    MM has visa issues to go state side so that will play in to any offer.
    Neither Murray or Barker are exactly household names in the Uk at the moment.
    And neither is the champ for that matter...
    So 250k is looking like a really sweet deal.... as for the Visa problems, Chocolate going to the UK seems even sweeter. That's a winnable fight for him and Chocolate is gift wrapping himself.
    IMO, a win like that for chocolate would move him a little over Golovkin.
    Murray gave Martinez more trouble than Macklin and Choco would have went overseas to defend in somebodies home country

      This is one of those risk-vs-reward situations that drive fans crazy.

      They money is fine, but the question is does Hatton want to go ahead and cash Murray in? They know there's lots of opportunity down the road, and like Ricky said recently "If I'd fought Tszyu when I wanted to, two years earlier, I'd of lost."

      Hatton wants put Murray in some easier fights and hopefully navigate him to an easier title win.

        Risk is offset a little here due to Chocolate coming over there to his home country. Also 250k Might not be Martinez money, maybe even a little less than Golovkin..... but that's still pretty good money. Not a lot of people I see paying him more than that.

        What he could be doing now is just waiting to try and get a shot at Barker to trade shots....nothing wrong with challenging Chocolate in the meanwhile. I dont' know the whole Brit boxing situation down there, but somebody said Hatton teaming up with Warren and boxnation puts a hamper in a domestic Barker fight
