Lol! got me with that! it's also a good addition to my vocabulary I think!

I have a different meaning for floyded.

Floyded = When a fighter does not take a fight and puts up some **** smokescreen just to avoid the fight.

Probably not going to get far with that one.

More likely definitions of Floyded
- When a father uses his child as a human shield
- When you leave ***els laying around the house and they get jacked.
- Swindled out of a $20million investment (Not talking about the boat)
- Unfairly being treated as a bad guy, as a result of playing a heel role
- Chokeslammed by the Big Show
- Carded for your ID at your own house
- Rubbed down by a large, black, bald man while listening to Dianna Ross

it's like this man (mayweather sr. voice) - HBO is guaranteeing martinez about 2 million dollars for his next appearance. . . HBO will JUMP ALL OVER this fight, and gladly pay him the 2 million television fee, RUSSIAN MONEY NOTWITHSTANDING. . . So add whatever Pirog's team is offering sergio (my guess is around 2 million), to that 2 mill from HBO. . . Who the F else is he gonna fight?! He HAS to go to 154 if he doesn't take this fight. . .

Not only that, but Hopkins has been a multi-millionare for several years now, anything he makes now is just gravy on top. He made aroung 4 or 5 mill for Trinidad and about 8 or 9 for De La Hoya, that set Hopkins up for life. Sergio is very far from those figures. So, if he's going to risk his title in Russia, it better be a good amount of money involved.

As long as there are neutral judges and a neutral ref let's do it.

I'm awaiting Maravilla's answer.

[UglyPug]

please guys, remember whatever they are offering sergio IS SEPARATE from his HBO money (assuming they wil televise the fight - which u know they will). . . please keep that in mind.

[americanbot]

It better be for like 4 to 5 million or tell the commie to **** off.

ether fight pirog in russia for around 3 million or fight pirog in the u.s. for 1.5

at the end of the day hbo is gonna demand for this fight. REGARDLESS..........

if martinez won't fight pirog in russia for a much higher pay i doubt he fights him in the u.s. for a much lower pay.........

again, theres no way martinez can get out of this without looking like a ducker this time around.............

Haha, we don't even have neutral or honest judges in our own backyard, what makes you think these "neutral" judges won't be swayed by the Russian sponsers.

It't simple. Martinez going to Russia would mean he would have to knock Pirog out to win. Martinez and his camp would know this, so, the dollars have to make sense for such a risk.

The huge difference Americanbot, is that the fight will be held on American soil instead of Russian soil where Martinez would probably have to win by KO. Do you see the difference? He win a decision in the US and keep his title, or he can go to Russia, get robbed of decision most people thought he should of won.

Remember, Sergio had two questionable decisions on US soil. Cintron and Williams.
