Comments Thread For: Martinez: I Don't Blame Arum For Protecting Pacquiao

[check hook]

WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez told BoxingScene.com that he doesn't blame Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank, for refusing his catch-weight proposal for a Manny Pacquiao fight. Martinez was willing to fight Pacquiao at 155-pounds, which Arum rejected. Pacquiao holds the WBC title at 154-pounds, but he plans to return to the welterweight division in his next fight.

Loving Sergio right now.....he is going in hard against MP and TR.

Martinez will probably make 1.5 million at most fighting Pacquiao. He could probably make 1 million per fight with bums just like Berto has been doing if he wanted to. It's definitely not about the money.

Nah, he would make at least 3M without the PPV sales and live gate. He now makes 1M fighting guys like Kelly and Williams with a low live gate.

pacquiao would retire after fighting martinez alright.

But then again, fat chance of that, because when has manny ever fought a top fighter, who was on top of his game?

not in quite a while!

Too bad, because I thought Martinez is a hell of a fighter but what happening to him of challenging the smaller guys esp. Pac who couldn't even come up to JMW? If Martines is toughed enough, he should fight others in his own weight class, or northwards in the likes of Lucian Bute or Andre Ward!

He COULD have come up higher, but he didn't want to give up too much speed. DUMMMYYYYY!!!!!

Pac has fought as high as 149 before.

It's sad that now YOU *******S ARE HIDING BEHIND THE SIZE ISSUE, when you clearly know that it's not the size that's the issue, IT'S THE SKILL.

You'd rather keep seeing your GOD keep fighting has-beens and damaged fighters.

QUITE SAD, REALLY!

PAC WILL, FOR THE MOST PART, ALWAYS BE DOUBTED IN THE EYES OF HARDCORE BOXING FANS IF HE KEEPS FIGHTING THE SUB PAR LEVEL OF COMPETITION HE'S BEEN FIGHTING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS!

I'M ALREADY GUARANTEEING AND STATING THAT PAC WILL FIGHT MOSLEY NEXT!!!!!

BECAUSE MOSLEY HAS ALL THE PROPER QUALIFICATIONS TO FIGHT PAC.

YOU SMART ONES ALREADY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!

TRUST, IT WILL HAPPEN!

[Mr. Truth]

Fakk off.. You think you are superhero..why don't you fight Ward or Froch or Bute or Pirog or Haye... Let's see if you can win.. matherfakkker...

[Khalid X]

I love it man. He needs to keep calling out Manny so this fight can happen.

[Canelo Phresh]

Its been less than a week and *******s hate maravilla already. lmao

[LeadUppercut]

Don't forget Arum did not who Martinez was when he made the fight with Kelly.

Manny will keep ducking Martinez.

Yes he did, Martinez was not a secret.

But you are correct.....

FACT: If Manny Pacquiao is a genuine JMW champion, then he is ducking Sergio Martinez. If Manny Pacquiao is not a genuine JMW champion, then he should not be required to fight Sergio Martinez.

Well Pac-fan's..... which one is it ?

[Sweet Jesus]

Props to Martinez for exposing Pacquiao.

After the Super 6, I hope Martinez gets a big payday vs. Ward.
