Comments Thread For: DiBella Erupts: Fires Verbal Bombs at Arum Over Martinez

[Left Hook Tua]

think of promoters as sports agents.

guys like dibella are the regular sports agents. they know how to do their job and can help get deals done with what the teams are offering based on the talent of the player.

now guys like arum are super sports agents. they have a ton of big stars all around with other teams. they leverage their influence on those big stars to get deals done with teams not just on the talent of one particular player but because they influence other star players to the benefit or detriment of teams.

it's not that dibella and shaw and guys like them are ******.

they don't have the resources of arum or king back then or even golden boy now.

I know... it is just that I hate it when a successful person is being torn down just because he is successful. And why are people not complaining about GBP doing in house fighting as well?

Ultimately, it's the promoters fault for failing to get name recognition for his fighter.

Dibella hasn't been doing **** to get the Martinez brand out into those living rooms where it counts. Promoters need to spread the name far and wide to the biggest media outlets available and trust that the fighters will bring the goods come fight time.

Martinez should be the easiest guy in the world to promote ...

he has talent
hes willing to fight tough opponents
and he looks like a model...

he should be on spanish talk shows, Novelas doing guest appearances, they could get him all types of gigs

DiBella is a loose cannon......i love it.

man , people complain about in house fights.

sometimes in house fights help get a fight done.

it's not always a detriment.

just depends on the situation.

Dude, the people who everyone calls one of the ATG was a Panamanian boxer name ROBERTO DURAN. Now, tell me how was Don King able to promote that boxer who had no support from fellow Panamanians? Don't tell me back in the 70s or 80s that there was a huge Panamanian-American population living in the United States.

Seriously, people - Dibella should PROMOTE!

A Panamanian boxer popular in the United States.

Azumah Nelson of Ghana = Don King

Azumah Nelson a boxer from Ghana and PPV attraction. WOW, Dibella must be the ******est promoter ever.

Being popular doesn't mean ATG or vice versa.

Nelson was pretty much on the undercards of Chavez and Tyson PPV's

Duran wasn't really as popular when he was at LW, However, beating Mexico's Carlos Palomino, and very popular USA Golden Boy Sugar Ray Leonard made him very popular. Just like how if Martinez beats Pac or Floyd would make him popular right now.

Either way that was not my point. My point was the reason that Martinez wasn't as big as JCC Jr(who's not popular at all by casual fan) or Alvarez(who popularity comes from only Mexico) it's because of last name(JCC Jr case) and Nationality(Alvarez case)

You think Alvarez can fight up north and still sell out like he has in a heave Mexican populated city? No of course not.

Dibella might be a shit promoter. No doubt Arum is a better promoter. Nobody is saying different. So calm down.

Lou Dibella "but i did everything hbo told me to do"

he has to.

smaller promoters are very dependent on hbo , showtime , espn , etc.


dibella wanted to fight zbik on hbo. hbo said no. martinez had to fight someone else.

now look at the difference with cotto-vanes. hbo said no. arum said ok , i'll put cotto-mayorga on ppv.

then since he was doing a showtime ppv with pacquiao. he got showtime to do the cotto ppv as test run to prepare for the pac fight.

all about influence and resources. no matter how much better guys like dibella and shaw are or how much smarter they are , they can't compete with a guy with more influence and resources.

[MrClutch85]

Dibella is a 100% correct in everything he said about Bob Chavez Jr is a fraud he will be leaving the ring in a stretcher if he ever fights Martinez Bob knows this using the lame fanbase build him up first excuse BS on some real **** Bob has done a terrible job building up Gamboa and Donaire they should be already Superstars in boxing

[Check_hooks]

LMAO at a bunch of dudes on the internet thinking that they can promote boxers better than Arum.

Arum will go down as the greatest boxing promoter in history. Dibella isn't even worthy of being a pimple on Bobs 80+ year old ass.
