seriously impressed with the Jackal he did everything well and I can see him unifying the division sooner or later.
The McGuigans have done a top job and seem to have a decent group of fighters coming through.
The atmosphere looked electric and loads of fun last night so let's hope ITV stick with them in the future.
Wonder what the ratings were?
Didn't see the fight but yes he seems to have a toughness to go with his engine.
Frampton looked quality and I want more fights like this before Quigg because I know that will be on sky ppv platform because they are all cunts about that.
Therefore I want loads of defences on ITV before that happens.
Yeah money wise sky makes more sense which would be a shame as ITV could be onto a winner with Frampton.
We need channel 5 and ITV with BBC investing in boxing.
Itv
Edit - Opening post was changed so my witty reply made no sense.
Probably by @Master who removes all the funny mistakes (as 99% of them are his).
Is it on itv?
McGuigan and his mob were a bit out of order rubbishing Quiggs title.
Frampton became "world" champion by beating a man he had previously knocked out. And in a division that has a universally recognised standout champion, that everyone is terrified of, that makes that IBF belt worth two bob, just like Quiggs and Santa Cruz's are.

1.1m average? Surely that can't be impressive. Fury and DeGale were beating that on 5. Prejudice against the "little" men
Lets get back to SKY so we can make the Quigg fight.
1.9 million on ITV (peak Audience and 450,00 on Irish TV is good figures and it wasn't even really advertised that much.
TV Viewing Figures for Carl Frampton v Chris Avalos -
Quigg fight has to be on Sky so let's hope McGuigan doesn't "stall" that to continue working with ITV but i have a feeling he might just do that to build up Framptons audience to the Terrestrial/average man in the street audience.
Catch 22 situation really :-\
Forget Quigg, let him come to ITV.Quote:

If ITV are serious about getting back into Primetime World Boxing broadcasts then they need to seriously invest in the sport or come up with a solution to compete with Sky PPV events.
That is very difficult as people simply expect to watch it for free as terrestrial tv is and should be.
