Martinez is scared of Ukrainian power.

thats some money he is asking for...
Dzinziruk and Pirog sound the most worthy, so if he fights either, that'll be great.
all i know is they better give martinez a good opponent.

He's not asking for money, that minimum is in his contract with Pelullo and Shaw for HBO headliner.

Martinez is scared of Ukrainian power.

Ukrainian power is obviously ****ting his pants at the thought of fighting Maravilla, unless he makes some concessions on the money.

This is a golden opportunity for a guy who's career has basically been non-existent in the last few years.

how and what has Sergei done to deserve 750K!!! That is ridiculous, I can't believe Angulo would have been paid more than Martinez, I hope the little money he made is going strong in Mexico. Paul got punished but at least he had the ballz to get in the ring with Martinez.

The Martinez needs to move on b/c he's the draw no one can even pronounce Dzinziruk!! If that's the case then Shaw needs to make it happen before Sergei ends up on Showtime. I doubt he made 200K from his last fight.

Whether it's Sergei or Pirog, this fight needs to happen...mostly because I'm bringing my father as a Christmas gift, but you know, also for the sport.

Martinez breaks him down within 4 rds and stops him by the 6th. The truth inspires fear even the bravest of men.

give pirog the chance.I like his fight style,Also seems like a cool guy.

[BostonGuy]

You bunch of morons dont ****ing read. He is not asking for 750K, thats his minimum for any fight in wich his promoter sign him for. Who in their right mind will give away money that is rightfully theirs????

HBO needs to then pay both guys, pay Sergei his 750K and Sergio 1Mill. If they pay guys like Berto to fight bums, they can pay this guys what they are worth

I don't understand. It seems to me that a "minimum" means the least amount of cash a fighter will accept to fight. Is that not what it means?

Gary Shaw should make this happen.

If that is Dzinziruk minimum then Shaw should go to his pocket and pay the rest of what HBO is paying to make the 750k to give to Dzinziruk.

That would be something Arum would do, Shaw should be a real promoter and do it too. Maybe if he would made the Dzinziruk-Angulo fight when he had the chance this would not be happening. Maybe if he would of kept Dzinziruk active enough maybe Dzinziruk would of taken a pay cut here.

But, no, Dzinziruk has been with him for over a year and the best he could offer him was Daniel Dawson almost a year ago? Has Shaw had no dates since then where he could have found a slot to put Dzinziruk in? These promoters are not doing their job properly they're depending so much on TV money that they don't know how to do their job.

I blame Shaw more than anybody.

Can you elaborate on how this works, Jro?
