Carl Frampton has parted company with Cyclone Promotions. Doesnt say if he has left Mcguigans gym aswell. Surprised to say the least as they seem to get on very well!

Yeah i didnt hear much about the bill up to the fight normally i hear a good bit and it just seemed a bit of something is going on in camp and they didnt want it to get out before the fight. They seem to be going on good terms. I just dont see him fighting in Belfast again for some reason. Rumours are flying about big time. Al Haymon links and the usual British other promoters in Hearn and Warren which 1 he would go with I just dont know. Last week rumours was he was to sign a 5 fight deal with Matchroom nothing happened yet. It makes sense and it would be the 1 option for him to go down where he would get a big Belfast show. Also makes sense to have Carl Frampton on the undercard of the Ryan Burnett world title fight in October in Belfast and move him towards a World title fight again. Now will Hearn and Frampton work together is a big question. Does Warren have money to pay Frampton?? Not too sure on that. So it leads me to thinking Frampton on the road in the US overall so it could well be a interesting few weeks for him.

Agreed. Best match up of 2017 and could be a classic

And we've not yet taken in the result. I'd like to see BJS get in with the winner and of course there is the Super Series winner to come.. (Callum Smith I think?)

Not long now. Interesting to see how Cleverely goes on Saturday.

It's sad that the McGregor fight has relegated GGG Vs Alvarez in the publicity stakes. The latter is a genuinely competitive, world class match up.

Go to Vegas on the 8th and fly home day before fight
Absolutely gutted
Still thinking of asking her if I can stay on an extra day

Jack beats him with ease.

Seeing Mcgregor at around 4/1 in most places. Has there ever been a worse value bet in sports history?

Even if the biggest shock ever somehow happens you've still won virtually fuck all. At least if he was at 100s or summat more reasonable you could maybe forgive people for putting a couple of quid on. 4/1!

Well that must make Mayweather at 2/7 the greatest odds on fav in history. Nearly a 30% return on your money.

It's terms of free money yeah, I think it's about as sure a thing as you could get.

It's like City going full strength against a league 2 side. If the league 2 side had never played a game of professional football previously.

I know there's always the punchers chance but in that case there's millions of people who could fight Floyd Mayweather and be 4/1. It's madness.

Love for McGregor to win but A.) I don't see that happening B.) imagine what t do for the sport of boxing.

I hear Bisping and Tony Bellew are talking about across over fight

I think he has a chance I honestly do. I am no boxing expert but 41 is a lot older than a very fit 29.

That's Bernard Hopkins, by the way (;
