If you can't beat em, join em. When Hopkins couldn't get a fight with the Don King controlled middleweights and realized King was setting up a tourney for his only fighters only, he signed with Don King. Rigo should try and join the PBC brand. He'll get the fights he wants and maybe the he becomes more active and makes some decent money. Not like he's getting red carpet treatment on the other side. Time is running out.
Frampton would make millions fighting anybody

But it's not about money. It's not about style.
It's about being scared to lose. His mentality is why take a loss when instead, I can convince my fans why this fight makes no sense and they will support whatever I do.Comment

It seems to be working exactly how Arum wanted it to. He used pr machines to sway the public opinion about him, and now everyone just walks around copying the sentiments of the HBO broadcast team.No he screwed his career by not throwing any punches vs walkover opponents and having fans boo him most every time. He was given Ppv undercard slots by Arum, early title shots and the 750k purse vs Donaire. Who was no cash cow and clearly had zero Pac potential, seeing his struggles vs similar sized opponents at 122. Rigos been free from Arum for a while, hows that going now that's he's no longer held down by Arum?
It's not like Rigondeaux is a one of a kind fighter. All counter punchers need the right opponent to look good.
Thurman vs. Bundu was boring, and I don't remember anyone condemning Thurman for it.Comment

That match-up will be easy to avoid if TR and PBC continue to not work together.Rigondeaux screwed his career up by beating down Donaire. Bob Arum didn't see that one coming and hated Rigondeaux for ruining what he hoped was his next Pacquiao. Once Bob started trashing Rigondeaux, everybody did.
Has anyone ever seen a promoter work so hard to destroy one of their fighters like Arum did with Rigondeaux? He actually paid a pr firm to trash him on facebook and twitter. Pretty low even for Bob's standards. And guess who's there to eat up all of his words?
As for Frampton, he's pretty much headed for a run of low risk/high reward fights. He can claim it's a money matter with Rigondeaux, but his true nature will come out when he starts turning down a fight with Valdez.Comment

Frampton, LSC and others are making a huge mistake of saying they don't want Rigo. They should take a strong stand and say they want the Cuban. Lomachenko did and Rigo started pricing himself out.
