Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez: I Want Mayweather, I'll Take The Tests

[JayPro81]

This is exactly why Sergio Martinez is one of my favorite boxers right now. He's willing to fight whoever, whenever. And he speaks honestly and to the point.

Too much risk and not enough reward for this fight to happen for floyd. Martinez is still a relative unknown to most people. Floyd would probably earn more for fighting Paul Williams than Martinez.

This would have been a stiff test for PBF I think, given Sergio's style. As much as I want to see this fight I can't see it happening. If it does happen, I'd be surprised if the PPV exceeded 750K.

Man stop trolling. That was HOW long ago? I made like 30 different lists since then. All you want to do is flame and be childish rather than talk about the topic. Grow up. Talk to someone else Im done responding to you.

You seriously reported me for that post?

No one on this planet has ever had Pauli Malignaggi in their top 10 p4p besides you.



Props to Martinez for fighting the best and continuing to want to do so. It's too bad that he's 35 and we won't get to see much more of him at his best, that he was ducked by people like Forrest and Oscar and should've gotten his recognition much sooner.

Martinez and Williams have the best chance of anyone out there of giving Floyd a great challenge and possibly beating him. If the Pac fight doesn't come off, I hope Floyd fights one of them.

Martinez has a little fanbase now himself. This fight does over 1,000,000.

I disagree no ceilings! Can't see martinez doing big business. if they do fight im thinking its perfect for regular TV. With a great undercard it could create some new guys once floyd and pac retire.

If Floyd JMM can do a Million this fight certainly can.

[The Big Dunn]

JMM is mexican. Mexican fans tend to purchase ppvs in large numbers. I beive Martinexz is from argentina or colombia. Not 100% sure.

Would the mexican fanbase support this fight?

Floyd fighting on regular TV in the US? Not going to happen, lmao.

Floyd has proven to the world he doesn't need a dance partner to sell over a million. He can do a million with Martinez.

Pacquiao keeps looking like a chump and likes he's hiding something. He's the only boxer who has a problem with OSDT.

plain and simple.

Manny's the single boxer in the world who doesn't NEED Mayweather in his resume or win column...financially, for legacy, popularity or otherwise.
Same could be said vice versa.

Everyone else sees their career highest payday from fighting Mayweather.

Martinez fights with his hands low...you can get away with that vs, Sluggers like Williams and Cintron.....Against Floyd that opens the flood gates for a str8 right festival against the south paw Martinez.

Did you just call Paul Williams a slugger? And you call yourself a Paul Williams fan? LOL!

And no, you aren't supposed to get away with having your hands DOWN against sluggers, in fact that's probably the last thing you would want to do. Imagine trying to fight the mandingo warrior with your hands down... LOL.

Martinez also is not very accurate and is a wild swinger at times which opens himself up to be countered at will.

Mayweather is the master of NOT being hit...Sergio is fast but hes not as fast as Floyd is.

Mayweather would beat him to the punch all night and make him pay for fighting with his hands low.

Martinez also has bad stamina.....and after about 9 rounds of Chasing Floyd around, getting clinched and hitting air..hell be past tired.

Sergio has bad stamina? That's news to me. If anything I thought stamina would have been one of Sergio's strengths.

Mayweather dominates him.

Just because had success against a guy like Williams who struggle with southpaws and didn't have a good game plan or strategy doesn't mean he stands a chance in hell vs. Mayweather.

Mayweather EASY UD...............9 Rounds to 3.

I actually like his chances against PBF. He's big enough to hurt floyd and he's definitely quick enough to land on him. Throw in the fact that he has tremendous stamina and they're both slick boxers. The only difference is that Martinez is much more offensive minded whereas PBF is the complete opposite.

Let's also not forget that PBF isn't impervious to southpaws. He's had his own troubles dealing with them in the past. Sure he eventually overcame them, but the fact that he struggled against them at some point during the fight means that he isn't impervious against them.

If this fight was at 147 I'd favor PBF, but if this fight is made at 154 and up I like Sergio's chances. And I'll probably be putting money on him considering he would be the vast underdog in the fight. Be as it may, this fight isn't happening for the simple fact that Martinez doesn't draw enough people for floyd to make any cheddar off of.
