    Yes but Barry simply can't offer either man anything close to what Hearn can. Frampton is the bigger draw he sells more tickets but if the fight is staged in manchester it won't be 20000 frampton fans it won't be 20000 quigg fans it will be 20000 boxing fans who have wanted to see this fight for years

    True but that's not Eddie's fault is it, and he's doing a pretty good job so far..

    If it done 500k buys and that's a big if it would be based on previous British bills no more than £17.99 a buy so would not generate 10m plus do you think sky do ppv as a charity act and don't take money. They take a good chunk so your talking nonsense to defend Framptons team

    If he's worth more than 1.5 million why can't his own promoter pay him that then?

    This is a classic case of egos (on both sides tbf) getting in the way of business.

    In the end, however, money dictates and it'll be made. It's all the face saving bs in the meantime that's so frustrating for the fans..

    Frampton is with ITV. He would only be ppv if he does a deal with Hearn to go on Sky.

    So if Barry had the ppv option he wouldn't be milking it!? Why would anyone want to earn less money? Barry doesn't, that's why the fight isn't on

    Aren't there another 2 McGuigan sons running the promotional company?

    So why do you keep banging on about it being unfair that Carl has to travel ?

    My problem is in my opinion he is stopping me from seeing a fight I have waited a long time for and for no genuine reason other than he can't make as much money from it as he wanted to

    You said earlier that Rigo - Frampton was worth £3m ppv.

    With which company?

    2 + 2 = 4

    That's a lot of McGuigans.
