Carl Frampton has Scott Quigg in his sights

Carl Frampton revealed he will earn in excess of the £1.5 million (€2.1m) promoter Eddie Hearn had previously offered him to fight Scott Quigg when the pair fight in Manchester next year.

The February 27 world super- bantamweight title unification clash of Frampton and Quigg is still 101 days away, but the Sky Box Office hype train is already picking up speed.

A three-date press tour yesterday culminated in Belfast after dates in London and Manchester, the latter hosting the bout at the Manchester Arena (formerly the MEN) next spring, and the inevitable pre-fight trash talk is well underway after reaching new levels of vitriol between both fighters and their teams yesterday.
