Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Given No Out By HBO: Dzinziruk or Step

[antrob]

I like HBO stance, hopefully the do the same thing with Al Haymon's client. Although I don't think Martines-Dzinziruk is a really interesting fight. HBO really needs to stop making promises and just start buying good fights that are presented to them.

How the hell is Martinez going to make the fight if Dzinzurik ****ing priced himself out intentionally???

Dzinzurik wants to fight C level guys in europe, he has no interest in coming to America just to lose his strap.

Dzinziruk doesn't fight out of Europe anymore.

agree 100% buddy...

Why would the Guy relocate to America, sign with American promoters If he didnt want to fight In America???

Why are people hating on Al Haymon's fighters? 2011 we got:

Mayweather Jr vs Mosley
Pirog vs D. Jacobs
P. Williams vs S. Martinez 2
etc

What Top Rank vs out of house fights did we get to see?

maybe the 1 Mill he wants and he's not worth, but does he really want to? c'mon man!!

Everyone knows this is the proving grounds, now, if he really wanted to fight here, do u really think he would only have 1 fight here??!! c'mon bro..

yea you're right that is the bottomline, but what if you want to support ur fighter when he's gettin stiffed??!!

Wow! Not cool to see a network play matchmaker but at least they aren't standing for the BS in 2011. Now if they'd just tell Richard, Bob and Al the same thing...

thats the dream, but the two drama queens (pac and may) would just go to showtime who would welcome them with open arms

I'm confused on Dzinziruk asking for a mil, while his minimum is 750k. I originally thought he wasn't getting his minimum. And, if 2.4mil is what HBO is paying then is real easy for Dzinziruk to get his minimum but now asking for a mil? WTF? However, the 2.4mil is just a rumor hasn't really been confirmed has it?

I don't know why HBO would not add Pirog to the list. Dzinziruk or Pirog or no fight.

And, I do like the stance by HBO. But, it has to be across the board. You just can't single out Cotto and Martinez.

However, I question the ******ity of HBO. Even though Martinez-Dzinziruk is a good fight especially for the hardcore fans not so much the casual fans. Why not take that same stance with Martinez-Pirog? Tell Dibella Pirog or no fight and I think a Martinez-Pirog fight would be cheaper to make cuz' Pirog is begging to go back to HBO, does not have a ridiculous high minimum, So I think it would be cheaper to make, and I think it would be a better more meaningful fight at 160.

If HBO tells Martinez to take a walk, Showtime should jump in and make Martinez-Pirog and it would probably cost them cheaper than 2.4mil.

All I know is that if Martinez doesn't get a TV date, he will not fight. Dibella would not put out any independent PPV out like Arum would.

I like this fight, Dzinziruk is slick like Sturm and just because he fight in europe not necessarily a chop liver. i see Dzinziruk winning a SD.
