Barry McGuigan says he does not hold much hope of a long-awaited fight between Scott Quigg and Carl Frampton because of his doubts over whether Matchroom will commit to it.
Promoter Eddie Hearn told Sky Sports on Thursday that "60 per cent of the hurdles" had been cleared in an attempt to make it happen.
He also said there was a desire from both camps to arrange the world unification bout after a previous failure to agree terms.
On Tuesday, Hearn met with McGuigan's sons Jake and Blaine, who handle IBF super-bantamweight champion Frampton, and he was encouraged by their discussions.
While McGuigan admits the fight is a possibility, he has suggested the 28-year-old has other options to consider too.
If an agreement can be struck, it is expected WBA champion Quigg and Frampton would meet early next year.
McGuigan told Second Captains Live: "They've been speaking to Eddie Hearn, amongst others, and Al Haymon about Carl's next fight.
"There's a possibility of the Quigg fight. Maybe it will happen, this is the third time that we have sat down with them.
"Maybe it will happen this time."
