Wow, South African Promoter Rodney Berman of Golden Gloves seems to be a very spiteful man if this is true. Was on Murray's twitter earlier and saw this little exchange
Martin Murray @MartinMurrayBox 14 Jan
@GoldenGlovesSA don't know what you've been blagged with but I am injured & that's why I can't fight on your show. Your email was a joke
Rodney Berman @GoldenGlovesSA 14 Jan
@MartinMurrayBox I hope you recover soon.
Martin Murray @MartinMurrayBox 23h
@GoldenGlovesSA Js so my fans know who bought tkts & r still going to the show,& the boxing world..are you refusing me entry cz I'm injured?
Berman was pretty peeved he had to make 2 last minute substitutions for Makabu and Fletcher. He got a good draw with Bursak for Fletcher...but Makabu's opponent....is just....no.
Murray appears to to be barred from the show for the time being. I'm still interested in knowing what the injury is, but Berman is a very vengeful person....he's hurting the fans that would've went to see him fight.
This post pretty much closes the thread. Why anyone would to care spend a buck on him confuses me.
A warning to anybody traveling to any more of his fights.... don't be surprised if he pulls the same thing again.
IMO, I can't wait to see him lose and see him crawling to Golovkin for a fight, just like Geale is
Murray screwed his fans over, lol at them for being a fan of this guy. THat'll teach them to spend money on this duck

So after the Daily Mail lied about Murray fighting Golovkin Monaco, you find them reliable for all things related to the Monaco card some reason?
Daily mail hanging all over Murray's nuts. We'll see when Sturm announces his next fight. Hopefully it's not against that coward murray and he sits in limbo even longer
Technically, you're right. But in principle, it's a shitty thing to do. That's why the least they can do is let Murray in so the people who bought tickets could meet him.
Like I said, the promoter isn't punishing Murray . I doubt he gives a fuck about seeing Golovkin live. The promoter is just punishing the paying fans.

Sturm rumor was invited out of that recent artitle of Murray saying he'd like to fight Sturm after Sturm called him out in the post Barker interview. That in addition to the rumors of Barker retiring. They put two and two together and figured it's likely hoping they'll be lucky enough for it to be true. And the original source for Murray pulling out of the Monaco card for Sturm was the Daily Mail. The same source that lied about Murray fighting Golovkin in Monaco.
Macklin is screaming for that fight too.....where's his rumor? What does Murray have over Macklin anyway.
Murray has no leverage other than he'd be the easier of the two..... only way I see that again.
Out of the 4 options, Murray is the easiest and that's the only way he gets the fight....being the weakest of the 4... definitely showed in his last fight too
Those Sturm rumors didn't come out of nowhere

:lol1: :lol1: That's awesome.
Agreed. Cleverly would've been banned too if he tried to go, but he has to train for his next fight, lolol.
What a joke.
And then when he gets another fight made, his hand will be all better.
WHat'd he do, chip a nail?
If Murray is injured, he's injured. If there was a doctor's note, then we'll have to accept it. There's zero evidence that he's not injury and that he's fighting Sturm. Even Sturm specifically denied the rumor. If Golden Gloves wanted something more iron clad, they could put in a contract that they needed to use a neutral doctor of their choosing. That's on them.
Of course Sturm and his team would deny that.... are you kidding me?!
If there was even a slight sign of Murray doing that with Sturm, Berman would crush them for losing his even money and breaking his contract.
Are you saying it's cool if Murray beats some kind of doctor system?
What exactly is banning Murray accomplishing? Murray gives zero fucks about seeing Golovkin live. If anything, he would want to stay as far away as possible from him. The only possible thing it accomplishes is being a dick.
I live in California. It doesn't mean I could just walk up to the houses of the many boxers who live here, and knock on their doors to meet them.
Obviously, they didn't buy tickets just to meet him though, but it would be a nice consolation if they could just meet the guy if he's not fighting.

Murray already punished his fans by pulling out of the fight with his "injury".

The guy admittedly doesn't watch boxing at all that often. If anything, he would want to stay as far away as possible from him. The only possible thing it accomplishes is being a dick.
Thousands of dollars to watch him fight.....
If they wanted to meet him, they could've spent way less money doing it in England instead of flying out to another country, buying a fight ticket and a hotel.

He could do that, Berman probably just pissed
Dude, you posted the link.

Well I don't know how I missed that since I've read it multiple times. Good catch, even though it was right in the beginning.
I'm pretty sure all tickets have that little thing written in there that bout is subject to change. I forgot what fight this happened with, but it happened with a main event where the main event opponent changed after ticket sales.... I think it was Rios/Gamboa to Rios/Abril

I guess Berman isn't convinced. Probably had the doctor's note, but he most likely isn't convinced since Cleverly must've had a doctor's note and now he's supposedly fighting again soon
http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/10932536.St_David_s_Day_fight_not_confirmed__says_Nathan_Cleverly/
BOOM
And that's why he doesn't trust them.
Clevelry must've had a doctor's note too and now he's setting up a fight for a month later?
WTF?!?
He injured his hand.
It's not as if Murray is somehow missing out not being able to attend the show. He's not punishing Murray. He's punishing the people who paid good money.

You really think the people going there are doing it to watch murray watch the fight?

I don't get it.
Murray wants to go so the fans can at least see him in the stands? But he's not allowed?

hold on, Murray got fans waiting to see him? lmao
How about the rights of the people who bought tickets to see Murray? They bought tickets with the promise to see Murray and Golden Gloves didn't deliver. The promoter is ultimately responsible. Unless refunds were offered, Golden Gloves is being the dick. The least they can do is let Murray in.

What's the injury? I haven't seen anything, have you?

Has every right to be. They're in his show, pull out less than a month before it goes down and they make him find replacements.
Makabu opponent is utter trash

Proof of injury is always required on contracts in order to pull out without getting sued. A doctor's note is required at least. And there's no real evidence that Murray is fighting Sturm next so this is kind of ****ed up.
