No. He's getting TV exposure over here in a likely effort to secure the winner of the Quigg/Frampton fight. When he wins he'll be the WBA mandatory, the winner of the PPV on the 27th will have a big media presence and he'll be hoping for a good pay day

Rigondeaux should have fought a B-level British/Irish bantamweight a couple of years ago, when it was obvious that a few of the best opponents for him were British/Irish.

It's a tool sharpener until he knows who he could get out of the Quigg Frampton winner.

Rigo's already on the way out.

Not really. It's a smart move IMO. The opponent clearly isnt up to his level but he gets seen by the british market in the hope of getting the Frampton/Quigg winner. It's a smart business move.

Or Charles Dickens?

Is the gulf in levels between them about the same as Duran v laing ?

whats wrong with rigo

Sounds like they're lining Rigondeaux up with the winner of the anticipated Frampton v Quigg fight.

Nope.
American networks have had enough of him. He probably has to go Europe if he wants to make any money.
