He doesn't need credibility from them, just to beat the holes off them. Storm in a teacup.

I'm in London at the minute, there's a full wraparound cover on the main London paper The Evening Standard promoting the fight. I was quite surprised as I didn't Frampton would be a name over here..

Double world champion wouldn't be popular in London?? Strange? He headlined New York and Vegas, be a big push by the brits to push for a Selby Frampton fight

Popular certainly amongst clued up boxing fans didn't think he'd be mainstream enough.. Wasn't a criticism of him I'm a huge fan but I was genuinely surprised, can't find an online pic of it to post a link

Would agree. There is little doubt the vast majority of Londoners wouldn't know or care about him. I take it the wraparound was paid for by McGuigan? Maybe paving the way for the Selby fight McGuigan says will be over there.

I suppose another way of looking at is that if he was mainstream enough they wouldn't have had to do the ad. I think also the fight is on Channel 5, maybe they paid some of the ad?

Follow the boxing a fair bit, on another discussion board specifically for boxing and the consensus coming from there that its a business move by Cyclone. "If you seriously believe he couldn't make the weight you are deluded. He was close enough to the weight that the fight went ahead and more than likely there was no stipulation in the contract regarding loss of money per lb over. This allows him to avoid fighting Russell as a mandatory for less money 30/70 purse in the states and fight Selby as a voluntary for the IBF in the UK for a 50/50 purse. If he wanted to he could have taken the option to make the weight and weigh in again."

Plot twist - event now cancelled altogether. The Mexican was in an accident?!
