Paul "The Punisher" Povetkin offered World MW title shot and $1.5M, but still says no

Povetkin?

 

Because of the Povetkin and Wladimir fiasco, I'd say.

 

Martinez took away his balls and he hasnt been the same since thats why right after the fight he started talking about going back down to welter and never seemed interested in a rematch with Sergio.we will probably see a Sergio-Cotto fight sooner than a Sergio-williams rematch.

 

this guy needs to get his finger out of his arse quick and fight, Pavlik fight didn't happen either, for whatever reason, some say Pavlik didn't fancy it, he'll most likely face Rubio or something or Mundine or Foreman etc.

 

the question is, how much would Martinez be getting? 1.5M seems low for this fight. Don't forget PW already hold a win over Martinez.

 

No, I think he changed his name. Everyone wants a Russian name now. (It's called the Sugar Effect).

 

i think they do want the fight but want against two or three other opponents first they may have seen the cintron fight and realised that he aint as good as before

then again pw should just stick in one division and build a legacy for himself but he is wasting time by weight hopping every 6 months.

Completely agree. He needs to establish himself in ONE weight class, this up and down bull****, (even if it was done out of necessity) he is wasting his time and getting him nowhere.

Forget middleweight, go to 154 stay there and be the man at 154

 

What an arsehole.

 

dont forget , hmm did you watch that fight dude , the man who landed the cleaner effective shots was marginally robbed , martinez won that fight
the only thing williams holds is a gift decision

 

I for one am want see the rematch. I don't think Paul is scared he already proved to me that fear is not in his pedigree. But I think his handlers are following the bull**** trend of hyping the fighter to believe that money is more important than quality fights and wins. Paul is simply drinking the kool aid.

 

argh! that avatar looks disgusting. please remove floyd's face in there and it will be alright

 

Martinez is the champ beating Pavlik on HBO therefore he rightfully deserves 50-50. Williams is no champ and has no particular following that would grant him more than 50% anyways.

HBO should tell Williams that he will sit on the sidelines as long as he doesn't face the guys they are willing to dish out money for. That's the only way to make promoters and fighters get realistic again...

If 1.5 million ain't enough...then he can go fight in a non televised half filled arena making around $100 000..

 

After just watching the fight again recently ... did anyone really think Paul won the fight vs Sergio ?
I suppose it was close enough that i can't cry robbery but to me Sergio won it pretty clearly.
