    Kevin sounds a stubborn ****er to me, hence his retirement talk. Him settling for less money would seem like a defeat to him, and he didn't sound too upset on his Facebook. My guess is that Frank couldn't find an opponent that can a) test his new asset and b) make him a lot of money with ticket sales. Mitchell ticks both boxes, so he raised the offer.

    That's what I looks like to me anyway. Couldn't really care less either way to be honest, so long as the fight happens.
     
  6. And by banging on about it you will make a complete mug of yourself.

    kevin NEVER said he was considering retirement the quote was from warrens camp saying if he didn't agree to the fight he would be forced to retire as he has 3 fights left on his deal with Warren

    Maybe having more time to prepare was enough for Kev to accept the deal. Good for him if he got more money but at the same time I find it heard to believe he initially agreed to the fight in the 1st place without knowing the pay.

    Like Vano, I don't really give a hoot as long as they get it on.

    Murray will send mitchell into retirement, in a good close fight murray will break him down and stop him with body shots

    I stand corrected. I thought I read somewhere that he said he'd retire if he didn't get the deal he wants as he wasn't being valued by his promoter. Must have made that bit up :lol:

    Sweet.

    Kevin Mitchell wrote a pretty scathing piece about Mitchell in the Guardian today

    'Warren's most recent signing, John Murray, is a favourite of mine, an old-style, all-round boxer who has mastered the fundamentals. He will not easily be beaten. We will see in the year or so ahead if he can add some sophistication to his one-paced skills.

    Warren would love Murray to fight his former favourite, Kevin Mitchell, and has offered him money the East End wild boy considers an insult. Understandably for a working class fighter with no other obvious earning possibilities, the size of the cheque matters a lot to Mitchell.

    As it does to Warren, who tells me: "We're still trying to put it together, but at the moment the money he is asking for is totally unrealistic. I read the stuff in Boxing News about the 22,000 people [he drew to Upton Park last year for his fight against Michael Katsidis]. He didn't draw 22,000 people. The bottom line is he forgets he got absolutely destroyed in three rounds. He's not living in the real world. The real world is what it is.

    "And the guy who's in front of him is Murray. Mitchell wants to come back and it's a great route back for him, but I'm not in the pension business - especially when he said after that fight how he hadn't trained properly. He let himself down and let everybody down. So he's not in a position to start making unrealistic demands."

    Mitchell is gambling heavily on beating Murray, for which he deserves credit. If he wins, will he have earned the right to haggle for a big purse again. If he loses, he will soon learn what his market value is.'
