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

Rig. Is GREAT boxer but if you put a dummy in the ring with him he would probably go 12 rounds with it and say it came to fight! And it was a tough fight but he pulled out the win...Everytime I've seen him fight it ended up in boos and ppl leaving for bathroom breaks or get more drinks.

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

Yup! And he bores the sht out of most PPL. I try telling ppl watch this and that but they say watch me go take a piss instead..

[Shadoww702]

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?

If anything he hurts the main event when he even on TV. He's had plenty of opportunities but he's an A++ fighter who will make a guy in a coma look like he belongs in the ring ith him. Probably even go 12 rounds before Rig. Realizes the dudes a vegetable.

Quigg and Santa Cruz were both undefeated champs.

Quigg was garbage. Barely threw a punch in the Frampton fight.

Rigondeaux said he wasn't going up to 126.
Unless he didn't want to go to 126 for certain fighters.

He said he'd move up to 126 for Leo Santa Cruz

Here's proof of that:

So why not do the same for Frampton?

interesting assessment considering rigo has 11 kos in 17 fights which is actually a higher ko % than Frampton. Because of rigo's style, if his opponent doesn't come to fight it will be a stinker but if his opponent fights aggressively like donaire did, it can make for a fairly entertaining fight.

Rigo is chinny, so it's basically a shoot out between 2 sharpshooters... although Rigo seems to be a little bit more talented of a boxer. Wouldn't mind seeing Rigo vs Santa Cruz or maybe Russel Jr first though.

fair play, fans dont want to see boring fights. Never understand why you lot love rigo and lara on here so much, are ****ing boring, boxing is a spectator sport

We'll said. I could go a lifetime without watching those 2. I enjoy action fights not track meets.

Any real fight fan should be outraged at this f.uck ****.

think a lot of people on here equate being fans of them two with being 'purists' and 'proper boxing fans'. Know not every fighter is going to fight like arturo gatti but them two are boring beyond belief.
