Perfect solution for Martinez & Dmitry Pirog

[ИATAS]

March 17th (st. paddy's day). Live on HBO.

Main event: Sergio Martinez vs Macklin
Co-event: Dmitry Pirog vs Andy Lee

Being that three of the four fighters are dibella fighters, this can easily be done. Two Irish boxers will sell tickets on that date.

It also builds a future fight between Martinez vs Pirog, assuming they both win.

Martinez can get his $1.3-$1.5 million and Pirog gets another HBO oppurtinity to shine and get more exposure.

What do you think?

I would of loved a prime Pavlik-Pirog matchup...

Probably just too expensive, I would love to see it though.

Sergio will want 1.5 mill. Macklin what....500k? Priog, who knows to come over here, but lets just say he wants another 500k. Lee will want at least 350.

That's almost a 3 million dollar card....if those numbers are right(and they're really complete guesses), this is actually possible. HBO has proven they're willing to invest in Martinez and investing in the Middleweight division is investing in Martinez.

just face facts: martinez and dibella don't want to fight pirog.

Pirog fought jacob's for 30k in a title fight. If he was promised an oppurtinity to fight the winner (martinez) he'd fight for a lesser paycheck no doubt about it.

But even if we go by your number a $3 million dollar card isn't that bad. I'd say bring it down to $2.0 - $2.5 or so and it's very realistic.

That would be the worst day for Irish people as both Irish fighters on the card would lose.

I really don't wanna see Macklin fight Sergio. macklin is awful.

Yea Pirog thinks he's worth astronomically more now. He will demand a lot coming from Russia now as a champ but still...

You're right my numbers are probably inflated...and that's STILL like a 2.7 million dollar card, which is entirely reasonable.

This card is entirely financially feasible. It should happen 100%.
