Comments Thread For: Felix Strum Back on April 13, Geale or Pirog Next?

Pirog will likely face Maxim Bursak in Russia.

Sturm isn't leaving Germany, Pirog isn't leaving Russia.

lets forget about what they say and focus on what they do. Sturm sells out areas in Germany and Pirog does the same in Russia. they are both big draws and neither will risk losing that.

Sturm will fire shots at Pirog but he's never leaving Germany.

both guys fights can fight taxi drivers to sell out crowds, why would either risk that?

Bursak is a mandatory, Pirog has an optional.

Sturm wouldn't have to leave Germany for any of these fights anyway, he's the money man. But I think his interest in Pirog is a ruse, as soon as I heard he was gonna have to fight GG, I guessed he was gonna try to unify with Geale.

I was thinking the same about Sturm. not hating on Geale but Pirog and Golovkin seem a bit more difficult.

if Sturm waits long enough Golovkin will have to face N'Jikam sooner or later. the WBO was supposed to have ordered it 6 months ago but I don't know what happened.

N'Jikam has promotional issues, he's not really in play. GG signing with K2 might have nudged the WBA to order GG Sturm.

Geale has shown he'll travel, and it's by far the best payday available to him. And a very winnable fight. His Adama fight in Tasmania is now apparently delisted from boxrec, now it says TBA.

he won both fights for me and macklin priced himself out a rematch that why he fought murray

strum vs pirog would be a good fight,make it happen

macklin has been promised martinez thats why he priced himself out a rematch

True dat.

Macklin opted to try for a shot at Sergio. A shame. Their fight was a war.

Even though I Think Pirog id overrated on NSB and Sturm perhaps a tad underrated I must say that Sturm appears to have lost a step.

macklin didn't want the rematch

You guys are wrong. Sturm was asking for 40% of Macklin's future earnings. It was a bullshit deal.

"The terms they spoke about were a joke, they were only willing to pay me a marginally bigger purse then for the first but the options they wanted on my future fights were ridiculous. When I beat Felix in the rematch, they wanted 40% of my earnings over the next two years. It was crazy stuff and to me it just looked like felix only wanted the rematch if he could use it as a "cash out" fight to see him into retirement and then use me as his pension fund for the next couple of years."

****. I forgot that part. Sturm Said he made a substantially larger offer than what Mac got for their first fight.

I don't know if both Sturm and Mac can be right and if both arent right who is lying?

[ShoulderRoll]

There is no way that Sturm will fight either Pirog or Golovkin. Geale is most likely his next opponent.
