Carl Frampton's partnership with Barry McGuigan 'may be close to ending'

Carl Frampton's partnership with Barry McGuigan 'close to ending'
Carl Frampton's partnership with manager Barry McGuigan may be close to ending, BBC Sport NI understands.

Frampton's scheduled bout with Andres Gutierrez on 29 July was called off.

Frampton, 30, was one pound overweight for the bout but the contest was still scheduled to go ahead until the Mexican was injured after slipping in a shower.

When asked on Wednesday whether there was a rift in the camp and if a split was imminent, McGuigan's Cyclone Promotions declined to comment.

Frampton, meanwhile, was unavailable for comment.

After the late postponement of the 29 July bout, Frampton and McGuigan both apologised to the public but BBC Sport NI has been told by reliable sources that, behind the scenes, the relationship is beginning to unravel.

Less than 10 days before Frampton's scheduled contest with Gutierrez, the Belfast boxer resigned as a director of Cyclone Promotions.

Frampton guided by McGuigan since 2009

Frampton has been guided by McGuigan since signing a professional deal with the former world featherweight champion in 2009 and the duo's relationship had appeared exceptionally close until very recently.

The fighter is also trained by McGuigan's son Shane while the manager's wife Sandra and their other sons Blain and Jakeare also heavily involved in Cyclone Promotions.

Earlier this year, there was a three-part documentary series on BBC TV, Fight Game: The McGuigans, which looked at the inner workings of Cyclone Promotions and followed closely Frampton's preparations for both his world title bouts in the US with Leo Santa Cruz.

After landing the European belt by beating Kiko Martinez in February 2013, Frampton defeated the Spaniard again 19 months later to win his first world title as he clinched the IBF super-bantamweight title.

Frampton added the WBA belt to the IBF crown in February 2016 as he overcame England's Scott Quigg in one of three successful world super-bantamweight title defences before defeating Leo Santa Cruz in New York to win the WBA featherweight title just over a year ago.

That sensational win made him Northern Ireland's first ever two-weight world champion and he was later named boxer of 2016 by both Ring Magazine and ESPN.

However, Santa Cruz avenged his New York defeat as he beat Frampton in Las Vegas to regain the WBA featherweight title last January.

After six months out of the ring, Frampton was supposed to fight Gutierrez in his home town just over two weeks ago but the Mexican's slip in his shower ultimately saw that fight being called out at the 11th hour after the Belfast man had been one pound overweight on the scales earlier in the day.

Frampton looked uncomfortable as he and McGuigan were jointly interviewed following the bizarre series of events which led to the cancellation of the Gutierrez contest.

BBC Sport NI understands that the postponement of the contest put added pressure on an already strained relationship and the expectation now is that Frampton will attempt to leave Cyclone Promotions.

@Master always puts the link after the article that he has pasted

Yeah Master would never be straight in there with an article/link off the bat. He'd wait until at least half a dozen people have discussed the matter, then just as they begin to move on to different subjects, bam! In he comes with his no longer news news.

Poor effort Im afraid :-\

If I was gunna do an @Master impression it'd be something like this...

I hate Floyd
I hate Eddie
I hate Floyd
I won't pay for fights
I hate Floyd
PPV is a rip off
I tell bad jokes in the joke thread
Eddie Hearn is a prick
I CHASED OFF PAUL KEVIN

God damn you Master, you broke my heart when you sent that lovely young man away with your constant bullying.

I often stare at the setting sun and wonder what PK is doing now, I often imagine that he is working tirelessly to feed the homeless or rescuing kittens from burning houses and just being fucking great, unfortunately we will never know thanks to Master 😢

Sorry guys, I clearly didn't do my homework. A poor effort on my behalf. What with this and my posts on Little guys and p4p on the other thread, I'm not having a very good day! 😂

Oh, PK's around..... with a new alt.

He'll emerge soon enough.

Barry is a god and was because he fought on the BBC where he got his loyal fan base. That night fighting Pedroza at QPR ground was unforgettable. Millions were watching and sky could never get those figures.

