Comments Thread For: Lewkowicz: Sergio Martinez Open To WBC, HBO Return

[onechance87]

read the actual article and not just the title. all his promoter says is they're open to being to back where they were if they hold their end of the deal (wbc give martinez the mando fight or belt) and i'm not sure with hbo, perhaps better advertising or something. i was looking forward to him being on showtime tbh, just to see how things would go. hopefully it still is.

I did read it carnal.Seems like showtime arent gonna overypay martinez
like hbo has.Just last week martinez said he was never gonna fight for the
wbc again and threw hbo under the bus.They should get off chavez jr little
nuts and fight sum good comp.

2 much behind the scenes from HBO not knowing how much they're really robbing from Sergio, compared to what they say in public, far more than Jr I'd guess....quite logical to say after both fight then go @ each other, but I'm surprised if it happens in 2012...Jr is such a prick w/Arum, but worse no 1 in boxing is as protected as he, if there is someone, tell me who...

Martinez is right for dropping the crooked WBC. He should try to capture the IBF title. As of late, they've been more credible, fair and honest than the other organizations. And you have to admire his courage for standing up to HBO. He should go over to showtime and fight the best in his division and put on some great performances while still makng it a point to cast aspersions on Jr. for being a fraud of a champion.

IBF ? They stripped Petterson for fighting Bradley and to give Judah the title fight, that is how Judah became champ again
And now Berto for fighting Ortiz
Since Berto and Bailey have same promoter we are not getting the drama

HBO paid Sergio 1.5M to fight Barker with 25 to 1 odds lol, who else is going to pay him that? HBO pays fighters with higher rating less than that

What, the IBF stripped Peterson? Really? When did this take place? Your facts are wrong. Prior to Peterson vs Khan, Peterson never held a world title.

It was Alexander who got stripped for trying unify against Bradley, Clottey got stripped from trying to unify against Cotto, Margarito got stripped for trying to unify against Cotto, Tapia got stripped for trying to unify against Barrera. All were stripped by the IBF.

For some reason they do not like unification fights...

And, what did Martinez stand against HBO for? What was HBO doing wrong with him?
