Comments Thread For: Angulo Fires Back on Turning Down $750K For Martinez

[Nesty]

This is how HBO/SHO have spoiled boxer into asking for more and more $ fight after fight! When a young cat of 20 pro fights, has a tantrum becuase his name is not in the promos (his figth againt Alcine) and now is complaining about making 750K for a title shot in premium cable..... what we have is a premadonna.

Has anyone told el "Puppy" that there is a recession and unemployment is over 10%!

Other prospect kill for an opportunity for the title for short money..... El Perro want almost a million... this is the guy that lost the only "step-up" fight, one that he was a favorite........ PLEASE!!!!!!

I wonder how much he got when he lost to Cintron

I'll cut the guy a little slack, but still, 750000 is more than he ever made. He's a fan friendly fight, he'll get more fights after he gets his ass kicked.

Not Showtime homey,that's all hbo!!When Angulo was on showtime,they build him up nicely!!Showtime always builds up the up n comers then hbo comes along & ruin their careers!!Showtime is far better than hbo in my opinion!!

Perro's manager was wise to turn the money down for good reason. Martinez will make Perro look like a C fighter and 750k will probably cap his top wager after that ugly loss.
If I was his manager, I would never allow him to fight Martinez unless He's making retiring money, which are out of his scope.
Smart manager.

If its at the staples then Angulo has a right to be pissed he would be bringing the crowd its not like hes asking for the majority of the money he knows Sergio deserves that but to give Martinez the gate when Angulo is doing alot of the tickets is unfair

Many of you don't have a clue as to what goes down in boxing. The thing is Angulo is not getting $750k. After taxes, and after paying people who are associated with him, he'll be lucky to bring home 200k. Money is the reason many of you guys call fighters cowards for refusing to fight someone, and then as a fan cry when a fight isn't made. Then you the fan quickly spit, "It's the most money he's ever made". STFW! You don't take the punches so wtf are YOU the fan crying about when a fight isn't made? I'm glad Angulo wants more money.

C'mon Alfredo, ur my boy and I love watching you fight but my dude has been acting like a true Diva lately, this **** needs to stop. Perro you lost against Cintron...out of all people you lost against that fool, and unfortunately the "fans" will always bring that **** up. $750K is a lot of money, plus the chance to fight for the MW crown, in all honestly, you don't deserve to get paid $1Mill at this point. Sorry bro but that's the truth.

I wonder how much he got when he lost to Cintron

I know that's part of the equation but honestly, who is Perro to be demanding $1Mil a fight? I love the guy, I'm one of his biggest fans but c'mon. I honestly don't think even Sergio was getting paid much more than what they offer Angulo anyway.
