    Ok that makes a bit more sense - but its all hearsay.
    Whats your beef with McGuigan?

    I myself have already suggested Carl might have deliberately come in a pound over to avoid becoming Russells mandatory. That is entirely possible alright.
    If Carl did this he has a problem. The fight is likely to go ahead once Gutierrez recovers. Carl cant very well come in a pound overweight a second time for Gutierrez, and then turn around and make the weight for Selbys world title in his very next fight. Well he could do it - but his credibility would be damaged badly if he did.

    Rumours on Twitter that Frampton has left Cyclone and will announce a 5 fight deal with Hearn / Matchroom in the morning.

    He was last night, anyway. Could be a load of BS. It is Twitter, after all. I couldn't see it myself, but then stranger things have happened.

    I'm from Belfast as well, and as jamestoni might agree, the antics have gone down like a fart in a spacesuit.

    To be fair to Carl, he's made no secret he wants to earn as much as he can before he retires. Shane seemed to think there was maybe 5 left in him. Who's going to get him more ££, Cyclone or Matchroom?

    Maybe he goes back to matchroom. Matchroom have far more promotion reach than cyclone.

    I think that rumor was started by an account called 'Eddie Hearns' so I wouldn't put much credence to it.

    Why is there obviously a split coming?
