Frampton

[Primo Carnera]

But what I'm saying is Frank could use Warrington as the bait to tempt Selby, Warrington gets his payday, Selby gets a decent payday with a relatively easy fight (imo) , but there are clauses that if he wins,he fights Frampton in a summer stadium fight in Ireland.
In that Scenario, all the fighters get the best deals possible and Frank gets more shows, more dough!
I'm no expert mind, but if I was Warren, that's what I would be looking to do.

Yeah I get what you're saying, Warren feeds Warrington to Selby with the Frampton fight next.

However, Warrington left Hearn after swerving the Selby fight (he - his team - admitted turning down the fight down several times, Hearn was always trying to make it). Not sure why they'd take it now?

And Frampton could have fought Selby on any platform (not now he's with Warren).

Be good if that happened though.

Warren is starting to build a good stable of fighters again plus he's got the platforms to do it.
He's long enough in the tooth and this could be good for Frampton $$$

Carl Frampton: Belfast boxer expected to fight in home city in November



Carl Frampton's first contest with new promoter Frank Warren is being tipped to take place in Belfast in November.

Frampton announced his link-up with Warren on Sunday and the duo will be in Belfast on Wednesday to reveal details of the ex-world champion's next bout.

Belfast's SSE Arena is available on Saturday 18 November and there is speculation that will be the date.

"I am thrilled we have the opportunity to showcase someone of his stature," Warren said on his website.

"Carl is a massive attraction in the sport and one of just a few where tickets are like gold dust whenever they get in the ring.

"The signing of Carl gives us a real foothold in Belfast, which is a great territory and one where we will continue to look to build up the local scene."

Frampton split with long-time promoter Barry McGuigan last month three weeks after the late postponement of his scheduled comeback fight in Belfast.

The bout was called off after his Mexican opponent Andres Gutierrez slipped in his hotel shower.

Over the weekend, Frampton, 30, said that he believed a promotional deal with Warren was the best means to secure the world title fight at Windsor Park that he craves.

Frampton won the IBF and WBA versions of the world super-bantamweight title before beating Leo Santa Cruz in July 2016 to clinch the WBA featherweight title.

However, Santa Cruz avenged his defeat last January to regain the featherweight title and Frampton has not fought since then.

Frampton is a very good fighter, rock solid at everything.

Has anyone else noticed how heavy he seems to be for his height? It's weird. He is heavily muscled and quite stocky, but is very short compared to other fighters at the weigh, especially now he has moved up.

I thought Santa Cruz's extra reach posed Carl some real issues in the most recent fight. Leo quite cleverly outboxed th shorter guy without engaging in a war like the the first fight.

Looking at Carl's physique, he shouldn't have jumped up the weight. Does he struggle with making weight?

Yeah , he does struggle at the weight. He was short , even at SBW, but insisted he couldn't do the weight anymore, so went up to FW. I really thought that would be his undoing against Santa Cruz in the 1st fight, but he fought very skilfully.
In the 2nd fight , LSC Made the necessary adjustments, and maybe now has learnt enough to have his number. But I've dismissed Frampton too many times and been proved wrong.
He even came in a pound over at FW last time out.
