    Hey, in the end, I'm just happy he is getting a big PPV fight finally. At 37 years old...damn. :-( I hope he wins. Chavez can always bounce back. But its going to be tough fight.

    It's a shame that Bob Arum will find a way to not make this fight happen. No way he's going to feed Chavez to Sergio, Sergio will ruin him.

    Maybe. He did come up with it and was the first one to use it.
    I am sure he doesn't produce the episodes.
    HBO might pay him some money because of the 24/7 patent. Or they just bought it from him.

    Not all "Latin things" are equivalent and the base audience for an Argentine fighting in America is exponentially smaller than it is for a Mexican, Puerto Rican, or even Cuban.

    Again Ortiz and Oscar had an ethnic group they naturally appealed to plus English. Sergio's problems have been genetics and timing, which matter increasingly more as boxing has become a niche sport, and not how he's been promoted.

    Let me also ask what a big promotional company really would have been able to do for Martinez in the past 3-4 years. Top Rank would not have been any more eager to put him in with Chavez, whose money-making potential clearly trumps Martinez's in every respect (see also how they handled Gamboa and Lopez) and Golden Boy has no decent middleweights they could use to build his name up.

    been rooting for Jr in all his recent fights and becoming a big fan but gonna have to root against him here. Still rolling with my boy Sergio, sorry jr. Big fan of both guys though, would be happy with either winning as long as it ain't controversial.

    Oscar wasn't just racking in the Mexicans. Lots of blond hair American girls were swarming him and going to his fights.

    But yes, two problem for Sergio is that he doesn't know English (to well). And "timing": such a late start doesn't help. It's better to be a young good looking fighter who has time to gather an audience.

    The type of Women I'm talking about, those that come just for the athlete, don't care who you fight as long as you are doing something to work those muscles.

    The girls I know, didn't care that he didn't speak English or even how old he was...and I'm talking about girls in their early 20's.

    Same with Ortiz. The two girls I was with had no idea who he was at that fight. I told him who he was when they pointed him out. They went up to him and got a picture with him.

    "Exposure" isn't just about what you do in the ring. You can gain lots of exposure outside of it to boost your career. But it takes a good team behind you to know how to go about it.

    It's not an easy task, especially given what we mentioned as the disadvantages, but you can turn disadvantages into advantages if you know how to go about it.

    And I'm not saying he would have been "Oscar"...NO...by no means...but I do think it was possible to gain him more exposure and popularity than he currently has. How much more? I don't know.

    But hey, Lou's job seems more specific to "boxing" but I still wonder if he could have found a way to do more with building up his "product" in other ways that other athletes have been able to do. Sometimes it catches, sometimes it doesn't. So I'm not saying it was guaranteed to work.

    O', but I do think GBP do a better job than Lou does.
