Confirmed by a couple sources very close to Algieri that this 1.5 Million payday is just BS. Officially offer may be 1.5 but promoter guy who took more than twice Algieri's money for Provodnikov wants the majority of that 1.5 for the Pac fight. The SAME guy who is quoted in Daily News saying he will lose deal and that Chris never said it was about money is trying to rob the kid blind. The fight is at a standstill because Algieri isn't really getting paid 1.5...the promoter gets more than half. So don't hate on Algieri. Kid has balls and is sticking by his guns. Good for him. That kid sold out like 10 shows in a row at Huntington Paramount and for peanuts....now that he is getting paid this guy's wants more than the fighter? Stick yo your guns Algieri. Let the promoter lose out on his fat payday then next time he will know you can't be used and walked on. I hate hearing **** like this. The fighters take the risk not the fat cat promoters.
Algieri's mindset SHOULD be... WIN = more 7 figure paydays. Get that shot at PAC and go from there.
But I guess he doesn't see it like that.
Health comes first.
Those sources...are probably the guys in his ear right now advising him he should get more. They don't know what they're talking about. Yea, the promoter makes money off the fighter. But at least the promoter got him a big fight in Provodnikov, and potentially a fight against PAC.
These "advisors" probably want some money for themselves.
It's so simple. Ok, Algieri wants more money. Fine, make a counter offer and go from there. But it seems, like he hasn't spoken to even his promoter after a whole week. So what's the deal?
From what I was told that Daily News article that guy was lying his ass off and that of course he asked for more money. Problem is most of that 1.5 is going to the promoter and Algieri feels what he is getting to paid to travel to China to fight Pac is a bs offer and he is being made out to look like the bad guy and is willing to hold out for other fights in NY for less money. I am told he wants to unify the belts at 140 and has no problem turning this fight down because he isn't the one losing a big pay day...the promoter who was lying in Daily News article is since he is taking most of that 1.5

fvckin awesome, Don...had the BEST scallops i've ever had in my life...and i've eaten ALOT of scallops...these baked scallops we bought were perfect
Were they wrapped in bacon??
The guy wants to take over 60% of the kids purse. And then goes in Daily News to scare the kid into signing. The only one scared is the promoter. Guy gonna lose a BIG payday being greedy. If you guys were Algieri would u take the fight for that? I wouldn't. Hard fight to win moving up weight vlass in China. If you ain't getting paid then why do it. This fight won't happen I'm told.
good for the promoter...i hope he does everything he can to fvck this fight up
Glad to see your back. I was beginning to miss your wit around here.
How'd it go out there?
