This would be the perfect chance to 1 of them to take a step back and say "ya know what, you have the home dressing room. I'm guna knock you out either way".

Oh is that what it means?
You could remove the word entitled from that definition and replace it with Carl Frampton.
Frampton is travelling to Manchester, Quiggs hometown, to fight in Quiggs "Arena"...
I thought it was Quigg's home fight?
If you don't think Frampton is arrogant fine, but to get everything he wanted in the negotiations and then to go to all the press conferences telling everyonw and repeating the A-side line at every opportunity is either arrogance or insecurity, and it's quite pathetic, but some fighters need to feel like they're special and I guess Frampton's ego is that delicate, it'll make it all the more devastating if he were to lose.

Frampton is the A-Side fighter. Its neither arrogance nor insecurity to tell the truth. Carl, Scott, Barry and Eddie all agree on this matter...

Frampton seems more rattled than I've seen before, just hope it drives him on to a cracking performance, rather than lead him to making crucial mistakes
It really is a sad state of affairs when this sort of thing happens and the only interesting part in this is to see how one party gets thereself out
of the situation, both have been interviewed and both categorically stated that they would be in that dressing room.
Whilst it has absolutely no interest to most of us whom is in the dressing room come fight time, I do think strangely that one of them is going to be less than pleased if the other ends up in the "best" dressing room.
Frampton is rattled, and has been for the entire build up - He's far too involved in all aspects of this fight, and in my opinion it's not doing him any favours other than wasting precious energy.
He looks gaunt to me, doubt he'll stay at this weight, win or lose.
theres nothing to believe brother.
I get it you are a Quigg fan.
But on the subject of who is the A-side in this fight, everybody is in agreement bar you...

First of all, I'm not a particular fan of either fighter, I was actually more of a Frampton fan prior to the build up of this fight as I prefer his style, but he's come across supremely arrogant and not likeable so I do want Quigg to win, and for the record I never argued who was the 'A-side' I genuinely laugh at anyone who even cares, let alone who is prepared to argue about it.

Quigg might not be the brightest, but he's handled the build up brilliantly. Can't even remember seeing him as much as frown never mind get genuinely peed off. Frampton comes across as a cool, switched on lad but for some reason, he loses that cool when it comes to Quigg. He's desperate to prove he's the better boxer which could play into Quigg's hands if Carl is too amped up and gets careless.

Pretty much how I see it, it's surprising a fighter as experienced as Carl allows himself to become so wound up, Eddie really pushes his buttons too for some reason.

I can guarantee Quigg and Hearn weren't laughing when caving in to Team Framptons demands.
I hope they cave in once again, and Frampton gets Quiggs dressing room in Quiggs arena.

been saying the same, letting outside factors bother him.

yeah, fancy that. I don't often give Eddie Hearn credit for much- and this really isn't much- but he does strike me as the type who, if he realised he had got under someone's skin, would recognise it and turn the screw mercilessly and remorselessly.
it's the kind of thing they learn at expensive boarding schools, I believe.
Quigg has absolutely destroyed Frampton from day one in the build up. It's definitely "Round 0" to Quigg.
Wanted Quigg to win from the day it was announced but the head said otherwise. This week so far I've leaned more and more towards Quigg though. For all Frampton's fictitious "Boxing IQ" being superior, it seems that is quite easily over-ridden by emotion. If he had as much acumen in that department as he likes to tell people, he wouldn't get drawn into things the way he has in the build up.
Can see this happening to Frampton on the night too. If things don't go according to his plan from the opening bell he'll get emotionally charged and ultimately flattened. Same as he has been for the past two months when things haven't quite gone his way.

Quigg is absolutely pissed off about this dressing room rubbish, Frampton has got him wasting plenty of energy on this.
Frampton has seem pissed off. However, it doesn't just follow he will fight uncontrolled....he is likely to just want the fight on, and that is when the business really starts.
