Eddie Hearn has insisted his £1.5million purse offer to Carl Frampton comes with no strings attached, but efforts to make a super-fight with Scott Quigg remain deadlocked. Hearn unveiled a cheque with his offer to Sky TV cameras in a bid to force a deal with the IBF super-bantamweight champion, as the Matchroom promoter upped the ante in a bid to book a July 18 date at Manchester Arena. However, Frampton’s promoters, Cyclone Promotions, headed by former world champ Barry McGuigan, released a press release in response to the offer, claiming they were awaiting formal communication from Hearn’s Matchroom Sports before renewing negotiations over the much-hyped bout. Eddie Hearn presents the cheque for £1.5m to set-up Scott Quigg's fight with Carl Frampton . Matchroom Sport boss Hearn said the cheque offered 1.5m reasons for the two boxers to fight . Quigg stares down the camera to tell Frampton to 'put his money where his mouth is' TV rights were believed to be a major stumbling block in negotiations as Matchroom are tied to Sky Sports, while Frampton’s recent title defence against Chris Avalos attracted millions of viewers between ITV in the UK and UTV Ireland. Now Hearn has seemingly attempted to force the fight with a big-money offer in the hope that the bout can be screened on Sky Box Office. While past negotiations were believed to have collapsed due to a failure to agree a deal on future promotional ‘options’ on fights, the Matchroom promoter also insisted he has not demanded rights to promote Frampton’s future fights. ‘Nothing at all — no options, no rematch clause, absolutely nothing,’ Hearn told Sportsmail when questioned on whether such terms were included in his £1.5m offer. ‘He can have this fight, he can go back to whatever broadcaster he wants [after it]. He can go and move to the moon if he wants, it’s nothing to do with us.’ Quigg is the defending WBA super-bantamweight champion and wants to fight Frampton in Manchester . Quigg celebrates his win over Hidenori Othake at the Liverpool Echo Arena in November last year . McGuigan declined to comment further on the saga when contacted by Sportsmail, refusing to elaborate on Cyclone Promotions’ statement which said they ‘have made several attempts to organise a follow-up meeting with Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport to progress these negotiations’. The Cyclone statement added: ‘If Matchroom Sport are interested in joining Cyclone Promotions in staging this domestic superfight, we recommend Matchroom accept the invitation for a follow-up meeting.’ Hearn countered the Cyclone statement, telling Sportsmail: ‘We just want to get it done, it’s so frustrating… I know their statement said we turned down another meeting but that’s because it was getting nowhere. We’re trying to make things happen. ‘The only thing that Cyclone Promotions want is they want to co-promote the show. We’re bringing all the money, we’re putting all the money up,’ said the Matchroom promoter. ‘If there was another broadcaster that they were willing to work with, who could throw a load of money at this fight, then make us an offer. They can’t. We’re in such a strong position, but we’re still being fair. Scott Quigg is the one taking all the risk here. If it doesn’t do that great at the box office, Scott might get only £400-500,000 and Carl still gets his £1.5m, there is no risk. 'This is the offer that I believe has to make Carl Frampton say yes. I’ve already responded [to Cyclone] to say “if you want to co-promote, co-promote it”,’ added Hearn. Frampton lands a punch on American opponent Chris Avalos during their fight last month . Frampton celebrates after his win over Spain's Kiko Martinez in September last year .
