Comments Thread For: DiBella To Arum: "Let's Make Pacquiao-Martinez at 155"

[trainhard_187]

Fight aint happening.. Why are we talking about Pac fighting Martinez rather the Floyd fighting him..

Oh thats right, Pac has more balls to fight Martinez if it were to happen...

[borikua]

All I have to say is that Martinez deserves the payday more than Mosley, Berto, or even Marquez.

Make it at 155 for Martinez 160 title.

[hanzoh74]

Pac and his camp will never accept a fight Martinez. Pac will get SMOKED. And isn't Pac the Junior Middleweight Champion, right? Why not make a counter offer and bring Sergio down to the JMW limit of 154?

It won't happen folks. Pac's folks ain't done milking the cash cow just yet. I'm sure there's a couple more soup sandwiches he can fight to make some more money with.

And I must say if Pac fights Floyd...Floyd by UD. If Pac fights Sergio...Sergio by murder.

OMG uved been dreaming this trash for 2 yrs already until now Pac keeps on winning and winning...well good luck dreaming boy

Pac is a human, not superman

This just goes to show how great pac is. Any other fighter and we wouldn't even be talking like this. This dude is HUGE compared to pac, the size is just too much. U can't just keep going up in weight forever or you'll end up loosing to a guy who isn't on ur level but is just too big for u. Pac is a small welter, he needs to stick at 147 and below. He doens't need to fight anymore giants, he deserves the chance to fight a few guys his own size for a change. If anyone needs to move up and fight martinez it's floyd, but I wouldn't be holding my breath.

[QUOTE=deuce_drop;9645091]martinez said he can make 156 but wasn't going to go lower. i wouldn't if i were him, if pacquiao wants to be the man known for all his weight class achievements then he has to come up in weight.

seriously, i'm a fan of pacquiao's but he can't demand guys come down a weight class, then say he's fighting in his opponents weight class for that weight classes title, because it's really not that weight class.

i don't care of manny weighs 147 and wants to fight for a 160 belt, i say let him, but don't make that guy come down to 150 and say you fought a middleweight.........

if you want to fight a middleweight let him be a middleweight and weigh a middleweights weight and have the fight............

now if pacquiao gets the other fighter to agree with the negotiations then that is on his opponent and it means he knows the rules and has agreed to them and so the weight demands for me would not be a problem (catchweights and conditions) because i know that the fighter knew his situation and agreed to it, so no sympathy there if it turns bad for em......[/QUOTE]

but isnt that the case with all his recent bigger opponents? they agreed to it

[Mr. Philadel]

Promoter Lou DiBella has responded to the recent comments that were made by Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank. During a recent interview with BoxingScene.com's Lem Satterfield, Arum said that he believed Manny Pacquiao would beat Sergio Martinez, but his fighter would be putting himself at a great disadvantage with respect to the difference in size and weight.

IMO...Sergio is too big....BUT...if Manny and Bob decide to take the fight....
154 would be cool....then boxing fans can feel comfortable with calling Manny a 154 champion....as of right now they hijacked the 154 WBC strap....real dudes getting fed up with how those dudes are claiming titles these days....another thing, did Bob REALLY just say that Manny can't be gettin' hurt?!? ....last time I checked, this sport was a hurt game

This right here. He should just defend his tittle for once unlike most titles he has won. Whats that saying your not champion until youve defended your tittle. Its not just bout winning it any fighter could do that but a true champ holds on to the belt and beats all comers.

[eddiefutch]

That's right DiBella,ride Sergio's nuts and milk as much money as you can from him you ****** parasite.he's 35 and won't be boxing that much longer.Milk it for all you can get.DiBella is getting as bad as Arum

how bout no
did you forget thers a weightclass called jr middleweight which is at 154. Why the **** would Martinez put his middleweight title on the line to fight manny. Manny has made up weight classes and it has to stop. 1 way to help is by not supporting this bull****
Sergio is 35/36 years old. Being drained can hurt him badly

[pelonxsoldier28]

If you gonna agree to fight at a certain weight then make that weight plain and simple. If you can't make that weight then don't fight. Weight draining opponents weakens legacies, and there's always gonna be people saying that that's what Pac's doing. Pac can fight beat up both the Klitch's if he weight drained them too. It's an unfair advantage.
