Haymon signs Frampton

UK Shocker: Carl Frampton Inks With Al Haymon! - Boxing News

He's staying with McGuigan too. What do we think of this?

[Primo Carnera]

Not sure why he needs Haymon and McGuigan advising him. Just seems like more money out of his pot, I doubt McGuigan's slice is affected.
I'm a bit sceptical about this because I said a long time ago that Frampton and McGuigan would end in tears and Frampton will feel he's getting stitched up. I just hope this doesn't mean Frampton fights less frequently.
Maybe I'm wrong, we'll see. It's an interesting one though.

Frampton probably signed for a lot of money and US connection/access. Good move.

[Kirkland Laing]

McGuigan knows the landscape at 122 and 126. A lot of guys who would make big money fights for Frampton at those weights are already Haymon fighters so if you want to play you've got to pay.

Also, too, Rigondeaux is signing with a rapper apparently. So a perfect excuse to keep avoiding him.

Obviously McGuigan is reckoning Frampton gets from where he is now to the end of his career much more profitably if Haymon is part of the picture.

Frampton beats Rigondeaux

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

So does this mean his next fight will be Abner Mares

Or Takami Kamida or whatever his name is?!?!?

All that really matters is it won't be Rigo.

[Beanz]

All the way to America just to avoid Quigg ?

Or Quigg by the sounds of it.

FFS.

If it's not about money, I'd be surprised!

A few things. First, hopefully, this puts an end to the farce that is LSC. He's the clear opponent for Frampton out of Haymon's stable of fighters and Frampton has the tools to pack him up. Second, from what I've read Rigo purportedly won't fight while he waits for his contract to expire and then to sign with Haymon. Therefore, Frampton signing with Haymon probably makes the fight more likely than it was when he wasn't signed with Haymon. That said, Frampton is the ticket-seller and Haymon won't sacrifice him if he just signed him. Lolz at the guy who said Frampton beats Rigo. Third, this is probably why Frampton wouldn't sign to fight Quigg - he knew he was on the verge of signing with Haymon. Finally, is this Haymon's first of many UK signings?

I've heard Rigo ia going to sign with Roc Nation Sports, which if true, will make the 122lb divide wider.

Frampton beats Rigondeaux

McGuigan doesn't think so.

Hearn has the UK market sewn up. Haymon can't compete against Sky money in the UK because there isn't a TV deal he can sign to make it viable. Haymon does have guys like Santa Cruz and Mares and a bunch of other guys at or around Frampton's weight so it's a win win for both of them.
