Ricky Burns snubs Martinez bid to stage title bout in Puerto Rico

So he beats no one of note and still turns down a world title fight?

 

He's no.1 with the WBO.

 

Frank Warren is a genius! Pure and simple lol.

 

ricky stopped an african who's only defeat was against ali funaki and the guy also had a lot of ko's to his name, so thats a very good formline imo,alex morrison is ricky's manager thats why people would contact him regarding burns.

 

OMG why?

 

Billy. I am not doubting that Ricky is a talent. And i think he has a real shot to beat Martinez, who I think is big time under rated. also one of the main reasons for that is moving to your gym. But you cannot say he deserves a world title fight when he has not faced anyone beyond domestic level.

the Yakubu Amidu win is his best but if you look Amidus record he doesnt have a decent win. I do however accept that ricky is better that many british world title challangers in recent years.

The critics of Ricky Burns and your other fighters may be unfair but you need to realise even Muhamed Ali gets slagged of on internet forums.

 

I think that Ricky would take the fight in Puerto Rico if he got a better offer. facts is it goes to purse bids warren will almost deffinatley win and ricky would make more than 50k without traveling.

its not burns turning down a world title fight, its burns negotiating a better deal.

 

Yakubu Amidu was an imported afro bum and little more.

 

burns at number 1 exposes boxing. warren is doing what he always does.

 

Fighters like Burns - decent Euro level operators (IMO) shouldn't turn down title opportunities.

 

i dont know if burns would make £50 thousand in a purse on this ...maybe if he was defending he could but i dont know ,

 

He turned down there offer of where its staged, not the fight itself.

 

Pretty sure he would rather have the fight here than Peurto Rico even if he was to lose a few k.

 

What I mean is it's his choice he's mandatory more or less .