Frampton will always be like a son to him. They leave on good terms. They will forever be friends.

You are all cunts and I hate you all more than I do Eddie.

looks like him and Shane are splitting up as well. Cue loads of gloating and "I told you so's" from me! ;D;D;D

Why did he have to leave Shane? Stupid move from Carl.

Interesting. Clearly Frampton blames them in some way for the Santa Cruz loss, and there was definitely something odd going on behind the scenes in the Gutierrez preparations.

Hopefully, one day we will find out.

You always end up looking a bit silly when this happens after you have been proclaiming your family type relationship, trust and love all over the media. Barry did the same thing with Barney Eastwood back in the day.

Eastwood made Barry bankrupt.

​Yes, sort of ...... but didn't he become bankrupt because he lost the court case against Eastwood?

So let me get this right. Mcguigan sues Eastwood, Eastwood defends himself, the courts side with him and somehow that's Eastwood's fault , or perhaps the Judges, or the Jury, or indeed anybody but McGuigan?
And we're to believe Eastwood ripped off McGuigan. Hmmmm, possible, but remind me again, what was the title of that song that McGuigan released that got in the charts?
Oh, yeah, I remember........ "THANK YOU MR. EASTWOOD" !!

Carl Frampton: Eddie Hearn wants former world champion back at Matchroom

Eddie Hearn says he will give Carl Frampton a Belfast fight with Leo Santa Cruz if he joins his Matchroom stable.

The former two-weight world champion from Belfast ended his long-standing partnership with Barry McGuigan's Cyclone Promotions earlier this month.

Matchroom promoted Frampton fights early in his career and Hearn says they have "unfinished business".

"He's a box office star - I can offer him Windsor Park fights, Leo Santa Cruz in Belfast," said Hearn.

Frampton wants to complete a trilogy of fights with Santa Cruz, with Windsor Park his preferred venue.

The Mexican won their second duel in January to avenge his defeat by Frampton last year and regain the WBA featherweight title.

http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps...602924_jan.jpg

The 30-year-old split with his then-manager McGuigan's Cyclone Promotions earlier this month after Frampton's comeback fight with Andres Gutierrez was postponed a day before the planned Belfast bout.

Frampton weighed in one pound over the featherweight limit and hours later the fight was called off when the Mexican was injured after slipping in the shower.

Matchroom and Frampton parted ways in 2013 because of a potential conflict of interest with McGuigan, who also wanted to be his joint-promoter.

Four years later and Hearn wants Frampton back in his stable and with a possible fight later this year.

"He'll want to fight as soon as possible. It's September on Friday and you've got to get moving to get a fight this year," added the promoter.

"I'm sure he's going to be talking to people soon - I'm presuming he'll talk with us. We would be keen to do so and we're very keen to work with Carl Frampton.

"I don't know if he likes me but we don't have to be friends. I can give him the big fights he wants and buckets loads of money as well."

Carl Frampton confirms Jamie Moore as new trainer after split from McGuigans

Belfast boxer Carl Frampton has confirmed Jamie Moore as his new trainer after his split from Cyclone Promotions and Shane McGuigan.

The two-weight world champion confirmed on Twitter that he would be linking up with Moore, who has worked with Matthew Macklin and Tommy Coyle.

Moore won Irish, British, Commonwealth and European titles during his career.

Frampton, 30, ended his long-standing partnership with Barry McGuigan's Cyclone Promotions last month.

The split came after the Northern Irishman's comeback fight with Andres Gutierrez was postponed a day before it was due to take place at the end of July.

Frampton weighed in one pound over the featherweight limit and hours later the fight was called off when the Mexican was injured after slipping in the shower.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/41177693

Carl Frampton has joined MTK Global with the company acting in an advisory role with the former two-weight world champion.

"I feel they can get me the best deal with a promoter," said Framption, who aims to fight again later this year.

