Comments Thread For: Team Pirog Not Happy With N'Jikam-Bursak WBO Clash

[UglyPug]

These might be the two best MW's - N'jikam and Pirog. . I'd pick both of them over Martinez. .

Lets not forget Pirog offered Martinez upwards of 2 million dollars to fight him; he DECLINED. . .

Martinez thinks he is some kind of "draw"? I hope he goes to 154 if he won't fight guys like Pirog and Golovkin.

That's their job. They aren't supposed to sit back n expect ppl to wait on them. That's simply ******. Secure a fight for when he'll be ready to fight. I mean its not rocket science. Ur fighter pulls outta a fight, try ur best to make sure he has a fight lined up for when he's able to fight. I guess that's meaningless rite? So its everyone else's fault Pirog is wasting his career. Not his or his team rite? Been that way since Jacobs.

You have really no clue of what went on, you're just eager to blame Pirog and his team.

Seems like a ****** move by the WBO, and I feel for Pirog, but to be honest I'd rather these two guys fight each other and the winner face Pirog, rather than have him face both of them.

Of course, I expect the winner of the fight to decide to hang on to their interim belt for as long as possible to milk as much as they can from it rather than facing the real champion. Maybe I'm being unfair to Bursak there as I don't know much about him, but that's certainly what N'Jikam did in the past.

I have no clue? Pirogs team just described wat happened. I'm guessing u can't read, mebbe? Pirog got injured, N'jikam Moved on and his opponent is Bursak another possible Pirog opponent. Wats there to know? That they didn't wait for him. No ****. Why should they? The point is what has Pirog done since the Jacobs fight? But yea ibdunno wats going on, buy none of that's Pirog and his teams fault. That's everyrone else's fault

Pirog needs to get it together and tell his promotors to get him the big money fights.

Would you have gone to Russia to fight him if you had the title? Why doesn't Pirog fight Golovkin?

Martinez is fighting on HBO.....yet again, even after he publicly dissed them and told the WBC to take their 2 dollar belt back. It appears as if Pirog can't even buy his way back on HBO, much less be invited to headline.

Martinez is going back to 154 in hopes of landing a fight with Floyd so he can make 10 million headlining a PPV instead of just a regular HBO event like he does several times a year.

Dmitry could have done so much after defeating Jacobs. Yet nothing has come of it. Disappointing to see. I hope he can fight the winner before 2012 is over.

He's not complaining they're fighting, it's about the interim belt. I agree with you insofar that his own belt is not all that legitimate, so who gives a ***** if they order an interim one, standard sanctioning body money grab. He does have a point insofar that:

1. his mandatory defense is not due
2. him passing on the date with N'Jikam should have no bearing on this, since HNN is not even his mandatory

What I find interesting is this whole Equatorial Guinea business. Where did that come from, why not France or even Cameroon? The whole country is 600k, and they expect 20k at the stadium to see a couple of foreigners?

Pirog pulled out of the N'Jikam fight, so I don't know why they're b*tching. Pirog-Bursak was in talks but Bursak decided to stop f**king around and went for N'Jikam, oh well. Pirog can just fight the winner then.

Exactly.

If Pirog can't get his act together then other fighters can't be expected to wait on him.

His team has done a horrible job of managing his career, by the way. The win against Daniel Jacobs happened in 2010 and here we are in 2012 with him not having done much of anything since then.
