Tam, those were my thoughts exactly, but HIS keenness to go straight back in with Frampton means that the same should apply to Rigondeaux. I like Quigg a lot and if he fought Frampton, I would be rooting for him.
However, I totally understand Rigo's point, and if I were him I would do exactly the same. Everybody sees Rigo as the best, but the Money fight in the division involves 2 fighters that really don't want much to do with him. That's bound to piss him off. Add to that McGuigan (and British pundits e.g. Haye) saying Frampton is now no.1 , it's gonna piss him off even more, especially when they've blatantly steered clear of him.
Rigo is showing who the boss is here, fight and beat Quigg, then Goad Frampton into a fight, and totally fuck up the Frampton/Quigg Stadium fight. that's his aim. To be fair, if Quigg wants to call himself a World Champion, then these are fights he has to take.
If Quigg fights Rigo , I would love to see him win and then call the shots to McGuigan with his snidey remarks and shut the fucker up. Realistically though , don't see it happening I'm afraid.
