    You're not his promoter dumb ass, you're a fan. You should be asking Frampton to challenge guys like Rigo and Lomo, not to play the diva game and chase the easier money.

    If I was a boxing promoter (I'm not qualified as I have SOME morals) I wouldn't put my boxer in the ring with Rigo unless I had to in order to maintain a belt. His style is difficult to look good against...ask Canelo if you don't believe me.

    Rigo is not entitled to fights and money. If you're going to stink out the joint like he did on last fall's undercard, you suffer the consequences.

    Boxing is the entertainment business, and for more than a century fighters have pursued the biggest, most lucrative fights. It's that simple.

    Rigo gets a bad rap for various reasons and I personally dont think its his boxing style which I find entertaining. People say he is not engaging , but thats not exactly correct because his opponents are not eager to engage with him.

    I would think any boxer seeing this guy with championship belts would try and take them. However Rigo is feared and in my opinion the most feared man in boxing.

    The guy speaks no english he cannot promote his own fights with chizit talking, he is so humble he never talks chizit anyway. He is reserved and seeming shy away from people.

    Punching power devastating. opponents hear there bones cracking and feel pain. This guy has left a trail of destruction and nobody asking for a rematch not one.

    Thats why I respect brook for having the cajones to take gman on. and with ***** like that he may pull it off.

    Frampton has the skills no question he is lacking cajones so he should not get his panties in a wad and stay out of the ring with Rigo

    Business wise he brings really nothing. But, in terms of legacy or truly testing oneself, his skillset is the one to try and conquer.

    I care more about seeing the best fight the best as opposed to seeing a fighter's bank balance increase.

    Some fanboys are real idiots, especially the ones who judge fighters by their nationality.

    Totally correct. The market dictates. The big networks want to show the most exciting fighters on their channel not dull spoilers like Rigondeaux. If Rigondeaux isn`t making a half or quarter a million dollars a fight guess what?.............he`s not worth it!!

    Excuses excuses , reasoning, profitability, exciting, at least LSC admitted he was afraid and not ready for Rigo.

    The others should do the same and lets just move on.

    Im a frampton fan and frampton ducked him

    I don't think he made that much against lsc and a fight against rigo in Belfast would make him more money, no excuse

    I agree and have said it from day one, i hold out hope he will fight him at 126

    You get to the stage in your career were you can recover from defeats without to much of an implication

    Frampton is def at that stage now

    Frampton should have said im 130, come up and fight me, rigo probably would have said no as he said no to moving up to fight loma but frampton just ducked
