Dibella is one of the top 3 best US-based promoters. Look at the exposure he's helped give Sergio Martinez, and the fights he gets him. Barker on HBO?

What about the vacant WBC title shot he got Berto against an unknown fighter? How about losing his WBC title to Ortiz, and then in his very next fight got a shot at the IBF title and won it?

You could say this is all Al Haymon's doing, but Dibella's name and influence also helps him as well.

Get 'em Lou!

Agreed, debella doesn't put on as many shows as GBP but still gets his fighters good fights on the HBO and Sho. Something is fishy with Al Haymon and GBP, I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out the Feds are looking into them.

before the chavez fight, martinez couldn't draw flies...

and dibella is a prime example of why people say the boxing industry so fickled... last year he was calling out bob arum every name in the book.. saying he's destroying boxing..... than in a press conference for chavez-martinez, he states he looks up to bob arum and learned from him ( lol wtf) and that golden boy dont know how to build fighter

I was waiting for this to come out since the other day. The way Schaefer was talking the other day he was acting like he was Berto's promoter. We may see Dibella opt to get Berto to fight Bradley now strictly out of spite.

Please explain. What's fishy about an advisor advising his fighters towards one particular promoter?

That is like an agent getting all his athletes to sign with Nike over adidas.
