They don't want him to expose their cash cows mayweather and pacman ! Simple and plain. Plus he didn't start boxing till he was 20!! Lol and if he would be the number 1 and 2 fighters who have been boxing their whole lives it would be crazy! He would be the only fight to give them problems and they know it!

What is HBO's problem with Martinez?

I keep hearing people complain about HBO and Merchant.
I don't have a problem with Merchants commentary because all he was asking is that Sergio fight like he is the #3 p4p and #1 MW fighter in the world (by seperating himself from Macklin and showing he is a class above him).
Macklin is underrated, however, until the 10th and 11th rounds, Martinez wasn't putting up the performance you expect for a top 3 fighter in the world.

It shows more and more how Merchant is against counterpunchers/defensive fighters...I though Mayweather fans were on crack but started noticing it more and more and tonight was one of thoise nights.

Larry Merchant's hate is just confusing as hell.
He said he's bias against defensive fighters who are "boring". Martinez is defensively flawed and has won by KO in his last 4 fights. So why does he hate on Martinez?
Merchant is just a hater, plain and simple. He hates fighters who are not Top Rank. He praises every single Top Rank fighter, and bashes all others.

Originally posted by Rocky=Ward View PostEvery single fight he is in, they keep saying he is "exposed". And during the fights, they always say how he isn't looking like a middleweight champ. Yet in every single fight, he knocks the guy out in the end and destroys fighters towards the end. Someone explain to me, wtf is HBO's problem with Martinez?
To make things worse, he is after another big name (and all smoke), Chavez Jr. They can't wait to see Martinez decline.

Agree with the last part.
