....." There’s been a lot of lies about what happened with the WBC title. He gave up the title and he’s got a great relationship with the WBC. He’s the one who’s been protected by the WBC. I haven’t been protected by the WBC, I’ve been fighting the best. He wanted to make money. That’s why he’s here."
they didn't strip martinez...they made him the champion emeritus. hbo refused the zibik fight....and approved it for chavez. they took his tv date in the process. martinez could have kept his title if he chose to fight zibik off of hbo. he chose to roll with hbo.
hes evil i tell ya just pure evil lucif--s son funny thing is, he said it with a straight face, like he was serious LOL
Martinez couldnt cause i think he's under contract with hbo. I remember martinez 1 time was soo mad that he even said he thinking about not being on hbo anymore and have the emeritus champion vacated cause he feels the wbc is bs him in which at the time they were bs martinez. Now all is forgiven in which martinez has been fighting on hbo ever since he fought cintron.
Emeritus champion btw means martinez gets the first crack at the wbc belt held by chavez jr but why it took soo damn long to finally happen? Because of the wbc lik i said earlier were bs martinez and they were the one that was protecting chavez. The wbc and arum are responsible for all this bs.
Well his dad got a few gifts back in his day as WBC champ, now its Juniors turn . . . . makes you wonder though, how are they repaying these favours to Don Sulaiman?
Bull****, HBO is a TV network not a boxing promotion company, they cant deter a fighter from fighting whoever he wants, all they can do is to refuse to broadcast his fights, which is exactly what they did to Sergio And for all you who ***** because HBO refused Martinez-Zbik but was OK with Chavez-Zbik, keep in mind Chavez is a huge draw. Chavez could have fought a taco vendor picked off the street that night and still would have been a bigger draw than Sergio and generated more ratings for HBO. It was a business decission by HBO plain and simple, no need to get into conspiracy theories here.
Lol you just made my point in which hbo was the reason why the wbc stripped martinez because he couldnt fight zbik on hbo but chavez could cause as you say chavez is a big draw. Hbo messed it up and arum refuse and was scared to put chavez jr in the ring with martinez. The wbc as everybody knows is very biased to mexican fighters that are huge draws.
Lol look fighters can signed with their network lol. Why else kostya vs mayweather never happen? Whyelse lewis vs tyson had to be share by both showtime and hbo? Most fighters have done it before so its nothing new. Sh4t didnt bute signed to showtime boxing?
You dont get it, if Martinez really cared that much about the belt he could have fought Zbik out of HBO, Zbik was the mandatory, he KNEW they were going to strip him if he didn't defend against him, and he STILL prefered to fight Dzinziruk for a bigger payday and to please his HBO masters, so Chavez ain't lying when he says Martinez gave up the title for money The only way the WBC has screwed Sergio so far, is by not giving him the title shot at Chavez earlier, since that trinket ¨emeritus diamond¨ belt he won against Dzinziruk supposedly gives him a direct shot at the title, but that's it. TV networks sign fighters for tv related stuff and that's it, they can ban a fighter from appearing on their tv channels, or another company's tv channels, but they cant prevent a fighter from fighting an opponent of his choice. They can ¨suggest¨ opponents, but the fighter has the last word. Ofc, from a business p.o.v, going against his TV network is one of the worst things a boxer or any type of athlete or entertainer can do, so very few would dare to do it.
