What a joke Martinez is turning out to be.

1. Don't believe everything you hear.

2. If this is true Martinez will fight and KO Pirog. I'll bet all my points on it. PM me.

Put it in America and you got a deal. HBO or SHO would put up a lot of money to have the event. Put it in Russia and walk away. There is no way a fighter of Sergios level should have to go there.

First I hope he doesn't take it so floyd can school him next. Far from a whatever the **** you called me.

Second who is the headline in a martinez pirog fight? That's right sergio is the star

The challenger comes to the champ. Moscow? are you ****ing kidding

the rule in boxing is - GO WHERE THE MONEY IS. . . UNLESS, you are scared of getting that ass taxed. . . Pirog has THE BALLS to challenge Sergio, and to pay the man at the same time. . .

Pirog will school Antonio Margarito's son. . . Stop making America look bad. . .

God I have some ignorant countrymen. . . we got this fat guy on a boat drinking a beer = typical fat american. . . smh. . . Why the **** would you rather put the fight in America, where maybe 3k fans will come out? Hvae it in russia and at least 10k people will come out. . . American boxingscene SUCKS right now unless you're floyd, pac, or cotto. . . Sergio's level?! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! The guy who got TKO'd BY MARGARITO?! Who barely beat Pavlik by a few rounds? WHO GOT BEAT BY WILLIAMS??!?!

Hopkins went to MOntreal because HE KNEW that is where the fans would come out, and where the money was - a bigger event.

AND U DUMBASSES - HBO WILL STILL PAY money and televise the fight if it's in Russia! Damn I swear. . . boooooyyyyyy. . . .

That's what he's trying to do genius. What don't you get. He's chasing cash cows and you want him to fight in moscow for some russian businessmen. .

Stop making yourself look bad. son

Its ok chasing the cash cows but if thats no realistic, you should fight the next best challenge. Which is now Pirog. Not the likes of Barker or Macklin,

Well unfortunately this is NSB mate.

IMO, since Sergio seemed to be all about the benjamins in calling out Pac and Floyd, so this offer from Pirog shouldn't be a problem for him to take. It is his record high payday after all, regardless of where it's held, Russia or the other side of the moon.

It's actually a win-win situation for him, no doubt he can beat Pirog on a good day anyway, and afterwards, he has more leverage to call out anyone he likes, even Pac or Floyd.

No matter who Pirog is and what people think about him, this is the fight that will have Sergio winning him "history will be kind to him" points, win or lose. Going to Russia to fight him, it's compelling stuff.

Do you know what this record pay is? The amount hasn't been disclosed, it's just talk at this point.

For all we know the record sum Sergio would be getting is a couple a hundred grand more. That amount of money is not worth going to Russia for.

Do you really think it's Pirog? The only fighter Pirog has beaten was a prospect.

Mackilin got robbed by Sturm in Germany, and Sturm is the number 2 rated fighter in the division. So, by using simple logic. shouldn't Mackilin really be more of a threat since he is the more accomplished fighter.

Pirog beat one dude who was an untested prospect and all of a sudden Pirog is Sugar Ray Robinson.
