    Imagine Eddie in the Matchroom office thinking about it and then suddenly ****ing the table in a state of rage. Deep down Eddie knows he's been defeated - poor him, lol.
    You hope that one of the biggest fights in boxing doesn't get made because you don't like a promoter? And you needed to log into your alt account to say that?

      I have really sat down and watched Carl, I have to finish up this weekend, but I am incredibly impressed. Hearn knows his goose is cooked, so he might as well cash Quigg out on this one.

        Pretty much a home fight in my opinion.
        Not sure what kind of stadium you're talking about, but I have no idea of an Irish venue that would approach 21,000 seats for a fight in November; weather for an outside venue would in all likelihood be terrible.

        The rematch (win or lose) is probably ending up in a Northern Ireland/Ireland soccer stadium.

          Haymon being in Frampton's corner, in addition to Haymon bringing Showtime along for the US airing rights on the fight (PBC wanting to present a unified-style product across the entire group of channels, doesn't really afford for UK-driven presentation on the broader deal), will make sure of that.

          60/40 to Frampton, with Matchroom basically driving the event and carrying the fight on Sky Box Office, is likely how things end up getting split; keep McGuigan from messing the egos up, though.

            Winner gets 60-40 for the next fight. If the next is another winner, than 50-50 for the decider.

            Pretty simple.
            60-40 Frampton for the first fight is fine; the questions arise when you're trying to negotiate the rest of the terms:

            -Sky Box Office offers far more money to the pot for the fighters than ITV, Team Frampton's preferred fight
            -There's seemingly no venue in Northern Ireland that Team Frampton can bring to the table that puts more money into the pot for a late fall fight than the MEN Arena

            Beyond the issues for this first fight, a ton more emerge when presumptive talks about a rematch come up.

            If Frampton wins the first fight, McGuigan is likely going to want to have a ton more say in how the terms are negotiated (Hearn and Haymon seem comfortably able to work through things to get to a final deal, but I see the personal animus between Hearn and McGuigan muddying things up, especially if McGuigan sees himself with having some leverage). Venue would most likely be in Northern Ireland/Ireland, but Team Frampton would likely push for the rematch to be on their broadcaster, ITV, in a ddition to likely wanting to take a larger share of the pot.

            If Quigg wins the first fight, Hearn will likely push for a 50/50 split of the pot and maximizing the the pot for the rematch (soccer stadium in Northern Ireland/Ireland, fight on Sky Box Office, etc). Imagine if Hearn thinks the fight launched Quigg to a point that the fight is big enough for Old Trafford.

            A lot more complicated than one could imagine
