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

[KickAzz]

How you know Dibella is protecting Martinez from Pirog: Dibella priced Martinez out with an unrealistic counter offer of $5 million.

Let's be realistic, I don't even know if Cotto will get around $5 million to fight Margarito who is probably getting less than that and these guys actually have fan bases.

How the **** does Martinez demand that kind of money? It's pure bull*****.

A more reasonable counteroffer would be to offer a fight in the US with Martinez getting a bigger purse than he got for barker but not $5 million.

If Martinez fights Douchbella's Macklin or Lee, you can consider this an official duckage of Pirog.

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.

Because your telling me that the only country in the world that has honest officiating and will have no biased towards their hometown fighter in Pirog is Russia. I find that very hard to believe since is happens every where in the world. These Russians must be the most honest and noblest people in the galaxy.

Please, use some common sense. The Russians will be no diffirent than the rest of the world when it come to hometown bias.

Thoise guys you just mentioned did no fight in Russia for titles. Valuev fought in Russia, but not as champ. He, like most Russian champs, fought in Germany.,

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

Do you know how many Russian billionares there are?

ALOT.

And trust me, these guys love sports. The Russian soccer league, which was non existent 10 years ago, recently made the most expensive soccer trade in history for Samuel Eto.

These Russians have money, and they don't mind spending it if they are interested.

I never said that, and yes Makaev and Pirog fought in Russia as World champs.

But, then to your point like I said, No one should be called World champs then if they're not willing to travel. Just be called domestic champs.

And, please use common sense.

Sergio Martinez is not Mayweather or Pacquiao or even Samuel Eto'o or Roberto Carlos. I dont think any billionaires would bother to contribute to bringing him to Russia.

Like I said, its not realistic.

Pirog is willing to travel, but Team Martinez don't wanna fight Pirog in any country, including the USA.

Martinez doesnt fight Pirog, because he basically stole his title! That's why...
You say Pirog is the champion, and i say as Dibella, **** Pirog! at least he has to beat someone to get a shot at Martinez...
That's whats wrong in boxing... a true champion gets stripped by a corrupt organization... then everybody says the champion is ducking this new guy who stole the title... i have no doubts that if Pirog hadnt stole sergios title... they would do the fight easily... like Barker. The problem here is that Sergio refuses to accept the steal of his titles... and i support him on that.
Pirog has to earn a shot beating top fighters... Sergio did aaaall the hard work through the years, and now a guy who offers some money but didnt beat anyone gets a shot? this is not a money problem... its pride, and thats perfectly fine to me.

[richardt]

I'll give the mentally lame or uninformed a clue. Here is an article from the past: "To avoid Shane Mosley, Mayweather priced himself out by demanding a guaranteed $20 million". Fact: Mayweather fought Mosley. Untill ALL negotiations have ended, Martinez has not ducked Pirog.

Pirog is willing to travel, but Team Martinez don't wanna fight Pirog in any country, including the USA.

I don't know why that's getting ignored.

You're telling me to call all champs who don't want to venture out of their countries as Domestic Champs?

And I need to use common sense?

Wow, you mentioned 2 fighters who have had 2 championship fights in Russia. That's a long history. El Salvador probably has had more championship fights.

And Sergio Martinez has fought overseas. England, Spain, Argentina, and the US.

And by your definition I guess Roy Jones was a domestic champ because when he was was champ he never left the country.
