Comments Thread For: Lucian Bute-Sergio Martinez on Hold For Now, Says DiBella

[Iceta Lives]

Ward leftovers...

Name which fighters. Idiot.

Miranda and one other guy I forget. He isn't beating any good fighters. Let's just put it that way. Had a chance to fight Pascal and instead Hopkins may beat him.

Smart move by Diabella.

Man pump...I just stated this in post last night so it's kinda crazy to see Dibella come out with this so soon.

Showtime has locked Bute down for several fights so unless Martinez can break his ties with HBO, this fight won't happen. Also I believe HBO will put up more money to tie down Martinez because they are in desperate need of guys to be the face of their program. Other than Khan, Mayweather, and Pacquiao, believe it or not....they are running out of elite fighters to put money behind. All there former guys are on there way out.....so it only makes sense to make a run at Sergio and put up the money for fight with him against guys at 154 and 160.

I heard the Martinez' promoter, Lou Dibella, has been celebrating and talking about big money fights for Segio against either Pacquiao or Mayweather. He should stop aounting the chickens until they're hatched because the fact still remains that:
1. Sergio is too much of a high risk for Floyd
2. Sergio is low reward because he hasn't established a massive following that is demanded in a fight against cash cows like Pacquiao or Mayweather
3. He is too big for Pacquiao. If Pacquiao goes up to 154, Pac gets demolished. If Sergio goes down to 147 to fight Pac, Sergio gets demolished.

Anyhow, he will be ranked hight in the P4P list after this victory. P4P in theory is about defying the weigh scale, so why not challenging Lucian Bute. If he's able to accomplish that, he will surely development that sort of following which makes him a cash cow himself. Don't rely on other cash cows. Make a cash cow of yourself.

A sergio fight with Pac won't happen because he's "too big" argument is bull****. The real reason why the fight won't happen is because Sergio is a slick boxer with power and speed and has a real chance to actually win the fight unlike any of Pac's last couple of opponents. Pac has fought bigger and taller guys than Sergio so that argument is a crutch to not get in the ring with sergio who poses a threat. Sergio poses a threat to both Mayweather and Pac and both men can and should fight him if not fighting each other.

I'm happy for Sergio at least now there is another King in boxing to give us some great fights.

Screw the politics, why can't people make deals anymore? Whatever happened to good ole' fashioned negotiations.

Everything is "either/or" now.


Bute/Martinez would be a mega fight in Canada.

The other guy you "forget" doesn't exist. And if anything, Miranda is Pavlik/Abraham leftover, not Ward's.

And ironically, Ward's next opponent is Bute's leftover.

He got a chance to fight Pascal? Let's see. Pascal beats Dawson on August 14th. He calls out Bute. Bute, at that time, already has a fight scheduled against Brinkley. By that time, Pascal already signed to fight Hopkins. After the Hopkins fight, Pascal has to give Dawson a rematch.

Did you expect Bute to fight Pascal in December after a fight on October 29th? Chronologically, the fight was impossible to make at this time.

exactly what I didn't want to take time to write, Iceta Live is a *****tyy poster, can't reason with the guy

This is words out Bute's promoters mouths. "We don't want to fight Pascal in the near future". So that shit of each guy having inconveniant schedules don't fly and Bute and his team always shrug off the fight. There's another video of where he shrugged off Kessler I believe it happened before the super six started. If you don't want to admit that he is being protected and throw around red K when I make logical posts, then be my guest.

Martinez is not a supermiddleweight this fight should never happen. Martinez weighed 168 for his last fight and Bute weighed in 182 for his last fight.
