The double standard is just STUPID, that's all i'm going to say.

fight should be on cbs for free
Come on bro. It's Manny Pacquiao. He could be fighting you behind a f**king Walmart and it would still be on HBO.

It's actually a somewhat fascinating fight.
Pac has trouble with pure boxers. And Algieri falls along those lines. Algieri, as mentioned, is also longer and has reach. And while Manny is still a pound for pound guy at the moment, he's obviously a totally different guy than the killer we knew previously.
But...it's still Algieri. He has zero name power. Less than Rios even.
Fight should be on regular HBO subscription. I think everyone is in agreement on that aspect.

I'm only interested in seeing how Pacquiao attacks Algieri.
Algieri definitely isn't going toe-to-toe and I expect him to try and box circles around Pacquiao. So I want to see how Pacquiao breaks down this target.
