    The best move for Rigo now is offering Donaire a rematch. If Donaire could get his revenge his stock would take a massive upwards resurgence.

    It's clear that Quigg, Frampton and LSC all want none of Rigo, but at least Donaire would.

    Nonito has looked 1/3rd of the fighter he was prior to Rigo, some say it was the all year drug testing some say Rigo took his soul

    id be surprised if he wants any further part of Rigo

    That has more to do with the fact it was a domestic PPV though, I think. Look how much AJ got against Whyte for example, all possible because of the Hearn PPV express.

    You could argue Rigo ducked Loma as he reneged on a 124lb fight
     
  6. Schooled? :lol:

    You're a cretin. You've claimed he will make a lot more vs LSC than Rigo, yet still cannot prove the figures.

    LSC made $1.25m against Mares (who made the same). What does Frampton make in this fight? Certainly not more than that, quite likely a fair bit less.

    Do you think LSC - Frampton is a bigger fight than LSC - Mares? A fight that was between two Mexicans with fan friendly styles?

    Frampton is a complete unknown in the US. He completely bombed on his debut and was not brought back until after his Quigg win. Any splits in the purses will be heavily weighted to LSC.

    The fact you cannot see this is staggering. I've never been under the impression that you're even mildly intelligent, but you're really showing yourself up here.
     
  7. The SBW limit is 122lbs so your post is irrelevant. We are discussing the genuine champ at 122lbs, not a catchweight fight outside the weight.

    We all know rigo is the champ, he was the champ before frampton beat quigg and he's still the champion now. We all know this, what point are you trying to prove here?

    He is trying to cover up the fact that he was sooo badly exposed when Frampton schooled Quigg.
    He went out on a limb predicting Quigg by ko!!! :rofl :nut

    Completely failed to see the obvious superiority of the McGuigan team behind Carl too.....:-( :blurp

    He must be feeling really foolish now. :hi:

    I asked you a yes or no question and you've failed to answer yes or no. You are Solaris, a total moron. It's much like when you fail to grasp that no insult or baiting by you has any effect on me. Comfortable in my own various successes, the notion that you, a poster who selected his username to irritate another poster for scaring him, is hilarious.

    Back to the point, even you, in the midst of your blind fury due to being so very wrong in the Frampton Quigg fight must admit that LSC is a bigger draw than Rigo? Frampton's drawing power will be the same with either opponent so... C'mon Solaris... Surely you can work this out...

    Sugar still desperately trying to convince himself hes "schooled" people or made them look an idiot, whilst then going on about being comfortable with his own successes, one can only imagine what he deems a success in his ridiculous life living at home with his mother.

    I love that he also makes out he doesn't want to be relevant on a forum yet has piped up more times in the last 2 weeks since it was mentioned than he ever has before

    Haha. Solaris' remora fish has made an appearance! Great stuff. Are you capable of answering the following question? Do you think fighting Rigo offer a similar purse to LSC? The choices are a) yes it would or b) no it wouldn't.

    Your obsession with me living at home with my parents is most disturbing. Has your Mrs. kicked you out or something? Are you at home with your mother at the moment? It seems an odd thing to suggest when you've been told otherwise.

    I'll agree with you that what we quantify as success is probably quite different. Mine's picking up awards/having more work commissioned, whereas yours seems to be validation from an online troll and coming back on these boards after crying off because Terry Tibbs threatened you online.

    Going to chime in on the purse issue here, hope no one minds...

    I think he'd get more for the LSC fight, but he'd still get a lot for the Rigo fight. Not enough to justify not fighting him imo

    I know that Donaire isn't the same. The whole Rigo took his soul thing is boring and repetitive. If Donaire would be offered a rematch he would take it, and give it his all - that's all that matters.

    To be fair, Rigondeaux looks like he is slowly on the slide as well.
