Lou DiBella:F##kin boxing NERDS (and I am one) don't pay the f##kin bills!

Lou Direct Messaged me on twitter after I told him that most people on NSB want to see Pirog-Martinez.

No, normal people don't even know who Pirog is. F##kin boxing NERDS (and I am one) don't pay the F##kin bills!

If you're able to contact Dibella again, mention Felix Sturm...

He talks about Sturm a lot in this recent video.

He's kind of right though. I consider myself a boxing nerd and I only order 1 ppv a year, stream the rest heh

I wouldn't pay for a pirog fight, not sold on him yet. I'd pay for martinez vs pac/floyd or martinez vs jean pascal after he beats bhop

[VitoCarlos]

Exactly what I ment. If Lou DiBella/Gary Shaw had a chance to even be money hungry as Top Rank/GBP they would do it any opportunity they can.

what a jerk.

It's the boxing nerds who eventually build up the super-stars by telling the casual fans about them.

I don't see why everyone is worked up. Anyone who's followed boxing the last 3 decades know boxing is geared towards the mass crowds and not the small nerds or hardcores. EVERY business is like that. We as hardcore fans have very little say or influence on anything. You ***** and complain about Lou's comments but you guys are the same idiots who stream fights or download them the next day instead of paying for the ppv or going to a fight. The casuals will forever be the main focus of boxing whether you like it or not. They are the ones that pay the bills. Casuals out number hardcore fans probably 1,000-1. Promoters don't need hardcore fans to spread the word. that's what advertising and promotions do. I'm sure a commercial and billboards can reach alot more people than you're co workers and friends.

Hardcore fans never made any boxer rich. It's always been the casuals that people $$$ in fighters pocket and DLH is a perfect example of that. he had hundreds of thousands of girls who knew nothing about boxing, but would tune in every oscar fight because "hes hot" and "he fights good"

anyone with an ounce of a brain would jump at any opportunity to make millions of dollars.

LMAO!

What?

Normal people doesnt know Sergio Martinez either. His name sounds like a Latino actor.

[joelab75]

Pirog is way more popular then Dzinziruk. clearly ducking.! Pirog fought and beat the supposed to be future boxing star Daniel Jacobs. i guess because Pirog is actually a middleweight and Dzinziruk is Jr. Middleweight. so easier fight for Sergio!

Nice candid interview with DiBella. He's outspoken (as should every promoter be), charismatic and has keen understanding of the business. I however, didn't like him calling Kirkland a "degenerate." That was degrading comment and reallly unwarranted..

[RSBonos]

The casual sports fans are demanding to see Manfredo. They were just talking about him on sportcenter.
