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.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
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?
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
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.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Incidentally, the gym gossip is that he left McGuigan because he was still owed a lot of money from his last two fights ..... which is exactly the reason Barry left his manager and sued him![]()

Yeah , Barry would've paid! I fucking said word for word YEARS AGO this would happen. Barry was a fighter, he is not a businessman. He proved it before and he's proved it again. Eubank Sr. is no different.
Why do these dumbass boxers who can't manage their own finances think they can manage other people's for a living? Stick to what you know.
You don't see Eddie Hearn trying to be a Boxer do you?
Frampton is on about going up to super feather interesting not sure about that.
