Comments Thread For: DiBella Open To Co-Promoting Martinez With Top Rank

[warp1432]

here's the problem... once you chew someone out, it's not likely they'll give you a co-pro (especially if they weren't prone to do so before aforementioned chewing out)... that's what make dibella a joke.

dibella and martinez can stop calling out top rank fighters cause that bridge is burnt down.

dibella acting like he actually is holding good cards, but in fact it's arum that has all the aces up his sleeve. dibella is not a good bluffer and everyone see through his gimpness. that's what makes dibella a joke.

So Arum can bad mouth anyone he wants and then do a co-promotion if he wants but Dibella can't fire back? He took the high road when Marley pressed him.

I agree Arum has more "aces" than Dibella does, but that doesn't make Dibella a joke for firing back.

Uhhhh Steroidgio Martinez is a PPV disaster, he gets no ratings, and he can't sell tickets.

Why would you get 50-50 w/ Margarito or Cotto or anybody else-- when they're the ones bringing in the $$$?

This guy is clueless. No wonder even if Paulie Malinaggay left him.

PAC and Floyd were both PPV disasters too but they were given their chance to shine and look at them now!
Sergio hasn't been exposed to the world and if he were to fight the margs Cotto winner that would be his shine.

Uhhhhh Pac and Floyd both took a lower % vs. Oscar because Oscar brought the $$$.

Steroidgio doesn't bring in any $$$ so how the **** is that fat slob Lou DiBella going to demand 50-50 vs. Corgarito, when Corgarito is bringing in all the $$$?

I don't think he really means 50/50. Gotta start high when negotiating.

Maybe he's just HIGH.

yeah, cause arum has marg, cotto, pac, and chavez jr... all guys that martinez wants to fight.

if dibella is trying to kiss bob's azz to get martinez those fights, he's not doing it right.

He took the high road when Marley pressed him.

nah, he wasn't taking the high road, he was being pragmatic

I agree Arum has more "aces" than Dibella does, but that doesn't make Dibella a joke for firing back.

it's the combination of firing back and then submitting to a co-pro that makes him a joke.

that's like calling someone's bluff with a bluff, but then admitting a second later that you don't have ***** in your hand.

Why? Martinez is a Middleweight…

He was a 154 lb fighter not too long ago, but chased middleweight for some glory. He got it and wants more.

[spoonwars]

Martinez should focus on fighting REAL 154-160 pounders. Cotto is not a real 154 pounder, Pacquiao is not a 154 pounder, Mayweather is not a 154 pounder!

Martinez should focus on fighters in his weight class, i.e., Angulo (154), Alvarez (154), Bundrage (154), Golovkin (154-160), Chavez (160), Pirog (160), Sturm (160), etc... Although I do reckon some of these fighters will not fight him!

Oh, and just a thought. Why would DiBella even think Martinez would deserve a 50-50 split with Margarito? Margarito already TKO'd him and is a much bigger draw than Sergio! Just saying.

You forgot to admit Margarito is now a real 154 pounder.

Doing a co-pro has nothing to do with submitting. NOT doing a co-pro would be submitting. Dibella isn't saying that he'll have Martinez partially sign up with Top Rank. He's saying he'll co-promote a fight with Arum if Martinez were to fight with one of Arum's fighters. This was the exact same issue last year when there were negotiations between Cotto and Martinez. Arum wanted to buy out Dibella (for that one fight) and do all the promoting himself.

after all the ***** talking back and forth, you'd expect dibella to tell arum to go to hell... that's what makes him a joke.
