Comments Thread For: Team Pirog: DiBella Wants $5 Million For Martinez Bout

[UglyPug]

Antontio Margarito (POPPA TONY) is one disappointed daddy right about now. . . he says when he knocked his ass out, and left him slumped up in a helpless heap like a little bytch against the ropes, he taught him his lesson! haha seriously what a COWARD! And this is the supposed PEOPLE'S CHAMP?! I SMELL *****, is that you serg? I SMELL *****, is that you gabe? (serg's trainer) I SMELL *****, is that you lou?

Arent negotiating???? Are people that ******!!!!DeBella threw a price out there - that is called negotiating! WAIT to see what happens in the next phase and then cry all you want if Martinez turns all offers down and then HE will look bad. If Martinez turns down everything then hell yes, everyone should complain. Not there yet!

You're not this naive, are you? DiBella threw an unrealistic price out there. Its called "pricing yourself out". Not negotiating.

And there has been no offer to fight in the US. DiBella has no interest in making the fight right now.

It's not like he's going to a country that has a history of questionable decisions like Germany. I don't know any questionable decisions coming from Russia.

And, wasn't he willing to go to Germany for Sturm? I might be highly mistaken though. I might be wrong in that one.

Anyways, if a fighter can't/won't/refuse to travel. Then lets not call anyone world champions anymore. Lets call them domestic champions...That's all they're now. There was a time in boxing where a World champion would fight all over the World...Now they just want to be domestic. So no need to call them world champions any longer.

And, what sucks is that Pirog is also willing to fight him in the U.S. When Pirog called him out for a U.S fight. Team Martinez said "fuck Pirog." So no matter where the fight is. Pirog has no chance in getting in the ring with Martinez. That's all there is to it.

Your logic makes no sense. Can you name me one championship fight that has occured in Russia? How can you get an example of something if it doesn't exist.

As far as countries who have given hometown decision...

Lets start counting. US, England, P.R., Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Australia, Japan, Spain, South Africa, Colombia, Nicaragua, hold on I am getting tired.

Pretty much every country that has hosted a championship has had many hometown decisions.

No, throwing an unrealistic price out there is called DUCKING:wank:

Business 101!! Throwing an unrealistic price means looking to see what the counter offer is. Now I will start charging you.

For 4-5 million Sergio will pack his bags and fight Pirog in Russia. Dibella is looking out for his fighter.

What do you expect Dibella to say. "Yeah, Sergio, you're going to get paid a couple a hundred grand more to fight in Russia. You'll probably have to knock the guy out because you won't win a decision. It's a great deal."



Dibella is doing the right thing by his figher.

But again, they can do the fight in America and forget about all that. But DiBella doesnt want to do that either.

Exactly there is no history so why even worried about it? What is your argument exactly?

yes championship fights in Russia does exist...Pirog, Maskaev, Vauev, have had title fights in Russia.

You're probably right. Dibella would probably want Macklin or Lee on the east coast. But if these Russians can come up with 4-5 million, Sergio and his team are on a plane.

And it's really a good deal, for 4-5 million Sergio gets paid, and for that amount of money Pirog and his people will have home country advantage that will benefit Pirog if it goes to a decision.

Everyone would be happy with this deal. But for 2 1/2 million, Sergio will not fight in Russia. And that's porbably a good mvoe for him.

DiBella was quoted as 5 or 6 million. Its simply not feasible and DiBella knows it.
