Comments Thread For: Berchelt Offered Cruz, Martinez-Lomachenko Questions Remain

[SilverMiles]

It's an insult and Berchelt doesn't see it. They offered him Orlando, like that's all he can handle. It's as if they're asking him to travel for a soft touch. I can see the headlines. Martinez wouldn't go to Mexico for Berchelt, but Berchelt wouldn't go to NY for Orlando. Which is worse?

Lmao, it's pretty funny since you put it that way. I really see no point in him fighting Cruz, no one would even know his name had he not come out the closet.

Martinez is afraid of Berchelt, period. He is scared of Mexicans.

It's an insult and a trap. Berchelt can fix it all by taking that NY date, just get him somebody ranked a little higher than Orlando. Otherwise it's a duck and what a duck.

Why would Berchelt want to fight Orlando Cruz who has two losses in his last five fights? That does absolutely nothing for his career.

He is owed the title shot against Martinez and should accept nothing less.

So rather than pay Walters they're paying Martinez and Berchelt. Another one of Bob's tricks.

Given that the offer hasn't really trickled down to him yet, it sounds like nobody on his team (at Zanfer or Max Boxing [The Mexico company, not the declining website]) is interested in anything other than getting his promised title shot.

Martinez-Lomachenko will likely have to move forward as a non-title fight. Regardless of what transpires - whether Martinez forced to vacate or TR has to pay for step-aside and Berchelt-Cruz - it's still a more budget-appropriate option than what Walters was demanding.

Not sure getting a Boricua beat on the eve of PR Day Parade is the smartest business move - but that's on Martinez/PRBBP, not Top Rank.

This whole situation has been a big mess. Top Rank really didn't think this out.
Loma better not vacate his Featherweight belt. The Martinez fight is almost pointless without a belt.
I don't like how Top Rank is handling his career. They're only giving him two fights per year and are just making Loma look bad in my opinion.

they priced lomo out and wanted to gain more of the white racist fans..and made me as a black fan of lomo less of a fan. now i want to see him ko'd...

it was pricing himself out by way of strategy and a bit of racism to go with it, bc they pooped on walters.
