Schaefer calls Poxon an Idiot, blames him for MURRAY -QUILLIN not happening in the UK

[Beanz]

I think Poxon is an Idiot, but is that what really happened ? Why would Murray's promoters turn down a chance to fight Quillin here in the UK?

[Fenster]

Blimey, Schaefer wasn't holding back there. Seems like they have history over Quigg. Two sides to a story though. I keep expecting to hear Murray has joined Matchroom.

[Rantcatrat]

There's always two sides to a coin.

Remember they offered Rosado a whole $50k to fight Quillin. A full $100k less than he was paid for a fight with Golovkin.

Murray was paid significantly more to face Martinez in Argentina.

Now if Murray was offered $400k etc., Shaeffer's claims make sense. In my opinion, Shaeffer is bitter because he's failing at his job to make a fight for Quillin. Quillin's been on the shelf for the better part of a year and there are no suitable opponents for him.

Maybe they should send Quillin to Australia to face Geale.

Hatton would have made the ultimate decision over whether this fight happened and Poxon is just a handy person for Schaefer to vent against because he doesn't want to fall out with Ricky. Hatton/Murray obviously don't fancy the fight for whatever reason. Probably the money on offer.

I think it's about time to chuck the towel in on hatton promotions, too much wasted talent in the uk that we don't get to see, I don't get why all the promtors use boxnation with warren and give matchroom something to think about

You sure about that? That's like saying Schaefer is a front man for the genuis of Oscar.

Murray is probably waiting to fight Barker.

Exactly or perhaps he can land a lucrative fight against Macklin or Lee for the right to face Barker.

[IamInuit]

Could there be some animosity from Rickys days of affiliation with Gbp? How about a possible middle tourney in Britain in the works?

[Fenster]

Murray is way down the line for a Barker fight. He is contracted to a promoter that has a deal with a different TV station. Be easy if he was with Matchroom though

Barker, Macklin, lee, Murray!

Excluding Barkertheyre all scared of each other, more ducks than a fucking pond.

I bet they're all chomping at the bit to fight Barker now though!

Schaefer knows how to run a business and make deals. Oscar knows about getting wasted while looking fabulous in classy lingerie.

I think CEO of Hatton Promotions is a bit of a grand title, like calling a window cleaner a vision technician. HP isn't exactly Golden Boy and Poxon used to be a matchmaker for that Sheffield guy who promoted Clinton Woods, he's not exactly a business mastermind. It's Ricky's money and Murray's career and I'm sure they made the decision not to take the fight and left Poxon to fob Schaefer off and take the grief when the fight didn't get made.

They're still supposed to have some kind of partnership which is why Schaefer is so pissed off. But Hatton Promotions is basically just a north west England promoter, they've never had a single world champion, they went nearly two years without a TV deal. Hatton has lost a lot of money so far in his career as a promoter and he's going to be super careful about every penny from now on.

He was the matchmaker for Dennis Hobson and is the "director of boxing" for Hatton. Maybe Schaefer was just giving the American press guys some idea of who the guy is. However, as Hatton employs him, Schaefer basically said Hatton doesn't know what the fuck he's doing regardless.
