    I think so.. But especially if it's Quigg because he's English. Sky Box office is a platform that makes boxers well known.

    Haye became a big name after the Maccirnelli fight, before that he was only known by proper boxing fans. I think the same will happen with the winner of this.

    Frampton's only big in Ireland lets be honest. Casuals in mainland Britain don't know who he is yet.

    Frampton turned down the chance to go in Celebrity Big Brother, he shouldve gone in ... it wouldve boosted his profile!

    Though judging by him at the latest pressers maybe he made the right choice he might have lost his rag.

    They don't know who Quigg is either!

    At least Carl is popular where he comes from!

    true but he should be. Frampton's big in in Northern Ireland because they appreciate their top boxers over there, and they become big names because of their achievements/ability

    Whereas in England you usually only become a big name if ..
    your from a race of people that are awful at sport and that whole race/religion desperately follows you - Khan
    Or you have a fight in press conference/behave like a prat - Chisora
    Or you are on Strictly Come Dancing and Subway adverts - Ogogo

    True. But Quigg has been on tons of big shows and always had good performances.

    Blame his "promoter" for him not being as popular as he should be.

    At the lighter weights it is trickier to become a household name unless you have a crowd pleasing style or are incredibly charismatic. Neither Frampton or Quigg are although that's not to say they couldn't be in the future- especially if they somehow unify the division.

    Easy for frampton to be popular, how many other Irish fighters have that got that are any good that fight regularly in Ireland, simple logistics means frampton has more fans.....how many fighter come from Manchester, loads.

    Four better fighters?? Why because they were good ams!! Frampton yes, other three done nothing in the pro game yet, amazing prospects though!

    My point being easy to get behind Frampton and sell an arena out when he is the only decent name in big fights in one city to get behind, simple fact.

    Bullsheet.

    Manchester is smaller than Belfast.

    Crolla is the only real ticket seller in Manny.

    Scott's promoter should do more for him or Scott should do more for himself.
