Why do people dislike Quigg - is it because of Hearn?

Quigg's a sound lad but his promoter and trainer are genuine mongs. I think it's unfair to say he's regressed under Hearn though, because at least he's actually fighting. He wasn't even getting in the ring under Hatton.

He's the B side against Frampton though, the sooner Eddie, Joe and Scott accept this, the sooner the fight can be made. Frampton sells out outdoor stadiums in Belfast. Quigg couldn't sell 600 tickets in Bury.

 

Quigg is a good kid - I have nothing against him at all.
Unfortunately he has a promoter unwilling to spend the cash to get him the fights he needed. If Hearn was serious he would have beaten McGuigan to get Martinez and his IBF belt over for Scott which would have put Eddie in charge in the negotiations with Bazza.

After Barry tells them in the next few weeks to fcuk off again
Hearn will no doubt get Quigg to 'defend' against another bum which will pour even more scorn on him. I'm predicting he will be chucked on the May 30th PPV against another patsy- the Degale fight being the US leg of the 'event'

 

Martinez got $500k for the frampton fight (who got $200k) - looking at the attendances for shows in manc which quigg headlines they'd have probably lost a lot of money on the show and whilst it makes sense if you think they can win (which quigg would IMO) and they are someone who you can build as a massive star (which I don't see in quigg but do with frampton, in fairness Hearn paid a lot to get bute over for froch) so that's why it wouldn't be economically viable

 

Dragon Punch is a proper bellend, but he's right on this one. Hearn should have dipped his hand into his pocket and got Martinez over. Martinez didn't fancy the Frampton job at all - so he'd of been more likely to face Quigg had they offered the same money Frampton's camp did.

Truth be told, when does Eddie ever dip his hands into his pocket to secure his fighters anything. He did it with Bute once, and I don't think he's really done it since. Which is a shame, because if he hadn't took the risk with Bute, Froch would never have made himself and Eddie about £5-£8m each. So risks do pay off, if you actually take them.

 

Calculated risks are different to risks, froch is a calculated risk whereas quigg it would not be so, big difference there

Also did get abril over for Crolla too

 

I'm a Bellend how? Because I don't scream like a little girl jumping on the bandwagon about how FW is an evil monster lol

I agree with everything else you said...Stub Hub was crowing about how Mcguigan wasn't going to be able to get Martinez and Sky is the only viable network blah blah blah and that '''we would go over and fight LSC or get Martinez'' only for McGuigan to totally humiliate him by getting a deal done. Hearn needed to back up his boasts and he failed miserably as he has done on a consistent basis

 

You're a bellend for your antics in the Burn's bankrupt thread buddy.

You're right here though, Hearn just thinks that Sky is the be all and end all, that they will bail him out whenever needed. Sky wouldn't pay a huge fee for Quigg / Martinez and he didn't fancy the risk. This "Quigg isn't a calculated risk" doesn't wash. If Hearn had gone into his pocket and paid Martinez, maybe he'd of had to you know promote the fight and Quigg to sell tickets to make his money back.

Why are promoters just so lazy nowadays, nobody fancies the ground work. It's why 90% of cards in Britain are either empty seats everywhere or half the arena is curtained off.

 

Quigg isn't a calculated risk - can you ever see him being a regular PPV fighter as a headliner or regularly sell out arenas/football stadiums? As good as quigg is he doesn't have that x-factor that transcends the sport like a froch/haye/Hatton etc and he doesn't fight in a 'money' division

 

I like the kid , i just cannot class him as a world champion whilst he is the 'regular WBA champion' and this is what maybe annoys some people.

shiiit my kids get one of those in their happy meals.

 

Quigg is no more/less charismatic than Froch. I know what you mean though, he isn't really in a division that the casuals will buy into.

 

At least Froch can get his point across, and it will have the desired effect (to rile people).

Scott can't even string a sentence together.

 

True, but then you compliment Quigg getting the happy bus to the gym, with the fact he's a likeable guy whereas Froch is a horrible little **** house.

 

That I can agree on. :good
