Rigo could've said no.
Then he doesn't get paid.
He would get paid to accept another fight. Many other fighters he could've fought, won, and kept getting paydays. He diminished himself by accepting a fight he couldn't win.

Not really. Rigo has always struggled to get high profile fights, especially after the Donaire fight. A fight with Loma was a big payday it wouldn't have been easy to get elsewhere. Same reason he's calling out Inoue now.

But since his loss, no one has to fight him. Before, he was more the boogeyman and eventually someone would have to see him. He would've have gotten that one high profile fight, but he couldn't gotten 5 fights worth more than Loma + the fights he's had since then.
