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

This is pathetic. Really pathetic.

[_Maxi]

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.

Oh but Lara deserves the Golovkin payday right? LMAO!

Actually those 2 go hand in hand. If he wins, he'll gain almost nothing as he's already a P4P fighter. If he loses, you're right, his 0 disappears and his earnings potential would fall - which is exactly what he's talking about. Fighting Rigo is a high risk/no reward fight.

You guys can talk all you want about duck this and duck that, but every fighter does a risk/reward scenario - every single one of them.

Yes, they all doing that.

But should we be happy about this situation?

Mayweather's path killed this sport since everybody accepted this behaviour.


Too much business effect kills the sport.

+ Rigo is a lot better win than LSC.

Rigo is an amateur boxing legend (twice olympic gold medalists), he beat someone of Donnaire caliber.

He's a proven freak of boxing and he's a great boxer, LSC is a good fighter.

Frampton has holes in his games, and IMO, Rigo would make him look bad.

Rigo has not proven special in the pros.
Donaire was SEVERELY overrated. He's also the ONLY decent win on Rigo's resume. Not good, not great, not HOF. Decent. Rigo's other opponents barely cracked top50.
Rigo was also knocked down by Donaire, as he was also knocked down by several other very low ranked fighters.

People talk about Rigondeux based on the word of mouth and not what exists in real world. He's not Floyd's heir apparent defensively, his resume has 1 great win and nothing else. And in that 1 win, he did not 'school' Donaire, it won a clear decision while getting knocked down.

In my book, moving up and beating clear #1 in LSC is a better win than beating an overrated, small 36 year old Rigo.

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.

The last dummy got his jaw broke. It's hard for Rigo to look good when the other guy quits fighting. Framptom might not want to be in a boring fight, but why is he shaking in his boots. He should keep Rigo's name out of his mouth if he's not going to do anything about it.

That didn't count because no one saw it... Urban Legend.

Rig. Is Rig. Own enemy! He's fighting BUMS and making it look way boring because he treats everyone like world class boxers. He gets boo'd and after a few rounds ppl start going to get more drinks, get on phone, or leave....FACT. And I'm a fan of his.

[Shadoww702]

Rig. Is the type of fighter you want to fight like Creed / Rocky 3. Behind closed doors. ...To see if your the best. Everyone knows Rig. Is the best

[sicko]

I think it is BS that Rigo is being Ducked like everybody is...BUT he should've signed with PBC!
