thing", "I want to be involved in exciting fights" and "this is a short career":

a) He's just had a money fight against Santa Cruz. Why not try to beat Rigondeaux for your legacy now?

b) He wasn't concerned about excitment when it suited him against Quigg or Martinez. He knew he was the superior boxer and he boxed cautiously. Now he's a warrior because he stood his ground once against someone who can't punch?

c) It's these exciting fights that will make your career shorter.


As far as Rigondeaux no wanting to move up in weight, Frampton ducked him at 122. No excuses.

What a b!tch

[RealIzm]

Lovely excuses that amount to another Duck. The problem isn't Rigo's style. The problem is nobody within 2 weight classes has the skill to make a fight with Rigo exciting. Don't blame the master.

Boxers these days beat one big name and want to cash in on that win by fighting no-hopers for the rest of their careers. He would make good money on a Rigo fight in front of his people.

Quigg and Santa Cruz were both undefeated champs.

The business of boxing. A little surprising that a Frampton/Rigondeaux fight couldn't be profitable for Frampton in Belfast. I know a Selby fight has been mentioned but that and a Russell fight are really the only big fights available besides a Santa Cruz rematch.

Santa Cruz rematch, Quigg rematch, Mares, Russell Jr, Selby, Warrington and Pedraza if Frampton wants to be 3 division champ.

I think Rigo would have to take 300k for it to be profitable.

Hey TheCell8 what was all that ****** crap you were saying?

[lazaron72]

Duck , duck , and duck . You still will be paid if you fought rigo . It would be one fight , after that , you would still competing and making money , right ???
The problem is that rigo would finish you as rigo did to donaire .
The problem would be that rigo would expose big time , maybe would break your eyes orbital , solar plexes or your jaw .

It is only one fight , what about the glory it would bring you for having fighting the best 122 in the world ?

What about the glory of fighting a two time olimpic gold medal and 1 of the 5 pound per pound ?

What about daring to defeat a legend ?
After all , you only made 500 000$ in panticruz fight , it is not that you are making millions. And rigo made 750 000 $ against donaire . Rigo made more than you , punk .

You are scared rabbit , you know that rigo would finish you , coward ...

Rigondeaux " the most feared boxer in the game " . He and ggg are .

Hit and not be hit ; swim and not get wet ; you can not hit what you don't see .

[Mr. Luthor]

Santa Cruz rematch, Quigg rematch, Mares, Russell Jr, Selby, Warrington and Pedraza if Frampton wants to be 3 division champ.

I think Rigo would have to take 300k for it to be profitable.

Put it on the Ward/Kolavez under card.
