Lou DiBella on Sergio vs Golovkin: 'A fight that economically makes no sense'

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Pirog isn't even healed yet.

Not to mention why the hell would he fight Golovkin coming off of surgery. Don't act like you'd do it. Martinez needs a tune up type fight off of surgery before a unification bout

How many tune-up type fights is he gonna take? First Barker, then Macklin, now Murray? Chavez Jr wasn't even a good opponent really if we look at it from ability perspective.

If Mayweather or Pacquaio fought the calibre of opponents that Sergio has been fighting recently, they'd get crucified.

That old chesnut

No one gives a fuk about Martin Murray here and most people actually thought he lost to Sturm.

Its irrelevant anyone. I dont get why having a close fight with Sturm is now the criteria for any fighter to get a shot at the MW title. First it was Macklin, now Murray.

I don't even care that much about Golovkin. But he's just one of many opponents that are better than Martin Murray

Sky Sports is gonna hype the shit out of this fight and you know it. Didn't they do a countdown or some shit like that for Proksa/Hope 2? They hype every semi-decent fighter who gets close to a world title. And they will pay big bucks to broadcast this fight. I'm not saying Martinez would make more money against Murray than he would against GGG but I think it's close, and Murray is a lot less dangerous so of course Dibella is gonna choose him.

this is a bull**** fight.

Geale, Golovkin, and Quillin are the top guys and he comes with another Darren Barker and Macklin type cherry pick.

Macklin and Jr were top middleweights. Sergio is still fighting better opposition than the other so called top middles. Pirog and Golovkin still have to fight as well, since their fight fell through.

Top middleweights? Top what? 5? 10? Whatever they are, they weren't the best. Right now the best opponents are Golovkin, Pirog, Quillin, even Geale - all are better than Martin Murray. Its a horrendous fight.

[Daddy T]

its simple really and ye all know it.

Murray = low risk, low reward
GGG = bat**** crazy high risk, low reward

who would you chose if you were martinez?

[-DSG-]

Golovkin is the definition of high risk low reward. Sergio and dibella surely don't want to fight golovkin yet.

[daggum]

you guys are forgetting that martin murray has a tough test against the undefeated jorge navarro next. if he passes that test he truly deserves a shot against martinez.

Dibella is taking a page out of the ducking and dodging playbook

If Martinez can get a fight with Mayweather, Cotto or Canelo than that is a fight with a nice payday and he should do it now cuz he doesn't know when his career is gonna end

If he can't and he choses Murray or some other bum over GGG than hes flat out ducking and dodging. I know Max Kellerman wants that fight to happen but HBO has put alot of money into him. If HBO can "make" Martinez flat out duck Pirog and Zbik than they can "make" the GGG fight happen

Theres no way Martinez should be in the P4P top 3 when Donaire and Ward have fought better competition and have won in more impressive fashion

What top middle has Golovkin beat?

Jr was the #1 contender and Macklin was a top contender. Do you really not know this stuff?
