Frampton v Quigg - February 27th 2016 Manchester Arena

[Fenster]

18 million viewers? You'll need a time machine for that.

Frampton's last two fights have been primetime on ITV, they haven't got more than 2 million viewers for either.

Could take a fight like this to make those figures and I dont just mean for this fight but either of their future fights or even a rematch.

They need loads of publicity. I think as well as boxing coaches, fighters who promoters are investing in should also have charisma and personality coaches. You need people to be emotive about the fighter to watch, love, hate, excitement.

It's not because the fighters are less popular today it's because there are billions of TV channels, internet etc. So people like Master, who complain about not getting everything for free, are sitting in front of their computer watching porn even when the boxing is free.

Also (this isn't a pop directly at you, Master) why any fan gives a fuck about how many people are watching boxing is beyond me. Casual fans get on my nerves more than the divs on here. At least on here I know the majority love boxing.

..because I believe mainstream fans are our future, teach them well and let them learn their way, show them all the beauty boxing has inside, give them a sense of pride, let the mainstream fans laughter remind us of we use to feel inside...

PPV is great because people who don't pay for it get to listen to it on Radio which is great for the Listening figures.
I will be paying to see this one however as it is a good matchup of domestic fighters.

Quigg on points with the help of a couple of knock downs

The jab will be the key to the fight. Frampton has a beauty and if he can get it working he will win.

Yep. When Benn and Eubank became massive names there were four TV channels. OK, Sky had started the year before their first fight but they only had a few subscribers. No internet, no mobile phones, no social media, four channels on the telly. And boxing had up to the seventies been one of two guaranteed ratings hits, more than football believe it or not. So lots of people in the eighties with a memory of watching big fights (when there were two and three channels).

There's so much what we now call content these days, TV, internet, mobile communications and so on, that everything now is just fragmented and there's no way to replicate those mass audiences again. Maybe if England ever get to the semi finals of the World Cup, but otherwise no.

Also Master, watch less porn, more boxing. Otherwise you're going to have tog et your shirts specially made.

[Beanz]

Have always back Quigg in what should be a barnstormer. Still think he is too clever boxing wise to fall into Framptons traps. Scott will box to a plan and that will be the undoing of Frampton. Quigg by bodyshot KO, mid rounds.

Just booked flights for this. Only 20euro return so bargain even if I fail to get tickets.
