Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Stevens Winner Has To Face Martin Murray

[MDPopescu]

Lol @ newfound Murray hype. He couldn't clearly beat Sturm or the chubby Martinez. He's solid, like Macklin, Barker, Geale, Sturm, but he's no better.

... Yes.

... Martinez was one handed and one footed. Martinez was a ruin...

Well, I think you have stopped reading just here:
"Well, I think that Murray should have, at least, called GGG to cross the Pond.
But did he?"

Am I wrong?

Golovkin has a date at Madison Square Garden dictated by HBO who weren't going to come to England.

The overall issues regarding a Golovkin - Murray fight did not change...
Murray will not be granted a U.S. visa... But I still don't see a Murray past or present calling for GGG to come and fight in the U.K.
(Or maybe I don't read too much...)

You obviously don't.

I don't particularly think that it's a fight that Murray is pursuing as such, but I'm pretty sure he would take it if it was offered with a good payday attached.

Although it was suggested that GGG could come to the UK, it was pretty obvious that HBO would prefer Gena to fight center stage in the US.

I think Murray will get his visa sorted out, specially if HBO are pushing for it, it's just a matter of time - his so called 'criminal past' is really pretty insignificant an' he's now a family man and qualified youth worker.

At least that's what I'm hoping, cos I make this one of the bigger fights out there at MW.

Just like Karo Murat? If it was that easy, I think that Murray would have been granted a U.S. visa back in 2012 -- when he was to fight Chavez Jr.

HBO wants Gennady Golovkin vs. Martin Murray in the U.S, not in the UK

By Scott Gilfoid: It looks like the chances of WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24 KO’s) fighting Britain’s Martin Murray (25-1-1, 11 KO’s) are about zero for November, as HBO wants the Golovkin vs. Murray fight to take place in the United States rather than in the UK, according to Steve Kim.

Steve Kim said on his twitter “I’ve asked reps of GGG, if they would face Murray in the UK. I’m told that HBO prefers he fight in the States in prime time.”

Hatton and Murray have gone to Germany to fight Sturm and gone to Argentina to fight Martinez so lets end this "avoiding" talk. They may very well get a better offer to fight Barker.

Can you defend how Hatton said he received an offer but suddenly Murray knows nothing about it, from his OWN promoter?

Murray played dumb or Hatton lied, one or the other.

I don't think you understand what prefers even means.

Murray did absolutely nothing to show how he "fights anyone", he did not try and explain himself or the situation he was in, he threw it all on "I need a visa derp", meanwhile spouting how he hadn't received an offer (lies).

If he was so interested he would be posting on twitter saying if you want to fight me come to the UK, it's CLEAR they don't want the fight as they weren't even attempting to try and bring it to England or even promote it. Let alone Hatton practically saying Golovkin would beat Murray at this moment in time.

I'll wait for the Murray defense league to come in and try and justify all of the above though.

Why does Murray have to do anything? Golovkin's people are the ones pushing for the fight so its up to them to convince HBO to go to England and make Murray an offer to fight in England.

It's quite clear that HBO had a date in New York and they weren't about to up sticks to go to England just to fight Murray. Stop using word play and read between the lines dummy. Golovkin is HBO's newest star, they want him on prime time television.

You Golovkin and Mattyhsse fantards are annoying as ***. You're so proud and quick to say everyone is afraid of your fighter. It's like you almost care more about that than actual wins.
