I don't blame him. He's earned his payday. Considering he'll get the stuffing knocked out of him he'll definitely want to maximise his earnings as this could be the last time he ever gets such an opportunity.

Algieri Wants More Money To Fight Pacquiao In China

Smart move. Algieri knows Manny is try to use him as a cherry pick and strong arm him to a disadvantage by making him fight at 147. Algieri is fully aware Manny is using him to duck real competition so Algieri not willing to sell out his career that cheaply. Get ready for Manny "P4P cherry Picker" Pacquie VS Alvarado if Algeiri falls through.

For someone 2 fights prior ...was making $15,000 a fight,...there is a slight risk for asking more. It could backfire, but I doubt it.
As long as he's asking for a reasonable amount, I think he might get it.
He should counter offer, $1,850,000... and settle anywhere between 1,625,000 to 1,750,000 if they counter again.

No one ever accepts a first offer for a job or anything they're buying or selling.
If they are opening with 1.5 he could get a bit more.
Plus I still don't believe this fight is really being negotiated. I think this is all for Marquez.

This fight will happen because its in Macau, why give Pac a top star in Macau when its proven the fight will not sell in the states, since the rios fight only did like 200k buys or something. Arum is doing this for boxing to have a presence in Macau and also because he has a deal where he gets paid the same amount of money or more if he were to do a ppv in the states. he has a good deal with the casinos there.

Clottey >>> Algieri
Clottey had no clear loss at the time and been in with tough oppositions, some being tougher than Provodnikov.

Ballsy move for the new WBO Champion. Will his calculated gamble pay off? Will Top Rank up the anti or move on? Hopefully it pays off for him. http://www.newsday.com/sports/boxing...uiao-1.8782471
