    Do you have a video of Fury's interview on the late late show? Cheers.

    Hopefully one of these fights actually happen for a change. Would like to see Macklin vs Barker most though been waiting for that to happen for about 3 years now :lol:

    Sounds like Murray dosent want the fight, I hate when fighters use bull**** excuses to avoid fighters but he is part of Rickys team and we all know Ricky used the biggest bull**** excuse to avoid Witter so he is probably in Murrays ear knowing full well that Macklin would take him apart.

    Don't quite understand his logic, saying Macklin avoided the fight and doesn't think he's at his level, so now Macklin does want the fight Murray's going to avoid it :huh

    Murray is a warmup for Macklin IMO

    You'd swear Murray is this super star world champion. A far more accomplished and higher ranked contender has called him out and it's a fight Murray wanted for years yet Macklin isn't worthy of fighting him. :huh

    Obviously if a shot for a title came up he should take that but after that, Macklin is a good a fight available for him.

    **** it though, hope he refuses it and the Barker fight is made. Barker is a step ahead of Murray.

    I think we see Barker vs Macklin in September to kick of the new season on Sky.

    Murray has been after this fight for years and now macklin has had 2 loses and has nowhere else to go he's agreed to it (if macklin beats either barker or murray hes right back in contention for another title shot). I'm not surprised he's pissed off with him, hes not at his beck and call.

    It wasn't last month murray almost had another title shot. Why would he risk fighting macklin now, when hes close to getting another title shot or why would he give him the opportunity he can always face barker and freeze macklin out. Its all about business and getting the biggest pay days.

    We could do,but i expect Barker will have an easier fight in September after his injury problems then look to bigger things after that.

    I think it's more likely to be on the under card of Mayweather v Pacquiao!

    Sorry to be quite so sarcastic. It would be a great domestic fight, but I fear just another of the great domestic fights we should've seen that never happened.

    For every DeGale-Groves and Brook-Hatton....

    ....we get a Fury-Price and Barker-Macklin.


    Seriously! Why are fighters so scared to lose to a domestic rival!?

    Murray needs to stop grouching and accept that the fight is a good opportunity.

    "Hold on a minute. Let’s make the fight now because he wants to?!’ I’ve been after that fight for years! Now, all of a sudden, because he needs me he wants to make the fight."

    Duh. Thats how boxing works. The stars aligning and all that. ****ing prima donna.:lol:
