    Just watching Eddie Hearn's latest interview on IFL TV with Kugan where he goes into detail about the negotiations regarding Frampton and Quigg. In this interview and many others Eddie makes it seem as though Carl is eager to fight, and believes he can wins and wants it. But always it seems as though the stumbling block is Barry McGuigan - can someone explain to me why Barry is the stumbling block?
    For the life of me I cannot see why this fight isn't being made - the purses for both guys are massive, especially when you consider they are Jr Featherweights.
    So what's the deal? Is Barry the stumbling block or is Eddie blowing hot air, as he has been known to do.

    Barry's an egomaniac. He took Carl away from Sky because he is a greedy cnut who wanted a bigger slice of the pie. He wanted to be a manager and promoter which as we all know is a massive conflict of interest.

    He's in a position where no TV company wants Carl so they've gone cap in hand to Haymon.

    He won't deal with Eddie because his pride is dented.

    Both Barry and Eddie are egomaniacs to be honest. All promoters are but Barry seems as though he has no interest in doing a deal with Eddie for whatever reason. I think from what I have heard Eddie is right in everything he is doing and in my opinion being more than fair with the offer. He wants 60% split and Eddie has said if you win then you can have it, surely they fancy Carl to win it given that 75% of people would probably favour Carl anyway. Seems mad to me, Carl should sack off Barry in my opinion, known to be an nightmare to work with when he was a boxer and he seems even worse now.

    Yeah, but one has Sky backing him and makes £1.5m offers, the other has no TV channel and cannot make offers.

    Barry is the Kim Jong Un of the boxing world. Probably the same height too.

    The cheque incident probably ****ed them off far more than Eddie could imagine

    I know what you are saying and agree that Barry is to blame in this situation.

    It's crazy though, £1.5 million for a Jr Featherweight is insane money - Mares & Santa Cruz didn't get paid anywhere near that for their recent fight. Seems like Barry is ruining Carl's career, he needs this big fight.

    Eddie's flat-offer was a joke, though.

    Carl bring more money to the table.

    Do let me know when Quigg has arenas built for him and can fill an arena on his todd.

    A joke? Has Carl regularly been getting £1.5m then?

    Carl brings more money to the table? Presumably his team have made a counter offer then? Oh wait, they haven't.

    Don't talk ****.

    Quigg is an undercard fighter, simple.

    F*ck me, he hasn't even filled a show in Bury! Put him on a show in Manchester without Crolla or AJ and it'd look like a local MMA show in terms of attendance.

    Ah, so you're playing the "let's ignore the facts" game.

    Carl as champion should get the lions share of the money. That said - as has been pointed out here - £1.5m for superbantamweights is crazy money.

    He's been offered 60/40 for the winner.

    Given that his team bring no money to the table, he should snap it off with both hands.

    True. We both know who would end up with the 60% right? ;)
