Dibella has always ducked Pirog for some reason. I am not sure why, but he has.

Like I said, Sergio wants $2.5Mill for the fight, and he's charging $2.5Mill for the robbery that would take place when the fight goes 12. That's $5Mill. Fighters are now charging for robberies upfront. Only smart promoters/boxers know about this.

This is the truth right here. The people putting all that money up want a guarantee that their boys comes away with the win. If Martinez doesn't KO Pirog, he is getting shafted royally. If he does KO Pirog, he would get attacked or shot before he got out of there.

Martinez, turning typically good posters into nonsensical dumbas$es.

Don't forget guys Pirog has also offered to fight him in the US as well, the only thing with that is it would be funded by HBO, which would mean Martinez would get his normal $1.5 million he gets on HBO. So he can certainly fight Pirog in America on HBO and get his usual payday.

Of course, in DiBella's mind, why would he do that when he could get approximately $1.5 million fighting another DiBella fighter such as Macklin or Andy Lee and keep it in-house? that's the entire reason Pirog offered him a fight in Russia - a chance to make more money than fighting those guys.

Mathed - the only time i remember riots and fans aattcking people was at Bowe-Golota and Maskaev-Rahman I...yet i don't see you advising Europeans to avoid fighting in the US.

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.
