the guy has fought no-one really and not so long since lost to burns. ok, he's ranked number 3. so what. time to build his career up. deluded.

HBO's 2nd offfer wasn't much more & they're not noted for shelling out the $$ unless it's a mega name which neither are, yet...

After his loss to Burns his best bet is to take a fight like this.

Sounds like a bad career move. Let's assume for a moment that Martinez really was offered little money (something I don't doubt). Rocky is missing the forest for the trees. If he really believes he can beat Gamboa, he should've taken the fight for that alone. A victory over "El Ciclon" would be huge for Martinez. Now Rocky's going to fight whom and for how much?

well if it helps any on the view that Martinez should take the money overall for March 3rd is holding things up period. Rios has his minimums set as does Gamboa which does it make hard to find opponents willing to take what's left
