If anyone has purchased this issue, the one with David Haye on the cover, read the Sergio Martinez article, it's a great read, it tell's about how much bad luck he had when he was young do to his movie star looks, how he had to quit school as a teen to get a job, and how with boxing he has finally gotten his chance and how all the experiences he had to overcome it has made him fearless of anyone in boxing. It really is a great article.
I was just watching Sergio Martinez vs. Paul Williams and Steward at one points questions Martinez's street creds, he might not know that Sergio had it tougher than Paul. I mean what Sergio had to go through is way tougher than anything Paul had to go through.
Yeah I had that perception of him until I read the article, I liked what he had to say at the end when he talks of how he was mugged daily and how they threatened him with guns and knifes and how people expect him to have fear of Williams, Pavlik and Cintron but with the experiences he has had in his life he really doesn't have to fear anything.
That was pretty bad ass, dude is a straight class act. Happy he's finally going to be making million dollar purses and can buy his mom and brothers houses now. I also thought it was interesting how he was saying that Argentina turned their back on him and they make it seem like he turned his back on them. He later said he didn't really care cause he has a lot of fans all over the world and if he stayed in Argentina he would have never became champion.
me too........it's $24.95 over here in Australia............shipping and taxes...........$24.95!!!!!!!:omfg::omfg:
Plus they're usually a month old too.
I don't need to pay $24.95 to read about the lead up to the Pac Clottey fight.
Just read that article today, it was a good read. I didn't know Martinez came from such poverty, I was under the impression dude was born with a silver spoon played soccer and decided to try boxing for fun.

The Ring really needs to figure out how to cut cost or how to create a package deal for a # of issues because boxing makes it hard as it is for its fans.
$7 for The Ring, $26-30 for HBO and Showtime, $20-100 for the internet, and from $0 to $120 in a month. Add that to the necessary cable (ESPN2, FSN en Espa~ol) and electric bill and :davil2:
I love boxing though, when it's at its best no other sport can touch it (do I really have to compare Escalante-Roman to every other sports' best?). Shit when it's regular, it's better than most other sports, a lot of people liked Cotto-Foreman.
i said that in a thread a few weeks back
at it's best their isn't a sport on the planet that can touch it for excitement and drama (Gatti vs Ward, Corrales v Castillo, Hagler v Hearns, Rumble in Jungle, Tyson etc etc) at it's worst it is the most frustrating sport to be a fan of.......think corruption, home cooking, inept judging etc etc.

Just got the Mag tonight, I'll be reading it tomorrow or the next day.
By the way u can get a 1 year subscription for 29.95 here, comes out to under 3 dollars per magazine. Only downside is the first one gets to you in about 3 months but for the price it's worth the wait.
