Hearn offers a 2 fight deal for - Frampton v Quigg

[Fenster]

It makes the most money and most sense that it is in Belfast first

Does Frampton have the bigger following then?

Yes. The whole of Belfast/Ireland.

But there's not a venue big enough in Northern Ireland to have the fight in the winter. Quigg-Frampton is big enough to pack out 20,000 in Manchester

Yea Oddyssey is only 10,000 but the atmosphere gets unrteal. Fighting in Manchester would be a home fight for Frampton. Be 15 - 18000 Irish there just like the time McCloskey fought Khan. The 2 should meet in the middle and fight in the Millenium stadium with the roof closed. Would it sell 80,000 tickets? Probably not but with a good undercard maybe.

Those Irish Protestant Frampton fans would love a trip to a fellow Celtic nation and it's a short trip for Quigg fans.

Calzaghe only did 50 000 against Kessler IIRC. If they can nearly pack the MEN with a Quigg/Crolla double bill I'm sure they can sell enough tickets to make the big stadium viable.

Doubt it does 50,000, especially in a neutral area. Although Frampton has a terrific home following, the smaller divisions don't do the numbers the bigger ones do (unless you're Naz). Quigg/Crolla double bill did 14,000. Sky's top viewing figures are for AJ.

Andy Lee-BJS is set up for 33,000. Last week at the second press conference Frank Warren said they'd sold 8,000 tickets so far. They're trying to get Katie Taylor and Spike O' Sullivan etc on the card to help sell it.

Since Froch-Groves it seems any big fight/fighter thinks they can pack stadiums but that's clearly not the case.

Frampton is small framed, but if he needs to get heavier in order to make weight I'd bet his power would get much better also.

They could get thirty though. Calzaghe did thirty at the stadium with the Manfredo fight, they can definitely do more than 20.

I'm surprised Lee-Saunders isn't doing more than 8000 sales already. Even more surprising is Warren actually admitting something like that.
