I don't see anything wrong with what Frampton is saying here. Hearn has signed Frampton's mandatory so he's got more negotiating leverage for this fight so he is involving himself as much as he can. Hearn wants it at the MEN for obvious reasons. McGuigan wants it in Belfast for obvious reasons. Frampton is the draw, Hearn has the Sky monopoly although I don't see this being a PPV event. If it is it'll be Northern Irish Frampton fans buying it so Frampton is the promotional A side here but Hearn is the A side promoter. So an impasse.

I don't think McGuigan is promoting Frampton for philanthropic reasons but he's definitely got his best interests at heart in this.
