It won't happen with Frampton. Frank Warren is notorious for this. Rigo is still WBA mando.

[NEETzsche]

Exactly!!! The Frank warren scenario, I would never forget how he does this when Ricky Hatton was fighting under him.

definitely not this time. boxnation was advertising this fight more than mathews-flanagan, jazza seemed to be really up for it

bru rigo is never fightin in the pro ranks again..he is a paid russian sparring parnter to help ensure victory over the cubans...he will giving cuban school secrets out as much as possible

[kafkod]

Its happened many times on his cards when one of his fighters is supposed to be fighting a good international opponent

Yeah, Warren has had similar issues before with his bills, but never this close to a fight after the home fighter has completed a full training camp.

It looks like Rigo's team have let him down badly again. This would have been the perfect opportunity to introduce Rigo to the British fans and create a bit of buzz for a fight with Frampton. Instead, all they've achieved is to give Frampton's team another reason - or excuse, perhaps - to avoid fighting him.

That sucks for all involved, i was looking forward to that fight.

I feel for Jaza ****ens, and for the fans who bought a ticket with this fight in mind.

Why wouldnt they advertise it?

I think the pattern is:

-Make a decent fight.
-Sell it to the fans
-Fans buy tickets to the event
-Visa issues/Injuries/pull outs
-Home fighter gets a late notice soft touch
-Warren saves money on the event while still selling tickets.

Easy.

If i was anywhere near this event i would have boight tickets to see Rigo. More fool me aye.

It happens way too often on Warrens cards to be coincidence.

Was Rigo definitely in camp training for this fight?

[nycsmooth]

Doesn't Rio stay on Miami? As NYC/CA there are consulates 4 pretty much all developed countries in the world...England? OF COURSE...
Wrong type? Ask when u get it...only 2 types: tourist or a temporary work visa...quite easy...I don't but this BS...

[SteveM]

That's just ******ed ****e and lack of professionalism. The Brit consulates and embassies around the world make life difficult for their own Brit citizens.

So you know they're gonna make it tough for Cubans. Rigo's management sucks - you need to be on top of all the rules however ****** and rigid they are.

[Ray*]

So, you think Rigo just went through a training camp in Russia so that he could help the promoters pull a scam.... Uh, right.....

In Russia "training" yeah right..

What happened?

In the Ricky Hatton days Warren would sell you a fight with Hatton v some name that would generate interest.. After tickets are all sold then the excuse would come about nothing... Fight switch to a different lower class opponent.
