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

[richardt]

So a fight against martinez sets the stage for Pirog to become a big name if he can win and even if not, he gets his face known. Like I said - I am a big fan of his. But he needs to see the opportunity at a top PFP fighter for what it is a take it any way he can get it....simple.

Well you've just said it, Pirog is the bigger threat. Therefore its the better fight. We should want the best fights.

I shouldn't have said more dangerous, what I meant was more skilled. But just because your skilled doesn't mean you're more dangerous.

Listen, we have one fight to judge Pirog by, and that's Danny Jacobs; Pirog, fight Fernando Guerrero, fight Sturm, fight Macklin, fight Lee, and then we'll see what you're made of. Beating Danny Jacobs will not make me believe that you're the beast in the middle weight division.

I am not against Sergio fighting Pirog in the US or in Russia for that matter if the price is right. People have things all twisted on here.

All I am saying is that I believe that Pirog is an unproven fighter with great skills, but not popular enough or accompished enought for some people in this forum to exaggerate his stance in boxing.

It's not a must see fight, and it's not a fight that HAS to happen. It's simply another fight like a fight with Macklin, or Lee, or whomever.

So why's he ducking Pirog? Why not fight an unproven fighters for a nice big purse?

Who did Barker beat to get Sergio?

Didnt you hear? Macklin's loss to Sturm upgraded him to elite status

Macklin's loss, which was a robbery by the way, is more impressive than Pirog's win against any unproven prospect. Macklin fought a middle weight champ that's been a fixture in the middle weight division for almost 10 years.

Pirog beat an American prospect whom had never fought anyone.

So why'd he fight Barker then? Obviously the exposure difference there is astronomical X 10

Because Martinez calls the shots and Barker came here!!! Do you not get it???? We are NOT saying Martinez should NOT fight Pirog, we are saying Pirog can haul his butt here if he really wants the shot!

WHAT BIG PURSE?? Do you know the amount? You don't. So how do you know it's big?

Jeez some people are head headed.

Pirog has repeatedly said he will come to the US to fight Sergio....Do you not get it?????

Well he is more skilled and more dangerous. Everyone can see that.

Why does he have to fight all these people yet Barker got the fight? Every argument Ive heard people use to discredit Pirog as an opponent is flawed beyond belief.

You write, but you don't read. Stop being hard headed. This is what I posted before. It's pretty clear, if you can't understand it, I can't help you with that.
