    Oh, well it was in the first post.
    Hatton confirms there was an offer and Murray still says he hasn't received an offer yet.
    That means there was an offer, Hatton just didn't give it to Murray
    Or the offer was for a fight in America and Murray can't fight in America yet.

      All Murray said is he hasn't gotten an offer, Hatton said he got one.
      Hatton is withholding information if Murray has said this twice

        Would Hatton be ****** enough to speak openly about receiving an offer without having first told his boxer? Possibly but I doubt it.

        Murray's not a ducker imo, he'd take the fight if everything was ironed out and made sense.

        Would like for there to be more in it. But it's far more likely it's money/promoter/country/visa related over anything else.
        K2 offered Murray more money than he made fighting Martinez.

        In an earlier article on BoxingScene.com - Sampson Lewkowicz, the adviser to WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, stated that IBO/WBA champ Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24KOs) needs to face a dangerous opponent like Curtis Stevens (25-3, 18KOs). Golovkin is scheduled to return on an HBO televised date of November 2, and Stevens has been mentioned as a possible candidate. Since moving down to the middleweight division, Stevens has displayed deadly power. He crushed Saul Roman in the first round on Saturday night, and he immediately called for a fight with Golovkin. Martinez is still recovering from his win over Martin Murray in April. He suffered several injuries during the fight and won't return to action until the first quarter of 2014.



        "We offered Martin Murray more money than he got paid for Martinez and he turned it down. Before the argument was that Golovkin wasn't marketable and he brought no money, but now we're overpaying opponents and [they still keep turning him down].

          Easy to offer big money to a guy who can't fight in the US.

            Then Murray would have no problem saying he accepted the offer but may have problems with his Visa so everything isn't 100% certain.

            Instead he says he's never received an offer, meanwhile his promoter who is the person who received all of the official calls and such says he DID recieve an offer.

            Sounds to me like Murray is not telling the truth or Hatton is protecting Murray from GGG. You think Murray hasn't seen the article with his own promoter saying he received an offer? He isn't ******, he is being protected and playing dumb or not questioning his promoter.

            Think more critically, please.
