    I think it's win win. The fight will generate enough so Quigg will still earn a lot.

    If Frampton turns it down he can keep defending with voluntaries and maybe land the other two champs. Because I think Hearn knows Quigg will be the underdog going in. Not saying he can't win cause I think it'll be close but common sense says he's an under dog.

    Although Fastcar rarely touches on it, there is undoubtably some pressure from the Sky bigwigs for Matchroom to promote high profile shows and even increase event viewing figures. Likewise for PPV events to generate the most buys possible.

    However regardless of Sky, I would have though it was in Matchroom's interest to promote big domestic super fights (which I guess is the category Quigg - Frampton / Brook - Khan would fall into) which if managed and promoted correctly would make them a fair few quid.

    Think u will find Sky call all the shots regarding magchroom tv shows so think they can be classed as Eddies boss.

    After the huge success of Groves Froch 2 Sky wanted to build on that. Unfortunately for Eddie and Sky they havent as yet. Think the plan was to have 2-3 big ppv a year one at Wembley. Hence Eddie comming across desperate for the Wembley show to be nailed down.

    Think Eddie is under huge pressure to deliver this year with big fights. Clev Bellew 2 put a massive spanner in the works.

    If it was me running matchroom and if what eddie says about AJ is true Fury AJ Wembley before 2016

    But then you have the total morons who would have Joshua fighting top 5 fighters. He is a baby in heavyweight terms and was a late starter. He is coming along just fine.
