    Yeah HBO's so desperate to "manufacture" Martinez into a start that they took his summer date and handed it to the guy he knocked out :nut

    I love that all the posters here with a clear agenda are happy to lap up the dubious information provided by an heretofore obscure Russian promoter.

    The bulk of the evidence points to the offer not being advantageous for Martinez, and generally speaking the challenger has no business demanding the champ fight on his terms. There are market exceptions (Hatton/Tszyu, Pascal/Dawson, etc), but Martinez already is locked into a good deal and continues to build his name in partnership with HBO.

    He has every right to hold out for a Mayweather fight, and if that doesn't materialize perhaps Pirog will get the bout. But it will be on Martinez's terms, not Pirog's.

    Unless the money is too much to turn down i dont see martinez taking this fight. He's not going to russia to fight pirog where he'll have to kill him to be able to win. Pirog fans and martinez haters will scream that he's scared if he doesnt take it but i wouldnt blame him is he doesnt want to go to the other guys home turf to fight him.

    :hat

    Sergio Martinez has been made a lucrative offer to fight Pirog in Feb 2012 sounds reasonable enough . . . in Moscow Russia :patsch

    I have a suspicion that Pirogs management will insist on the fight being in Russia for a Points robbery (lets face it, its not the first time sergios been screwed)

    Hopefully the fight will be made in the US on HBO, that way nobody can ***** about the money

    Your point being??? corruption in Boxing is worse out of the USA.:deal

    Look at BUTE

    Look at TOM DALLAS from the UK? Just got beat up by a man named Zack Page and they still gave him the win in the UK because he is suppose to be some new HW they are pumping up out of the UK!

    Robberies happen everywhere, not sure what Russian officiating is like but judging that Pirog is russian, His management is russian, the fight would be in russia and of course the whole IN SOVIET RUSSIA thing where everythings backwards is why I dont want this fight in the "Mother land".

    The UK didnt use to stop fights early before the Eubank Watson / Benn Mcclellan fight but do nowadays either out of fear of a repeat or using that as an excuse, I cant remember the last points robbery in the UK in a big fight for quite some time.

    German is the leader board for robberies but even though the US is made up of several different athletic commissions You still get terrible robberies there,

    Sadly where the fight is held nowadays creates controversy, if you want a good bout then you would care if the fight would be possibly tainted wouldnt you?

    Martinez could beat the whole top 10 in MW! Martinez did get lucky to fight a Kelly Pavlik who spent 2 weeks in rehab during a 8 week week training camp and had 2 cut 20lbs the week of fight!:smoke
