Comments Thread For: UK Shocker: Carl Frampton Inks With Al Haymon!

[Humean]

I'm actually not that surprised, Frampton is not with Hearn and the US is the logical step, with all McGuigan's talk about fighting on free-to-air television it cannot be a shock that he has went with Haymon. Hopefully he gets the chance to batter Santa Cruz. Now i'm in the awkward position that one of my favourite fighters has signed with Haymon, i'm off to have a wee cry.

He had no intentions of fighting rigo before this lol

I think Rigo will eventually signed by Haymon too in September. He said that a big change will come in September when his contract with Hyde expires.
Now the thing is, Hyde is his manager not his promoter so if this would be about a new promoter than he shouldn't have to wait till September more likely he should have to wait till the Caribe contract expires. So what's left? A new manager and advisor. And who is the only manager/advisor in the game right now who works only with small promotion companies (Caribe check), not a promoter but still equals with "big change"? Al Haymon

Haymon has LSC under his wing, a good working relationship with Hearn and maybe signing Rigo later in the year.

Great news.

IDK what to make of this tbh. It'll probably be a good thing for Frampton's bank account, but hopefully his quality of opposition isn't affected. At least there's a better possibility for LSC/Frampton to materialize.

Some good fights to be made within the Haymon stable at Super Bantam/Featherweight. Hopefully Haymon delivers

[Chrismart]

Didn't see that one coming. Guess a Rigondeaux won't be happening any time soon then.

I wonder where it leaves the Quigg fight situation. Although that one looked like it wasn't going anywhere anyway.

I thought a Frampton-Quigg was mildly interesting, i would barely care about a Santa Cruz bout.

[knockoutkid]

so now he has two managers , hur hur hur, barry must be taking a cut. Thats what sky monopolisation does, kills everything hur hur.

Rigo must be next . Then it will be rigo , frampton , mares , santajoke ... No excuses to fight each other .
Good move for frampton, but when rigo signs with haymon , hope haymon makes this fight .

Hit and not be hit , you can not hit what you don't see .

Interesting signing, there's some real fights to be made here, hopefully we get LSC/Frampton.

It also makes sense for Haymon to add foreign fighters that can fill the afternoon US TV slots to sell to foreign markets.
