Would Frampton look like a hypocrite if he signs with Eddie?

After all the snide remarks and previous press conferences can he really go and sign with Fast car?

No.

Personally I'd love it if he did.

He will get the fights he wants and make a shite load of cash and he knows it

This is boxing and he should make as much money as possible regardless of who he's with.

Would he look like a hypocrite? Yeah, probably.

Would it matter? No.

Cash is King.

Could he deliver big fights for him - Yes
Could be make him big money - Yes
Could he do outdoor at Windsor Park - Yes

Don't need to like him if he delivers you the above.

Funny if he did and sat in their first big fight press conference saying "I still say he's a prick and it's in my contract that I get to take him in the ring and smack him about if he gets me 3 big fights"

Agree with everyone. It's a business decision. Incidentally, I strongly suspect Frampton has a lot of professional respect for Hearn. He comes across as a bright bloke and he will have seen how well he has done for many of his fighters.

Saw an interview with Hearn and he basically saying He doesn't have to like me. I can delver him big fights for big money. Hearn definitely wants the reunion

I get why folk think Eddie is daft and smug - but 'hate' is something I don't actually get ?

I think he's alright myself. Seems to be good to his fighters and pretty straight with the facts.

Gorgeous Eddie's on fire, fantastic promoter. He brings Sky PPV (=££££££'s) and the ability to land the BIG fights. Seems a natural fit to me, maybe his own promo company in a joint promotion with Matchroom

Yes, he will earn better and be in big fights. That's all he should consider.

Barry was like a dad to Carl but couldn't deliver financially.

Eddie can deliver financially but Carl hates him like an evil stepdad who's moved in with his mum.

Wouldn't FW be a decent halfway house in this situation ? Carl gets access to the BT Sport coffers and gets a promoter who isn't the father figure Barry was but isn't the slimy lounge lizard essex wide boy wannabe silver spoon tw4t that Carl perceives Eddie to be.

As Mickey Duff famously said of Lloyd Honeyghan - 'there's nothing in the contract that says he has to like me.'

Does he get those fights or £££ on BT/BN either ? We hear of all these big offers - but very few get signed.

They pulled out of McDonnell/Butler after making one of these offers.

Rumour I've heard that he could be linking up with Jamie Moore

Interesting choice - I thought he might go overseas and get away like Luke Campbell and get head down elsewhere.

I didn't expect this one I thought he would go with a more high profile trainer, but it's just what I've heard today

I am sure there are other cases of fighters who can't stand their promoter. The thing is that Eddie and Frampton are the best for each other. Eddie gets a massive name and Frampton would get what he wants, in fact Frampton is a big enough that he could get big names over to the UK with the draw he has.
