Comments Thread For: Martinez vs Angulo: HBO Balks, Demand Paul Williams

[NesNY]

It's pretty cool for HBO to protect us from these bitchass promoters. Give us the best matchups outside a ppv or GTFOH with that bullsh**

[S.G.]

Angulo is a good alternative, but I'm with HBO on this one -- make that Williams rematch.

[Check_hooks]

i think martinez is worried about getting robbed again

but its the biggest money fight for both martinez and p will since pac already has an opponent so make the fight happen!

[King Ju-Ju]

HBO wants that fight but Williams doesn't want it, he wants 2 fight Welterweights so make it happen Greenburg.

That's exactly my opinion on the subject, Dont show either fighter on HBO unless they fight each other first.

He didn't say what you said, Ray.

[UTFISH]

HBO can get any fight they want with a large enough check. Pay the man enough and he'll forget about welterweight for one fight.

HBO screwing up again. Martinez vs Angulo is a good fight! who doesn't want to see that. Williams vs Martinez II would be awesome but that can wait till next year.

Its good to see HBO trying to force fights to be made but why are they so set on this match alone? Why didn't they force Gamboa-Caballero? or Khan vs Maidana? Ross Greenburg is failing miserably and should be out (atleast in boxing). Showtime has been gaining ground and at this point, id rather have my showtime subscription than HBO's

Well in a perfect world we could see Williams Martinez II Angulo vs Kirkland Mayweather vs Pacquiao and Cotto Margarito II, but this is boxing.

dibella is such an idiot to say martinez is comfortable at 160. if he's comfortable at 160 then why is he calling out mayweather who is a 147 lber and angulo who is a 154 lber.

of course dibella and martinez have no leverage. cause these guys can't promote their boxers. they are on HBO welfare. where else is dibella gonna go? he can't promote jack **** without HBO or Showtime.

no it's not. angulo ain't ready. he's just gonna get outboxed easily. this fight is a mismatch.

who doesn't want to see that. Williams vs Martinez II would be awesome but that can wait till next year.

it can, but why should it?

Its good to see HBO trying to force fights to be made but why are they so set on this match alone?

um... cause it was a FOTY fight the first time.

Why didn't they force Gamboa-Caballero?

cause Top Rank is a real promotional company and they aren't on HBO welfare so Top Rank can't be pushed around.

or Khan vs Maidana?

Cause HBO gave all their dates to GBP and now they can't control what GBP does with those dates.

Ross Greenburg is failing miserably and should be out (atleast in boxing).

he is a failure in general, but he is a greater failure if he doesn't give boxing fans martinez/pwill.

Showtime has been gaining ground and at this point, id rather have my showtime subscription than HBO's

well, i'm happy HBO isn't giving up on pwill/martinez. if they don't fight each other, I hope HBO makes them sit out the rest of the year.