The British Boxing Board of Control said last week that Barry McGuigan was still contracted as Frampton's manager.

Frampton's legal team later told the board they believed his management contract with McGuigan was over.

The Belfast featherweight said he was a "free agent" a fortnight ago.

Frampton resigned as a director of McGuigan's Cyclone Promotions just before his last scheduled fight in July, which was controversially cancelled when his opponent suffered injuries after he slipped in the shower.

The 30-year-old is now trained by former British, Commonwealth and European champion Jamie Moore.

MTK Global is run by Matthew Macklin, a former European middleweight champion who works as a boxing manager.

Frampton's targets include a third fight with Leo Santa Cruz after January's defeat by the Mexican.

"There was always the possibility that I could go my own way," added the 30-year-old.

"But to have someone on your side advising you and getting you the best deal possible is always important and I feel Matthew Macklin and MTK Global can definitely do that.

"It would be my dream come true to fight Leo Santa Cruz in the third fight at Windsor Park and beat him, that would be pretty perfect and ideal.

"Lee Selby is a potential fight that I want, Gary Russell Jnr, Abner Mares - these are the kind of names and calibre of fighters that I want to face at some point."

Slight case of dejavu here, Barry has issued proceedings against Frampton, Frampton intends to fully defend himself and is issuing a counter claim against Barry.

So much for being BFF's

Oh yeah, it's only money enit? So easy to say when it's somebody Else's money!
If he feels he's been shafted, why should he just roll over and accept it?
I don't know who is in the wrong and who is in the right (like everybody, I've got my opinion on that), but all I know is that I fucking predicted all of this YEARS AGO, and you know that!
But you didn't want to see it , because you thought that the McGuigans and Frampton were like something out of "the little house on the prairie!"

It is only money, look at Hatton and Billy Graham or Hamed and Ingle. Just stupidity because years after they realise that what they had was more important.

Yep, and unicorns exist and Elvis is still alive! :rolleyes:
Mate, it's not about money, it's about feeling deceived and shafted by people you entrusted your whole life in.
Like I said , I don't know who's right or wrong, maybe they both are. But they are proud men who feel like they've been fucked over.

The only guys that win are the lawyers.

They both stated that they left on good terms and that should have been the end of it. Whoever instigated it should have left it alone. It is vindictive, spiteful and counter productive.

Uh, really?

http://www.boxingscene.com/carl-fram...s-wife--125102

There are all sorts of rumours going around, and it is all gonna come out! There's even stories about how that Boxer who "fell in the shower" got those injuries! Heavy stuff.
@Master , you're idol is not gonna come out smelling of roses, I guarantee that.

It is unfortunate that it has come to this.

I have just watched Ricky Hatton on Box Nation celebrating his win against Kostya and he had Warren next to him and Ricky said he has made up with Billy Graham too.

This is going to be the same even if it takes 10 years to figure it out.

Yeah, and Unicorns are real! Ffs.:LOS:

I predicted every part of Framptons career, from noob to top ten p4p (proof on this website somewhere)

I knew he’d lose rematch and I said he wouldn’t fight under Barry again.

I’m lost as to what he does next, ideally resign to MR.

Fuck me, you gonna walk another 500 miles, and then walk 500 more!;D

@Master , here's one for you .

https://www.boxingscene.com/carl-fra...-court--125674

Obviously , there's gonna be a lot of "he said, she said" nonsense, but I would say if Frampton is saying he wouldn't have entertained working with him if he knew he was a disqualified Director in the past, then he's talking nonsense. Like I say, that's not an overall view of the matter, just that one little bit.
This is gonna get very, very Messy!

This is lawyer speak and nonsense.

Idiots, they should part away amicably as they are wasting energy, resources and time over this when Frampton should just move on with his career.

Easy for you to say, you’re not the one who thinks he’s been ripped off!! I’m not saying who’s right and who’s wrong (although I could hazard a guess.) but you can’t tell them to “make friends,make friends, never never break friends!”
