    Martin Murray has two offers in front of him. Must make a decision.

    Rematch Sturm in Germany or fight Golovkin in Monte Carlo for a career high payday? :think

    He still has visa issues i.e. can't enter the US, hence the Monte Carlo venue for a Golovkin fight.

    What would you do if you worked at Hatton Promotions as Murray's manager?

    Rematch Strum, is much more winnable fight. If he wins that, unification vs GGG would make even more money.

    Since when does Schaefer holds a license to promote fights in the UK?

    "Decline a fight with Quillin in the US" - ok, that's possible.

    Hatton can't "decline a fight in the UK", he'd be the one making the damn offer to Schaefer! :lol:

    You mean do we send our guy to die in the ring or do we put him in a position to succeed?

    Definitely Sturm rematch I think he can win then Golovkin would be a big fight

    Golovkin vs Murray is interesting because Murray is one tough mofo, if Golovkin stops him hes a beast but I dont think he does

    Murray possesses solid whiskers. :yep

    Could easily get robbed in Germany.

    Which kind of loss does the least possible damage to your reputation, a robbery in Germany or a UD (maybe TKO) loss to "avoided" GGG?








    ...yeah, I think he'll rematch Sturm.

    Browser at work doesn't have the required plug-in, I'm doing stats on one screen and ESB is up on the other...

    Yeah, he'd be stupid to fight the one they call Golovkin if a similar offer from Sturm is on the table. Golovkin beats Murray to a sorry pulp, whereas Sturm outpoints him at best. How about Sturm grows a pair and fights Golovkin? :think

    Fight in the UK. He can make some nice money there. Not career best, but good money. Why give him to Golovkin now? Golovkin's not going anywhere, and at the rate GGG's fighting, Murray will get a chance to step in the ring with him in a year or two.

    Wow that is a shame if Murrays team turned down Quillin in UK. I would have given Kid Undercard some props for taking that fight. Would be a legit fight.

    Sturm is all wrong for Murray as already shown. Likely GGG is too although until they fight Murray can always claim he "would" have GGG number. Few would believe him though.
    I would certainly give Murray a good chance against Quillin though.
