    if they made Quigg - Galahad on the 22nd that would justify ppv in my opinion, Hearn is turning Quigg into a joke

    The whole thing is a disgrace, promises of big names, and yet another unknown opponent. Quigg's reign as a 'world champion' is becoming embarrassing.

    Are they turning Quigg into a joke or is himself? £400k is great money, wonder how much he is getting to fight this guy. £40k?

    Team Frampton have gone remarkably quiet of late?

    Which flyweight are they trying to find?

    Surely not worse than Silva?

    Granted, both Munyai and Jamoye had better ledgers, but down at bantam. Otake is a solid 122lbs, all career long. Still, though, I'll allow them still being superior challengers despite the size they were giving up just based on them being more proven commodities in the p4p sense.

    Silva had, on the other hand, never beaten anyone to rival Otake's best couple of domestic wins - and in all honesty neither had the bizarrely (albeit briefly) overrated Salinas.

    Got to say I was looking forward to quigg agbeko or against wake, this is a poor fight to be honest, could have got Far better opposition for this one. Very dissapointed.

    Other than keeping him active, this continuous diet of weak opponents can't be doing Quigg any good?
    Quigg and his people can't just assume that Scott can step it up anytime against a top class opponent, just by "flicking a switch".
    If and when he does step up he may be found wanting. Yes he is accumulating wins, but in the long term this has to be hurting his development as a fighter?

    Direct quote from Quigg, this is ridiculous.

    "I can’t wait to defend my World title in Liverpool on November 22 on a huge night for British boxing, Otake represents the toughest fight of my career"

    I was thinking about buying the PPV, but after this insult they can slide on.

    Asking a question.

    You do all realise Otake's rated much higher than Galahad?
