Frampton's Manager: No Rigondeaux, He Brings No Money

[Big Boss]

There is little chance of a unification between newly crowned IBF super bantamweight champion Carl Frampton (19-0, 13KOs) and two-time Olympic gold medal winner Guillermo Rigondeaux (14-0, 9KOs), who holds the WBA/WBO titles.

Frampton capture his title on Saturday in Belfast, with a twelve round decision over Kiko Martinez. He would prefer a unification with the WBA's 'regular' champion Scott Quigg or WBC titleholder Leo Santa Cruz.

Frampton's manager, Barry McGuigan, says a fight with Rigondeaux will be difficult to make, because the talented Cuban brings a very tough style and nothing else to entice such a match.

"Don't get me wrong, he's fabulous," said McGuigan. "But he's awkward, negative, not nice to fight, impossible to look good against, brings no support, no money, no television and makes no financial sense."

Frampton needs to get his Irish ass in the ring, fight rigo, and some 122 unification going....fukk is going on with these ready made copout excuses?

it's sad that such a solid fighter gets ducked and blackballed this way. He's arguably top 3 but they keep saying he brings no money. Yet freaking Rios is everywhere on tv. They don't even promote dude. He needs to pull a Lara and turn heel on those fools

Rigo got that charley burley swag

Too good for his own good.

This is like when Ricky Burns spent about 2 years fighting bums instead of unifying with Broner. Frampton wants to keep that 0, he'll never fight Rigo

lol did Chacal say anything about this after Framptons win?
Blatant ducking is not whats hot in the street. Frampton could sell out in Belfast again against Rigo, easily. But he'd lose 11-1 or something

Rigondeaux's camp needs to be blamed for this. If they would've signed with Roc Nation Sports, the $ and attention would've been too good for boxers to duck. Now other boxers will keep Rigo out of the loop and he can collect dust instead of checks.

....fukk is going on with these ready made copout excuses?

These new era of fighters

1. If this is only due to the fact that they want to unify with Leo Santa Cruz instead then I the breh...............


2. If this is only due to the fact that they want to defend against Chris Avalos (mandatory) instead then I the breh............


3. If this is only due to the fact that he wants to settle his rivalry with Quigg in an "unification" bout then I the breh.............


I love me some Rigondeaux, but I can't get mad at 1, 2, or 3 being made
