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

[Mr. Luthor]

It's not worth it. Rigo can't even get approved by any American TV network. Plus he's going to want top dollar for his efforts. And he's not putting a single person in the stands. Why should Frampton do Rigo this enormous favor by fighting him?

Because Rigo is a Top 10 P4P boxer and willing to fight in Belfast. Also a fight with Rigo at 122 would allow Frampton to keep his new 126 pound title.

Frampton don't want it I'd rather see Rigondeaux fight Gary Russell go after him

[Mr. Luthor]

he's never going to see $750k again in his career or even $500k

turning down lomachenko was foolish... unless he doesn't believe he can win

Lomanchenko is not enough of an A-side boxer for Rigo to give up size and money. No they aren't with the same promotions but a potential deal can be made and put on HBO.

No question Rigo is a top fighter but if it don't make dollars it don't make sense.

when the alternative is facing jazza ****ens on an undercard in cardiff, $500k to face lomachenko at 126 is a great deal

the only reason he turned it down is because loma would probably beat him

it's the GGG-ward situation all over again but even worse because at least golovkin had some other options

[Pechorin]

Good for Franpton! All these top guys fight for money, his situation isn't any different.

[M Bison]

Oh, that honest approach now would be fine If you didn't promise him the fight way back then after beating Quigg...
I still think Frampton is the standout fighter for this year but Frampton made a promise he should keep to especially If Rigo is willing to move up for Carl.

Yes it's a job but there also should be honor.
