Sampson “Picasso” Lewkowicz: From Manny Pacquiao to Sergio Martinez

MA: What fights would you love to make for 2011?
I believe the most feasible one would be Miguel Cotto vs. Martinez. My wish for this year would be Floyd Mayweather first and Cotto second for Martinez.
MA: The internet has made boxing huge globally. Is it used to its fullest potential?
I believe it is the most positive way to promote boxing and is one of the reasons boxing will never die.
MA: HBO has offered some fighters “x” amount of money but the fighters ask for more so sometimes the fights don’t happen. Is that the reason some fights are not happening or is there more to it?
No, I believe there is more to it. Because the fighter never has the right at the end of the day to make his own decision, normally it’s being done by the management and the advisers. Boxers will fight everyone and most likely it is bad management or a bad advisor for the reason a fight didn’t happen.
MA: Do you feel that the UFC has taken away fans from boxing in the US?
Absolutely not! You will rarely see a boxing fan go and watch UFC…most likely it doesn’t happen. There is no technique. It’s not sweet science… its brutality.
