Trouble at Hatton Promotions??

Martin Murray has just retweeted the following,"@_BoxingFanatic: Couple of questions. Why is Hatton putting Towers vs Browne on a MR card & not Frank Warren? and what's happening with @MartinMurrayBox"
Couple of points:-
1) I thought Ricky had signed a contract with Frank to showcase his fighters. Either it's not an exclusive contract or there's trouble a't mill.
2) Murray seems restless at his inactivitity and just the fact that he retweeted this shows that he is slightly miffed at his situation.

Could Hatton be about to lose his premier fighter or is Murray just giving a gentle reminder to his promoter to pull his finger out and get him more regular fights?

To be fair to Ricky, whilst he may not have kept Murray busy, he certainly has delivered the big fights in world title shots against Sturm and Martinez.

I would say he's trying to set up a fight between Murray and Barker, what better way to sweeten the deal by putting a couple of your fighters on a matchroom card. For Hattons sake I think it's the way for him to go, gets his fighters more exposure and probably more money.

Guy is never a promoter in a million years is he ??

Seen more savvy in a Pink Panther movie....

Just go and live off your earnings Ricky or open a bar somewhere....

Leave it to the professionals......

I don't even know what retweet or tweet means @blah blah blah.

What is this thread and what does it mean or am I missing the point/joke?

Hatton has been in trouble the minute sky shafted him

Unfortunately anyone who goes to Warren for help is going to be in trouble

Hatton has delivered for Murray recently, but his resource well seems very dry now

Check out the head on Ricky in this video.

He looks rough as. I've seen 50 year old winos looking better.

Is he wearing a Keith Richards fancy dress outfit?

bloody hell he looks rough.
i dont think the box nation deal was exclusive so him working with other promoters - much like coldwell does - is a good move.

How many world title fights does Murray think Hatton can pull out of his rear end at the drop of a hat?

"Yeah Martin, you've lost you're last two world title fights so getting you another shot should be a doddle"

Getting title fights is one thing but just keeping his man active should not be beyond a promoter. Murray might have lost his last one (not two) but both were close so he's still on the fringes.

However, Hatton's got to keep him on the fringes and ticking over with good quality opposition, but these guys have been waiting for their shot at the title and aren't likely to want to give it up by fighting and possibly losing to Murray.

there are always fights out there. You and me might not always know about them but as a promotoer its up to him to find a solid work-out for his man. Murray's performances against Sturm and Martinez buy him some time in that regard. Nothing in the diary though so he'll be lucky to fight before Christmas.

bloody hell ricky what have you done to yourself
