Comments Thread For: Frampton-Quigg Negotiations Reach A Posturing Point

[gmc_rfc_06]

I will also just add to this that i'm not pretending matchroom don't know what they are doing, or tat they aren't even playing some kind of game, doing this publicly, but it's obvious for whatever reason the negotiations aren't going well.

Whenever eddie or scott are asked, they say it's stalled, or a very vague, not great, we'll see how things progress etc. As for carl and cyclone, they have zero media exposure and we never get their side of the story.

But, 1.5m and a title shot seems like a decent offer. For arguments sake, if they believe they are being massively undercut and the fight could make 8m for example. Then why not offer quigg the exact same deal, give him 1.5, frampton gets a % cut of the 8m total. Quigg said he would accept it.

The problem here is that Eddie is doing his negotiations through the media. Whenever this starts happening it's usually a clear indication that they are trying to win a PR war so that if the fight falls through, they can use their Sky platform to fool the general public into believing it was the other side at fault.

Frampton is higher ranked, he is the bigger draw and he is also a proper champion while Quigg was basically handed his belt.

The terms should be kept private until they are finalized or until they fall through. Eddie is using his bigger platform to play PR games.

What ever happened to Gary Hyde going after the WBA about ordering Rigo v Quigg?
