Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Offered Record Purse For Dmitry Pirog

[LAFIRPO]

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. . .

I can't say this enough. You are dumb son.

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. . . .

Wait...wait...wait, I'm ignorant? How long have you been following this sport? If you have any knowledge of it you would realize 7,000 people paying at the gate does NOT matter in the purses of fighters. Boxing especially in America(the most lucrative nation for majority of fighters not name Klitschko/Strum and a few other)has never cared about attendance. Why do you think there is so many comps in the sport and majority of the events are held in the two biggest ******** cities? Casinos have always ran the sport and forked the millions upon millions dollars that bring big events to the sport. You think the reason why Floyd or Manny gets paid what they do because their gates only bring in only a quarter of just what they get. Yeah, who's ignorant now.

HBO will not pay money to cover the fight in Russia. Martinez's numbers are not very strong in the United States and Pirog is unknown to the people that run the sport, casual fans. If they do it will be for a minimal amount due to tape delay and be matched up with a live event in the United States.

As for your Hopkins example, not even comparable. First off ***face HBO let Hopkins walk when he first matched up against Pascal. It wasn't until the both put on a good event that HBO showed interest. Not to mention Hopkins is a staple of American boxing and Martinez simply is not.

Yeah, I'm the ignorant one. BTW, I'm not fat at all ***face. Brush up on the background of boxing before you try to spit ****** **** also. It's rather annoying.

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.

THIS is the only logical argument the MARTARDS can utilize at this point. . .

But still, if that sum that is just a few hundred grand more IS ON TOP OF the guaranteed 2 million HBO would pay him, he still will look cowardly and fiendish for not fighting Pirog. . . HBO wants the fight, the fans want the fight. . . and sergio fights for the fans, right?! he's the self-proclaimed people's champ, right?! oh wait. . .

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.

I think Pirog is better than Macklin. He has more chance of beating Sergio

He made about $1.5 Million against Barker.

Bottom line is that Pirog has offered to fight him in America or Russia. Pirog's team believes there would be more money from investors if they fight in Russia, however they are certainly willing to fight Martinez in America which would be 100% funded by HBO.

HBO wants the fight? Why, because you say so? I'm sure HBO really doesn't care about Pirog unless he does something big in his career. HBO hasn't even show the slightest interest in Pirog as he sits in Russia fighting club fighter after club fighter. I'm pretty sure a Cotto, JCC Jr, Alvarez or a number of other fights are much higher in their eyes.

HBO hasn't shown interest in Pirog because he f***ed up Jacobs.

Yes, which means Martinez would need probably 2.5 million for this fight and Pirog would probably look for around a million. But 7,000 extra fans are going to justify 4 million dollars to hold this event according to some people on this site. This fight can only land in America but neither have a following that can justify the huge amount of money that it would justify HBO spending more money than any other WCB event for the year. Serg had to give away tickets to his last fight and I doubt MGM/Mirage is dying to hold the event.
