I don't buy that Frampton against Quigg is a huge event. It's a big fight but to be huge Quigg needs to at least have a big following to buy the PPV. Quigg hasn't even looked good at world level either, if you can even call the guys he's fought for the belt world level.The tickets will almost all go to Frampton fans and the vast majority of the PPV buys will be Frampton fans too.

But Hearn has control of the PPV mechanism and he's using that to try and dictate the terms of the fight. Team Frampton are wisely saying you give us a fair deal or we'll go our own sweet way.

Rigo coming to the UK won't change that. He'll get two or three newspaper articles then be yesterday's news again. Both the Frampton and Quigg people have wanted absolutely nothing to do with him up to now and I can't see that changing. Rigo might have huge kudos amongst boxing fans but he doesn't make Frampton much more money than some top ten guy who will fight for little money. Hearn could probably build Rigo versus Quigg into a decent-selling fight, maybe fill an arena with a stacked card but Hearn obviously thinks Quigg would lose.
