Pic: Carl Frampton is being offered a hell of a lot of money to fight Scott Quigg

That's a lot of zeros

Scott Quigg hopes to speed up the negotiation process by offering Frampton fat stacks.

Scott Quigg has made the Northern Irish man a take it or leave it offer of £1.5m to fight him.

The WBA super bantamweight champion has offered the IBF champ a staggering amount of money to get the Northern Irish man to book the fight in Manchester for July 18th.

Quigg decided to make the bold move after growing frustrated with the tedious negotiations that have delayed the superfight being booked.

Both Frampton and Quigg have publicly stated their interest in having the fight this summer but have failed to sign an agreement because of various stumbling blocks.

Disagreements over broadcast rights seems to be the main issue between both camps. Frampton’s manager Barry McGuigan wants the fight to be screened free-to-air live on ITV, while Quigg’s promoter is pushing for the bout to be shown on Sky Box Office via pay-per-view.

We’ll have to wait and see whether either fighter will budge over their stance, so we can finally start getting excited over this fight between two undefeated warriors.
