Comments Thread For: Pirog Waits for the Champs, Considers Possible Retirement

Pirog was blacklisted by HBO because of Al Hayman. While it may not be fair to Pirog, Barker was the only guy that Martinez could fight at the time.

You know that makes no sense right? Just because Gabe says it doesn't make it accurate. Why was he black listed by Haymon?

They got the fight because they were less risky.

Just be honest with yourself.

Tell me, who else at middleweight could he have fought? Like I said, Pirog was not an option even if Martinez wanted it. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=528759

if im not mistaken he fought emmanuel augustus on that ****ty ass ko nation, which, imo, is worse than espn.

Wow....did you seriously just compare that to Pirog?

Mayweather turned down a $12.5m contract from HBO prior to that.

As you would say.... "smh"

But he didnt want it. Or at least DiBella didnt and still doesnt and probably never will.

Stop with the excuses please.

You think Gabriel Montoya is lying? He's a pretty reliable insider so I have no reason not to believe him. He's actually a pretty big Pirog fan so it's not like he would just make that **** up.

didnt compare it to pirog. but u obviously dont know the story. he turned down the contract, yes. and because of it he got put on a ****ty program with no support and no ratings. and this was a p4p boxer mind u. hbo made him earn his keep and earn his corralles fight.

He blamed Al Haymon...For what exactly? Is Martinez an Haymon fighter? Is Piror? That's no facts behind blaming Haymon. And, it makes zero sense to blame Haymon. Like I said just cuz' Gabe said it doesn't make it accurate. And, we should know how folks from Maxboxing feel about Haymon. From Gabe to Kim. Yea fight doesn't happen here, a fight doesn't happen their lets blame the black man with the influence who has nothing to do with the situation.
