Thread: McGuigan wants a minimum of 60/40 for Frampton-Quigg (Quack quack)

Eddie Hearn prepared to go to Carl Frampton with improved offer to fight Scott Quigg | Boxing News | Sky Sports

"Scott Quigg doesn't merit 50% of the purse. Carl has won all his title fights. He's taken risks. He's buying out arenas. He's been a headline act; all of the things that Quigg has not done. When you come into this fight with a voluntary defense, the guy gets as much as the champion wants to pay him. Or even in the mandatory position, it's still a 75/25% situation. So we said we'd start at 70/30 but the least we would take would be 60/40, and they wouldn't play ball. It's as simple as that."

Bullshit in my opinion. His reasoning is terrible. I always felt Frampton would win, but Quigg suggested 50-50 or 60-40 to the winner, Hearn is the one making the offers, no reasonable counter offer from McGuigan and Quigg has been chasing him around. Hearn said he signed Quigg for Frampton but Frampton walked away and went with McGuigan. If they continue with this shite it is a flat out duck. They're at the same level for fucks sake.

Seems everythings a duck these days.

McGuigan wants more power. Frampton is bringing everything to the table bar the PPV platform. Realistically if it wasnt for the sky monopoly a 60/40 split in Framptons favour would be a great deal for Quigg.

If quigg beats Martinez by ko and wins well , it should be a 50/50 fight , but Martinez is a difficult fight for quigg .

This isn't about the split, it's about McGuigan not wanting Hearn dictating to him. But the harsh reality is Hearn has made an offer, if McGuigan don't like it, make a counter offer. Only he can't because he doesn't have the clout or cash that Hearn does.
That's why they've gone to Al Haymon. Now we'll see how much Haymon will back him. Or will Frampton fight no marks once every blue moon!
I said a long time ago that McGuigan/Frampton will end in tears, and it will, all because of McGuigan's greed!

One month later......

Quigg: 50-50 I'll Face Frampton, Problem is McGuigan - Boxing News

Nothing changed then. Saw Frampton will most likely fight Shingo Wake next.

Donaire-Quigg would be terrific. Love to see the odds for that

True but Quigg is with Hearn and Matchroom has that exclusive deal so 50-50 is a fair split. They're both champions, they're both undefeated and I'm not sure what these risks that Frampton has taken & Quigg hasn't are?

I suppose we'll see after tomorrow night. In my opinion Frampton's resume is better at this point in time but as mentioned above if Quigg wins well then it makes things close. I'm sure they'll get it on - there's too much public interest for it not to happen!

I dont see how these guys escape not fighting each other just like Khan/Brook. I doubt the British public lets them off the hook. They could get them on the same card except next Barry will accept 50/50 if Scott goes to Ireland. I'm not sure they could pull it off in the States.


I dont care how they do it, they just need to.

Barry Mac is turning into Barney Eastwood it seems,!!!!!! he just seems to be going down the same road
with Frampton I hope I am wrong.

I agree! They'll not get away without facing each other unless one of them incurs a defeat before then. Might take away some of the public interest - another reason to get the fight on sooner rather than later.

Writers and fans have been hoodwinked in this sport with all this talk of A side and percentage and deserves. All this respect nonsense. What matters is actual money that changes hands. Not what percentage I will... If Hearn has the better promotional situation bringing more money to the party his guy gets more whether he deserves it or not. People need to look past this percentage stuff and see the end. If Hearn offers Frampton the most money then it is a good offer. A good percentage that pays 1 million is not as good as a worse percentage that pays 2 million.

There are ego's as well as money to consider and bragging rights mainly from the managers and promoters.

Who fuck are these guys again i have no idea are they the same dudes that wont fight rigo or is that different weight class. Either way trying to get more money is not ducking it a smart thing to do because god knows fans give no shit about what your health will be.
