Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: Frampton Said 'No' To Me and Gave Up His Belt

[JJRalkman]

The P4P cure for insomnia goes around making demands when he's so boring networks pay promoters to not put him on TV.

He refuses to fight above 122. He refuses to fight for the b-side purse. He refuses to concede anything to get big fights because he thinks he is simply entitled to them.

The 122lb sleeping pill can't get big fights, big audiences, or big networks. So for some reason he thinks he should continue doing everything exactly the way he has been and all of that will change.

actually it's Bs bc hbo isnt giving you a deal if you win..they ripped your deal apart after u made the p4p list...promoted another 2 time gold medalist who lost soon as he got on tv...and now they are saying off of a layoff go up in weight to fight a guy who will outweight you 10lbs on fight night...also do all of this while you have a frampton-quigg winner fight on the table to get your belt back in your own division....


tired of seeing rigo be told to be hbo's whipping boy like tim bradley...the man respects himself..they hate a n1gg6 that can tell them go F themselves

now frank warren has him in the hottest spot for boxing... THE UK...bc he didnt take some fight on hbo were he could easily be bashed for his style and robbed and only getting a one fight deal...did u see hbo offer 3 fights to him? he prolly would have taken that then

That's the kind of stuff you have to do when you can't get the fights you want. PWill, Margarito, and tons of other fighters moved up when they couldn't get the fights they wanted. Not everyone can be Floyd or Canelo.

Rigo loves to complain about being ducked but never wants to do anything to make the fights happen. He got stripped for being inactive. He was turning down fights. When Rigo gets his **** together then he'll get the fight. The demand from the fight is only coming from Rigo's 10 fans. He needs to make a name for himself so fans demand the fight. There is no demand for the fight and Frampton can fight LSC, GRJr, or Selby right now and make good money and those are all good fights. Rigo is trying to make money and a name off other fighters while doing nothing on his end to build up hype for the fight. If he fought Frampton right now the fight would have to be in Belfast because Frampton isn't a big enough name here to carry a card by himself. And Rigo isn't a name anywhere to carry a card by himself. Why would he deserve half a million against Frampton in Belfast when every single ticket sold and viewers watched on TV would be on the strength of Frampton's name? A fair split would be 99-1. But Rigo isn't willing to take that split and he isn't willing to take fights to build up this fight. I used to be a rigo fan but after the Francisco fight and him losing his passport I'm done with him. He enjoys playing the victim

I used to stick up for Rig. But he's killing his own career. Plus he was just on a PPV card earlier this year and was bitterly boo'd after the 1st few rounds. Now ppl get up and go get drinks or use the restroom when he fights. He treats every boxer like elite no matter how shty they are. He needs to let himself go more often. If you out a crash test dummy in the ring with him the fight would go 12 rounds.

Not only that but when your a Top #5 P4P and even Al Haymon doesn't even want you something ain't right. Only soo many times can you say "It's them, not me".

So then move up to 126 and chase after him...

You better not be a GGG fan.

Your trying to talk sense into a guy who thinks rigo is entitled to something when in reality rigo should have zero demands and should just take what's given to him. 500k for Loma was more than fair because I can't imagine he's making 1/5th of that money in any fights he's been taking then.

But to stay in topic Frampton ducked rigo and is going to keep ducking rigo. He put out a statement a couple weeks back saying rigo brings nothing to the take but pedigree and he have a family to feed it something like that. Frampton just doesn't want to fight rigo but he have options and rigo have none.

Rigo beats them all : panticruz, quack quack quigg , and rabbit frampton. They have not and will never face him , they just duck and duck .
" todas son unas yeguas que no hacen un caballo como yo " , rigo said . Ha ha .

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

Rig. Already wasted one boxers time from another country when he waited practically the day of the fight to get a VISA. On a FREAKING Holiday! His promotor are almost as good as he is when it comes to Amatuers. $500K was plenty enough but he thinks he's worth over $1,000,000.

No One wants him!!! Like someone already stated he's PAID to stay off TV. Al Haymon doesn't want him and he WANTS EVERYONE!!!!

[MDPopescu]

They all ducked him...

Arum offered actually peanuts for that "Loma fight" at 126...
