Small little victory for FW today

[lefty]

After Frampton Jumping ship its looking like there's a little ray of sunshine for old Frankie! The guy has been taking a kicking lately in regards to fighters leaving him and today was almost im not done yet you bastards!

[Parson Cross]

Anyone who wrote him off were being foolish.
Having said that, once negotiations with Hearn broke down, realisically what were the alternatives ?
I just hope Frampton is happy with this and it's not a case of McGuigan taking care of his own vested interest.

[jizzle]

But Smith and Dodson has gone over to Matchroom...

Does that mean that Smith has jumped over? :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: :surprised:

To be fair though, he really has been taking a kicking lately in terms of losing his marquee fighters and it must been getting him down. Like you said though he's a resilient so and so!

In all honesty without meaning to sound rude, I dont really care about Smith and Dodson and this rematch. Id much rather see Smith vs Anderson but I understand thats not Smith's fault as Anderson is taking a break from boxing at the moment.

This break from boxing - voluntary or compulsory?

I think it's voluntary. I think he's had some family/personal problems.

Frampton is arguably as big as the fighters he has lost.

Not Burns.

I don't know, The Odyssey looked pretty full against Mollitor and the Irish market can be very lucrative. He has also got a potential domestic blockbuster with Quigg in the offing.

remember how many turned out for Bernard Dunne, for example?

I guess it depends on how he gets matched from here out. Currently he isn't even as big a draw as Burns I wouldn't say. Don't know how big the Quigg fight will be now its not on Sky either? A lot of promotional muscle has been lost there.

That being said, Frampton is a massive coup for W@rren, depending on how the split with McGuigan works. And sooner rather than later he could well be the biggest of all the defected fighters. Just not quite yet.

Just goes to show that you can never write Bunny off Good luck to him love him or loathe him he is good for the sport as is all competition coz its a competitive world

Ha ha ha - take that nice guy Eddie! Give it 2 years and the matchroom ship will have sailed!

Now let's hope Frampton and Quigg are on a collision course - could be a massive fight if marketed right

It is going to be a fight which isn't on the biggest network, how will it be massive? It won't crossover.

It is a massive fight, but if you listen to McGuigan he wants titles, not an extremely tough domestic matchup.

I beg to differ. The Hatton-McGuigan factors make it more interesting. 2 of our best in the past backing 2 of our best in the future.

Just because it isn't on the almighty Sky doesn't make it anyless attractive. Try saying that when Canelo -Floyd is on allegedly aswell!

Mayweather v Canelo is another massive fight, do you think it will do massive numbers? I don't.

I'm sold on the Quigg v Frampton fight, but its hardly going to crossover to the mainstream. It isn't a PPV quality fight, though it is essentially what it will be to the majority who don't have BN.

[bripez]

I agree - I would love to see Frampton and Quigg fight, but the bloke in the street couldn't care less.

As sad as it is, if I was fighting Audley it would get better viewing figures than this fight.

Also, can you really see Fwank and Lickle Ricky sitting round a table and agreeing a deal ? - not likely.

Can you imagine McGuigan Vs Dunne in Dublin, the atmosphere would be incredible.

[palooka]

It's more than a small victory - people were doing the last rights over FW a couple of months ago on here and some were happy that fast eddie was blazing a trail. FW will not fade away and make it easy; the rights and wrongs of McGuigans actions are beyond me as I don't know the man and can only imagine. He has been in boxing a long time and knows the ins and outs; Frampton is a good boxer and so is Quigg, I'll watch that one for sure if it comes off and I wouldn't put it as impossible that FW doesn't get some sort of a deal with Quigg or his handlers.

[WelshJack]

FW will never be defeated he will now pull off some big shows now starting with Wembley which is looking like another very good card.
