Top Rank and Golden Boy would never sign Martinez because he only has three fights in him left. They'll only promote long term investments. No point in spending so much money on Martinez because he's retiring soon.
nah... GBP would sign s-mart, but they'll use him as opponents for their stars and young up and coming start, just like they fed jmm and mosley to wifebeater, fed campbell to ortiz, tried to feed jmm to khan, etc...
Sergio will never be a big draw. There arent enough Argentinian fight fans for that to happen.
This is also why i dont see Martinez-Floyd ever happening. Why would Floyd fight a high risk, low reward fight like Martinez, when he could fight a easier fight in Amir Khan and make more money? boxing is a business...
(i know the last part of my post was off topic, lol)

Martinez and Pwill are both gentleman. There was like no promotion from what I saw. Pacquiao vs Margarito was heavily advertised and had a 24/7. Real boxing fans would pay to see Martinez but he doesnt speak a lick of english. The casual fan wont back that as much a english speaking fighter
english speaking, non-english speaking doesnt' matter... if s-mart continues to KTFO his opponents in impressive fashion, he will gain a following.
I'd like to see a full arena as much as anyone else, but I'm wondering if the attendance for Martinez-Williams had any effect on your entertainment during the fight?
No, of course not. If the two best fighters in the world fight in some cellar I wouldn't care as long as they film it so I can watch it.
But that doesn't excuse lazy promoters who are hurting the sport.
