He is from a loyalist heartland, marrying a catholic. Boxing has historically been a sport more popular in nationalist areas and he has not been an overnight success. Like McGuigan, Best, Taylor, Higgins, McIlroy etc he is a sportsman who all in NI can get behind with no one able to claim him for one side or the other.
When he fights they cheer him on the Shankill and the Falls... what could be better than that?
And in case you don't know the amateur dramatics that come with weigh ins are all part of the act. They all do it.

I really dislike his attitude, hate the arrogant cocky types.0

I'm not convinced he brings both communities in NI together, this seems to be a marketing ploy issued out by his team. He comes across as lacking in discipline and professionalism, his squaring up to his opponent and vice versa prior to the match may have made for great publicity but it gives off a poor image.
You and BigAl should get together chum, seriously, wee night in and solve world hunger over a split merlot and lemonade ...0 -
my daughter was in hospital having a baby just a couple of rooms away from his wife who was obviously having her baby. he was an absolute gentleman chatting to anyone who stopped him, very modest.lovely man.0

His fights have been broadcast worldwide and to describe a boxing world champion as relatively unknown is naive to say the least.I do congratulate Frampton for what he's achieved but considering most of his fights are in Belfast and outside of NI he is a relative unknown, I think his achievements are limited.0 -

Jesus, careful someone doesn't misconstrue this latest attempt to scratch our eyes out as an attempt at mindless violence! Nobody said you were backward, so calm down luv before someone hits you with a spelling app...0 -
