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

[Russian Crushin]

Wrong, that offer is still on the table. IF and when Martinez refuses both offers, then you have a case. They are STILL negotiating at least one of the offers. Next time I charge you for the information.

WTF are you talking about, what offer?

Either way Dibella is flat out refusing to fight Pirog

Demanding an unrealistic amount of money=DUCK, no other way to put it

Learn to read ****** ****. I said Martinez calls the shots, not the unknown Pirog. He does NOT have to fight in Russia. Only IF Martinez refuses both offers does he look bad and they are still negotiating at this point.

Both offers? What are you on about? They arent negotiating. DiBella doesnt want the fight.

Great post. This is exactly what I been trying to say. I've tried using David Lemieux before, but I think Garry Russel might be a better example.

I am tryng to explain to these guys where I am coming from, but it's like they have the Wall of China in the front lobe of their brains.

I can't explain it any simpler.

Gary won't fight Martinez?

Huh?

Gary Russell is a feather weight you dope.

I meant Gamboa, you know what i meant, dont act ******

Sounds like a bunch of elaborate excuses to me.

You've already said Pirog is the most dangerous opponent. Theres not much more to it.

I'd love to see Russell vs Gamboa....

But problem again is that the Middleweight Division is a ghost town compared to Featherweight. The most intruiging fight is Sergio vs Pirog. You've said as much yourself.

This is where we differ. I don't want to see Russell vs Gamboa right now, because Russell hasn't fought anyone to deserve or to even compete with Gamboa.

As a matter of fact, Russell fought an 8 round fight last time out.

Let Russell fight some top 10 feather weight and prove that the skill he has doesn't only apply to B or C level fighters, but that it can also work against top competition.

Russell doesn't deserve to fight Gamboa.

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.

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!

Even if he is, he's less accomplished. Macklin is more deserving. Sorry, I give credit to fighters who step inside the ring and prove they belong. Mackling went to Germany and proved he belonged, even he was robbed of a decision, you can say that Macklin beat the NUMBER 2 guy at middleweight. That's more deserving that beating a prospect.

You can have all the skill in the world, but that don't mean squat until prove inside the ring.

Beating Danny Jacobs proves nothing to me.

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