    Frampton will return in April against his mandatory Chris Avalos, in London

    Sounds like a Matchroom promotion so the Quigg fight could be close.

    Rumours is it's London in early April or late February. Seeing murmurings of a co-headliner with Tyson Fury on Feb 28th

    Scott isn't the interim champ he's the regular champ and rigo is the super champ

    Intermission are fought when a regular champ is either injured or contemplating moving up a weight, if you win the interim fight and the champ moves up you get elevated to his position

    Both of them are protected, overly-hyped fighters both desperate to avoid the number one in their division. Frampton vs Quigg is one fight i've never understood the big clamour for. Neither of them are special talents.

    No disrespect, but regardless of what alphabet-soup claptrap name one gives it, Scott's "world title" is a phony, and I think you know it too.

    Of course he has Billy,you make good points!

    But why does his team not want a fight with Quigg, which is without doubt his biggest pay day?

    Exactly. Regular, interim, silver whatever. You're either the champ or your not. There is a lot of pride to be taken in being the number one contender but calling yourself the champion is ridiculous.

    Totally in agreement, I don't even class Quigg as a belt holder nevermind a world champion. Frampton is a belt holder.

    Quiggs belt is historically worthless as Riggo is the real belt holder as well as being the World Champion.

    but rigo is neither injured nor contemplating moving up.

    ryan, you can substitute frampton with quigg and quigg with galahad and your argument holds equal water.

    I am positive they do want a fight with Quigg but Matchroom/Quigg/Joe Gallagher need to get off their throne and face reality - Frampton is the draw in this fight and deserves to be paid as such, Quigg couldn't fill a bath judging by his last few headliners
