Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. vs Martinez Purse Bid Set By The WBC For 1/6

[Hitman932]

Why is Dibella forcing this fight now?
When they both have scheduled bouts on HBO that could serve as a lead up to a summer clash when TR will prob use the excuse they already have a signed contract and just vacate then what?
Fight Rubio for less $ than Jr could bring

It's a matter of principle. The belt belongs to Martinez.

Sulaiman made a promise and if DiBella steps aside now there is no guarantee he gets the Chavez fight down the road.

Sulaiman promised Martinez his shot, to get the belt back he should have never lost. This fight isn't going to get any bigger because either man beat up a couple tomato cans.

But not business sense what happens when Jr vacates?
Who can bring the same revenue unfortunate for Serg he doesn't have the financial leavrage anyway if it's a can for Jr then it's a can for Serg at least if Rubio beats Jr he'll have that feather in his cap making the fight more lucrative.

Unless Dibella knows for sure he'll make the fight but to try to force TR when they'll prob NOW demand all aspects be to their approval seems to be a gamble.

Oh well good for Martinez I suppose. Either he fights JCC Jr yet again another mismatch coming off the Barker fight. Or he gets the title and fights Macklin in March.

Good for Martinez. No way Chavez or his people take this fight.

BoxingScene.com has been advised that the World Boxing Council have scheduled a mandatory purse bid for the middleweight fight between WBC champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and the Diamond champion Sergio Martinez. The WBC issued letters informing all of the required parties to appear at their headquarters in Mexico on January 6th. Last Thursday, the WBC ordered Chavez to defend his title against Martinez. Chavez is scheduled to return on February 4th, likely against Marco Antonio Rubio, while Martinez has a return date of March 17th.

if jr vacates they grab their belt back and go on to face macklin or whatever mando sulaiman might set up for them or the best fight available at the time. you really think arum will put chavez in with martinez? i still have my doubts about him facing rubio. if chavez beats rubio, i can almost guarantee they won't face martinez afterwards, they'll take a light fight. after that they can go back to looking at cotto or alvarez. if rubio beats chavez, then they can go after rubio.

Chavez Jr prob vacates then fights Pavlik for a 168 lb belt once Ward is made Super champion.

Don't gives these cunts any bright ideas they might be trolling the forum right now.

Martinez Vs Macklin for the WBC MW title in march

Yes it does. The belts=$$$ when it comes to fighters that aren't huge draws in boxing, particularly dangerous ones. Sergio is no longer getting big fights in boxing because he keeps beating people, and promoters don't want to sacrifice their fighters that sell. However, if he has the belts, then a fighter that wants to be world champion HAS to fight him. (in theory)

Martinez is making decent money as it is, and his money and chance of landing better fights goes up once Chavez hands him his belt back. Arum won't let Chavez near him, but if he has the title and keeps winning, we may see Martinez versus Jermaine Taylor, Arthur Abraham ect.
