    Why does a small 37 year old middleweight who has never had a huge payday want a huge money fight with guys who have fought in the next division down, at his best weight? **** I don't know. That **** just makes no sense.

    It's insane!! :lol::rofl


    It's kinda like if Floyd went back down to his weight class (147) to fight Pacquiao.. But no one wants to see that fight!

    surely the $$$ comes with the legacy you build would it not make more sense to fight arthur abraham ( a clear win) then fight mayweather at 154 or catch weight of 156-7
    or afta AA fight ward and if win mega fight with may after. surely a big money fight can make more money if he establishes himself as a true elite first? buisness sense and legacy all in 1

    and your point is...?

    HBO didn't want Sergio to fight his mandatory Zbik, they wanted him to fight Dzinziruk instead.

    Sergio did what HBO asked, he prefered to fight Dzinziruk for a tv payday, FULLY AWARE that he was going to get stripped, because that's what happens when you avoid a mandatory

    He prefered more money and to please his HBO masters over his belt, so **** your ¨he was unfairly stripped¨ BS



    Stop being a moronic dickrider

    Martinez is all about the money, he has no pride and no honor. He never tried to unify belts with the other MW champions, he's only chasing the big money fights with smaller guys or inexperienced guys like Jr, he wanted Chavez because he thought it was an easy, big money fight, and that's it. (ofc, you ******s will keep claiming that he wanted him because of his ¨unfairly robbed belt¨). Martinez doesn't want to fight the best of his division, that's why he rejected Pirog's offers, that's why he's showed 0 interest in GGG.

    But ofc you ppl will keep dickriding him because you hate Chavez Jr and that's it.

    Ward likely beats him and doesn't bring anywhere close to the type of money to the table that Mayweather does, so yeah, it would be stupid.

    cuz theres no money in those fights and he knows Ward would school him

    Boxing is about making money with the least amount of risk possible

    Yeah, not everyone can be like..Abner Mares for example, taking risky fights with not much money involved because they want to fight the best, those kind of guys are a rarity. Mares is a real warrior, Martinez is just another mercenary

    no its financially less plausable not stupid
    and the thing is. floyd would more than likely fight sergio after he lost a valiant effort against ward then not fight him n jkeep winning agains fringe level competitors. i dnt see mayweather going for sergio netime soon. however i think its viable from floyds perspective to think this guy jus lost to ward whos ranked as next big thing. his aura of invincability is gone il do a number on him myself more so than lets fight the number 3 p4p middleweight who hasnt fought neone remotly on my level

    He just chased a 180lber. The reason he chasing Floyd and Manny because they both fought at 154. It's funny how both their teams showed interest before Sergio ktfo Williams now they act like they don't know him or he's too big. :rofl:rofl:rofl Duran, Hearns, or Leonard would of faced Sergio right away Floyd and Manny are both pussies when it comes to Sergio. Margarito just as big as Sergio maybe bigger, but yea sure give him a shot to fight Manny. :lol: stupid *******s stop crying:|
