-He has the looks
-Has the style
-He is friendly
The only thing I see is that he is not Mexican, American, or Puerto Rican
And for this reason no TV show or Bic company picks him up....
ITS A DAMN SHAME!!!
What you guys think?
What "Maravilla" needs to become a "draw", is actual boxing skill. If he aquires that(doubtful), he then needs to grow a pair and stop ducking the Undisputed Middleweight champ JCCJR! He will never become a draw because he will never stop ducking.
ducking? at least tell me you get paid for saying BS. Martinez has more skills than JCC Jr. who has no skills and is a draw. Maidana has no skills and is a draw. TopRank is spending their money in trolls?

he'd kill jccjr and arum won't let that happen....definitely can't become a diamond champion without skill. Unlike jccjr's belt where you can just get given it... What.

it might be too late...he is 36, he really don't have time to build himself up by cleaning out his division, if he was to fight Felix Sturm, Daniel Geale, Dmitry Pirog, Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam, by the time he is finish with all them he would be...what 38?
His Management Team and Promoter has FAILED HIM BIG TIME IMO, they are basically depending on Top Rank to GIVE HIM A BIG PAY DAY so by doing that he has absolutely NO LEVERAGE
For another good Payday he may have to hope that Paul Williams beat Erislandy Lara and they fight for a 3rd Time...I really don't see any other option...not unless he moves up
winning big fights earned him the respect of the boxing fans beating big name fighters regardless if they are good anymore will earn him the respect of casual fans.
he should try to fight DLH right now for free
Stars are built up from a young age and most have a strong backing from their ethnic group
Sergio is 36, has no real support from his people and is also with a weak promoter
It´s not about speaking english. I´m from Argentina and believe me, from Colombia to Chile, everybody loves Maravilla. For example, southamerica hates Maidana (not me), because he lacks of skills. Chino allways has those PPV oportunities cause he is with Golden Boy and Sergio with DiBella. That´s all, don´t look for any other reason. Now even Mathysse is getting more chances than Martinez.
note that steroidgio martinez's rabid sergiosexual fanbase always goes w/ the ad hominem, personal attacks.
when all true boxing fans want 2 do is clean up the sport. that's all we're asking. so far in this thread sergiosexuals have attacked ppl DOWN SYNDROME, the handi-capped, "the retarded", and made endless other vulgar comments.
y? all so they can justify their steriodgio martinez rampant PED use. tell me what about PED use s a good thing. even 4 steroidgio's sake u should support stricter drug testing instead personally attacking those that r trying 2 clean up the sport.
:bravo:
Magnificent post.
He needs some big name brawls with a Cotto or Chavez Jr or PWill III, even Margarito ffs. Failing that going up to 168lb and get a fight.
At his age, the clock is ticking and he needs to get a good run of wins sorted sooner rather than later, or it'll never happen
Well what do Cotto, Chavez, and Margarito have in common? Top Rank. DiBella may never get this good a fighter ever again, he shouldve gone into the red to promote him, and may have if he wasnt already 36. Sergio is the man though, I really hope he gets those fights because he's done his end. He's fought and fought hard opponents.
^^you are such a tool^^
Yeah he's stuck on Sergio's cock, thats why he's so upset. I'd imagine it must really hurt after a while. He's obviously stuck on his cock though since he follows EVERY thread on Sergio to post the exact same thing. He'd hate Sergio less if he went out and got a job or life and didnt have to spend so much time thinking about him
when is his contract up with DiBella? because he probably has to sign with Top Rank to get the fights he want, unfortunately his competition and the opportunity for BIG MONEY FIGHTS is all with THEM
DiBella has NO POWER and he hasn't build up any other fighter at 154-160 to match up with Martinez so he basically NEEDS Top Rank or GBP to GIVE his Top Fighter a Opportunity
A promoter who spends money on marketing and hires a pr team would be a good start.
Perfect example: who the **** was margarito? Before he called out Floyd amd made a public offer of 8 million no one talked about him. That's good pr and marketing by top rank.
They knew they had a product they could sell, and out money behind it.
Dibella doesn't promote, he's a glorified manager to be honest. His biggest events in recent years are lucky to break 1000 tickets.
He, just like Paul Williams and other fighters, have nothing more than a cult following..
Face it, he really isnt a household name. Sure, he beat P-Will. But the only people who know P-Will are his true fans and all of haters on this board. That win did WONDERS for boosting Martinez to the hardcore fan. But the average fan has no idea who Martinez, Williams, Berto, Ortiz ect. are. The casual fans know who Mayweather is. They know B-Hop. They know Roy Jones Jr.
Its not their fault.
It takes more than looks, style ect. to become a name. It really takes luck.
Look at it like this:
Martinez was an unknown fighter who really burst on the scene when he (bogusly) lost to Cintron. Then the epic P-Will-Martinez fight came and he got hyped. He beat Williams and Pavlik and gained more hype. He still cant gets scraps.
Williams was a Showtime fighter, went to HBO, was marketed as the most feared boxer in the game, punched the ever loving **** out of opponents, beat Margarito, Martinez, Wright, got dicked out of a Pavlik fight 4x and he is in the same boat as Martinez, high risk, little reward, no real,deep Pacman/Mayweather fan base.
Baffling..
I guess the only way to see more of our favorite fighters is to boycott HBO when they allow BS fights (Alvares-Hatton for example) to happen. There is no ****ing reason other than $$$ that Alvarez-Hatton should have been on HBO. Williams-Ishida was a similar type fight but HBO turned that down?
GTFOH..
Sergio looks like he'd be more likely to do a dance performance than a DLH type spanish singing performance. Martinez should say he looked up his family tree and discovered he's a quarter Mexican or Puerto Rican./QUOTE]
LOL,
Seriously though, his promoter is failing here hard. Martinez should be cast to represent all Latinos.
Put his fights on as Latin events. Market them to latinos of all nationalities. I mean here is a boxer that is a good role model for the latin community. Bank on it. Another poster once mentioned this: Call his fights Latin Pride, Get him on Latin TV.
The guy is from Argentina, lived in Spain and is living in cali. Plaster flags all over his trunks/robe.
Rematch Kermit Cintron (He's still with Dibella, no?)
sing on the Jimmy Kimmel show
1mil ppv buys from that point on

to start with, "maravagina" could stop fighting goat farmers, eurobums, and japanese fishermen.
then steroidgio martinez could stop riding bicycles and taking PEDs w/ his hero lance armstrong and fight JCC Jr.
take the test steroidgio TAKE THE TEST!!!
Whats wrong with you Maravilla takes good opponents not like fighters today.... Waht are your fav fighters??:spank::spank:
