Originally posted by deanrw View PostYes but Sergio also rode on the popularity of a bigger star. He needed that right? He still needs it and that is why he is chasing after bigger names to get decent paydays. He was in the same position that GGG is in now. If nobody will fight him, how will he ever get a chance to climb the ladder? GGG at least has some HBO exposure now and impressed many. He needs to continue to get big fights. How is he supposed to do it if people will not fight him?
Sergio didn't get his big payday until a few weeks ago, to get there he had to beat Williams, Pavlik, Dzinziruk, Macklin....he jumped around divisions and beat those names, who were all highly ranked in their division and Williams a P4P star.
GGG has beat Proska. How about stepping up levels like Sergio did to get the big money? Angulo, Kirkland, Martirosyan, Lara....how about beating some guys first, the way Sergio did?

Originally posted by Cigarillo View PostBut who is Chavez Jr to Cotto or Floyd? Just because he was the B-side to a 500k PPV doesnt mean hes some big star now. He cant headline a PPV.
Miguel is a huge star, but Martinez just done 500k...not too bad, is it? Against a bigger star the numbers will be even bigger. Time will tell if he can headline a PPV, I'd buy a PPV fight with Sergio in it and I believe many others would too.

GG has a bad resume, and no mandate at SM at all. Not that different than Dz and Barker, except unlike them he's top 10 at mw. But his chance of fighting those LMW you listed is probably worse than SM landing a big money fight. Heck, he can barely find a MW to challenge for his belt on HBO main event.

Originally posted by HeroBando View PostMan, you keep repeating that 500k. Is Clottey a bigger star for doing 700k? But not as big a star as JMM, for doing 1.3m or whatever?
Sergio did that without Pacquiao and Mayweather, what have JMM and Clottey done without those two? A guy that does 500k without either of the two cash-cows (three if you include Cotto) is going to be part of an event that does major numbers if he fights one of them.
I just can't understand why people would try and play down a proper mega-fight.
