Why do people dislike Quigg - is it because of Hearn?

    If he was with any other promoter would there be as much dislike for this kid? Quigg comes across as a likeable guy yet gets unfair bashing for tiny things like not being good infront of the camera, imho it's his c o c k of a promoter who is making people turn against him. Trying to make Quigg another PPV 'star' for Daddy's company.

    Quigg, as a person, is likeable albeit dim (to say the least).

    Hearn is really screwing his career up. Quigg is regressing under Hearn, fact.

    Quigg is no PPV star, any which way you try and cut it.

    I agree with you both he seems likeable. It's more the opposition that people have issues with. Perhaps not his fault, but I'm sure if he does face Frampton it will win him over a lot of respect for stepping up.

    Because his big rival is Frampton who is Irish as we all know. The Irish are knuckle-draggers and so dislike Scott as they know he is a real threat.

    This is further evidence by Frampton repeatedly ducking him.

    Quigg said last night that there is a date of 20th June set aside for him against Frampton. Frampton's move apparently...

    This! It's something that Hearn (and Scott) are clinging onto and for what reason I don't know!

    Didn't Scott DRAW with the fighter when he 'won' that belt?

    By the way most people do NOT dislike Quigg at all.
    Also plenty regard Carl as British.
    Come on Solaris....

    yeah, not only that but that guy isn't even remotely good either. in his case it's as paper as a paper belt can be.
    his opposition is very mediocre for anyone ranked that highly, and the worst thing is constantly compared to Frampton's resume. While in reality both resumes are completely incomparable due to the huge gap between them.

    Who has Carl fought exactly? Nobody.

    His best win is a guy beaten twice by Rendall Munrow.
