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

[vrodz]

This is a good fight yet HBO does not have the money to get it done, but anytime berto decides to fight some bum or a jr ww thry cough up twice as much. Go figure!

[Ray*]

And have they resolve the 750,000 dollars that Dzin is suppose to get as a minimum from Shaw? Because its all good and dandy that they want Martinez to fight Dzin but are they prepared to pay the money that was in his contract with shaw?

[komandante]

that's the way to go, Martinez should fight his size and weight in Dzinziruk and not pick on Pac just for a big payday. Pacquiao will beat him anyway @147 lbs everyday.

wish pac and may would stop cherry picking and fight the real p4p champ Maravilla

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?

Haymon's fighters NEVER go against each other, so I don't see what your point is. Haymon is a manager/advisor while Top Rank is a promoter. Apples and oranges.

Im surprised HBO is pushing Sergio like this for a fight with Dzinziruk who has no name among casual fans and isnt even that popular with the hardcore fans. Im sure it will be a good fight and the one time i saw him he looked decent but of all the fighters and fights to push to make why this one?

[Blue Heffner]

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.

This is exactly what it is. He basically saying if I come to the US, I'm going to atleast get paid.

Everyone is gonna watch Cotto vs Mayorga over Martinez vs. Dzinziruk. Why is HBO picking Martinez over Cotto when Cotto has sold way more PPVS and is a way bigger draw? I know HBO is sideing with Golden Girls promotions but if it dont makes dollars then it dont make sense.

Why is HBO throwing their weight around with Martinez? This is a guy who deserves to fight anyone he wants. Why is it that they are acting like they call the shots meanwhile they can't say no to a fanless ***** like Berto. They picked the wrong fighter. It's not guys like Martinez that the fans are complaining about. Martinez should tell them to take a hike. Go to Showtime, I'm sure they would appreciate someone of Martinez's caliber.

Not everybody,

Well not me that is for sure.

I will watch Cotto-Mayorga press conference cuz' that would be more exciting than both fights.

But, I rather watch a more competitive fight for free than just watch a tune up beat down for PPV.

That is just me though.
