Is Carl Frampton "Fighter of the Year" so far in 2016?

[Ron Swanson]

Frampton only got $500,000 whereas LSC got $1 million form their fight. If Rigo has got Jay Z he could easily afford the fight with Frampton.

What Carl has achieved was equally as hard as beating Rigo.

Now come on, it was a great achievement and a great win, and I don't want to take anything away from him. But if beating Rigo was "equally hard", why didn't he just go ahead and do it?
without wanting to sound like I'm doubting you, I also believe he earned a helluva lot more than $500k.
Frampton's not the only guy out there avoiding a fighter, but it shouldn't be allowed to happen. Just the way it is (as Bruce Hornsby and the range once said.)

He has moved up weight, taken on an undefeated US fighter in his homeland for a world title being the big under dog is just as good, if not better than beating Rigo.

That is fine rationalization. And like most rationalization it is complete bullshit. It's okay to be a ducker if you get belts, the notion is absurd.

Not just belts, what about the other things I mentioned which you conveniently ignore.
