    6.15 Carl Frampton doesn't bring anything to the table.

    That's why you've been begging him for the fight the last two years so quigg will be allowed to fight past his 10pm bedtime

    And that Carl has had an arena built for him which houses THOUSANDS. Unlike Quigg, who could never headline a card by himself.

    He'd need Crolla (best ticket seller in that city), AJ and Warrington to pack the MEN.

    They had one with AJ and Crolla last year and sold something like 6k tickets, might have been the night of that interview

    Carl couldn't even make a counter offer to Quigg's. That shows how little power they have.

    He is the supposed A side fighter with the legit title yet he is fighting in his opponents backyard?

    Couldn't even average 2 million viewers on prime time ITV.

    Manchester arena is a great arena for boxing. Period. Hatton vs Kostya zyu, froch vs groves I, i think calzaghe vs lacy was there.

    Ton's of the NI come over to both Manchester and Lpool every weekend for the football. it's a hop skip and jump.

    I don't think it shows anything about bargaining positions at all. It just makes sense for a huge fight should be at the best place in the north to host it

    Why isn't the fight in 'Carl's arena' then?
