You believe the world ends at the USA borders.

You're wrong, something exists outside those borders.

And thankfully for my military upbringing and subsequent service myself, I've step foot in 14 different countries. Please pull the eastern European boxer **** out of you mouth now please

Russia hasn't been communist for over 20 years now.

And people still think that Martinez is ducking Pirog? I like Pirog, he gave a good fight against Jacobs but the reality here is that he's happy fighting in Russia getting over 1 million per fight while fighting bad opposition. I hope he tries to get good fights in USA or even in central europe, but I don't think he'll get out of Russia.

I'd be wary of those numbers. He probably makes decent money, but nothing like that. My guess was that was a projection for how much he'd be making for the proposed Martinez fight, which would be an event over there.

It's clear by now that the only network willing to feature Pirog is ESPN. All these guys you mention have top promoters and are able to get better gigs than FNF, to various degrees. Why isn't anyone making Pirog an offer for one of their HBO/SHO slots, it's a title shot? The only thing that surfaced was a proposal for Manfredo on FNF, and even that was no more than a rumor, Chavez's people were after Manfredo then.

i hear you HB i think his first fight in the states was a undercard HBO fight, i think a pirog quillen fight def makes HBO or Showtime, the same with vanes and lara. if i was pirog i wouldnt fight on FNF but i think if he steps his comp up he gets a network date. not sure who is offering him fights but if he's willing to come to the states for the right name theres no question he gets a date, i want to see more of him

I think the best comments here refer to Banner Promotions doing a job that doesn't much help Pirog to get exposure in the US. Childish posts like Pirog is happy to defend his title in Russia rather seem to express their upset feelings why Pirog won't show up on American soil again. I'm also disappointed the unification between Pirog vs Gaele never materialized, but to blame the fighter shows pure understanding of the business. TV stations and weak promoters spoiled the show.
