Comments Thread For: Chris Algieri Will Return on Summer Triller Fight Club PPV Card

[Combat Talk Radio]

Wtf. I thought he was done.

I guess with 50 year olds & YouTubers headlining PPV's these days a mid 30's dude is feeling great about his chances of cashing out so fook it keep fighting.

It's not like he's coming off a loss.

I want to see Broner vs. Algieri.

Can't wait for the next Algeria fight...Not

i still can't believe Holyfield got a license to fight at almost 60 years old.

Thriller came in with a **** but will be soon going out with a wimper....nobody is going to keep paying 50 bucks a month to watch youtubers, 57 yr old fighters and mayweather's old arse!

Handsome and talentless, he'll fit right in!

I wish they didn't want to, but with how bs state commissions are its not surprising to me they can get a license.

It'd be cool if being a professional boxer had more of a quality control angle to it like saying you are a NFL player & it coming across immediately as you are 1 of the best 1,700 football players in the world today. Saying you are a professional boxer just means you are one of 20,000 to 30,000 guys in the world who didn't fall off the treadmill when they were giving you your physical & you are cool getting hit in the head. It says absolutely nothing about your skill level & thats a shame.

Randomly I think Albert Hughes (70 at the time) is the oldest guy to ever have a pro fight. I fully expect we see that record broken in our current era.

After that Paul/Askren card I don't think I'll be buying a PPV from Triller ever again. And I buy the $70 local cards for David Lemiuex.

The Tyson vs Jones card was a clownshow. But it left fans with enough goodwill for the next one. I figured they would learn from the mistakes of that first show when they put out the next PPV. Instead they stripped away the positive things of the first show and doubled down on all the bad things.

Say what you will about the Ruiz vs Arreola card this weekend but at least we won't have to put up with 3 hours of "concerts", an arena full of marijuana smoke, terrible shakey ringside cameras, cutting away from the fight to watch Pete Davidson walk around, staged pre-taped slap fights, and the commentators at ringside talking about how high they are complete with a picture-in-picture of coked-up Oscar plastered over top of the fight.

Money talks.

Even now, with a bad knee and occasional neck pains, if someone said "look, we got this prospect, he needs some wins, he hasn't fought anybody, so we thought to match him with someone with zero or 1 win or whatever, we'll pay you $10k" and that were a constant thing - like going forward, you'll just send debuting scrubs my way to help them look good and all I have to do is keep from getting knocked out (which is easy) while exposing the ones that just have no skill, hell yeah I'd do it even now.

Because I perfectly know that getting a boxing license would be easy as hell even at my age and my hand/eye is still sharp.

MMA? I wouldn't do it, hell no.
