Comments Thread For: Chris Algieri Recalls the Fight That Cost Him 'a Seven-Figure Payday'

[anonymous2.0]

Who was going to give Algieri a 7 figure payday? I like Algieri as an analyst but his performance in the Pacquaio fight was dismal, his corner comical, and I think that fight is the one fight in my memory with the widest points spread. Truth told I don't think Algieri earned that Khan fight either, Khan wanted that fight so he could knock out Algieri to try and bait the public into a MP fight.

I like hearing Chris on his podcast and YT...I remember when he fought Manny and I posted somewhere that I couldnt think of more lopsided scores in a fight that big.

Got to be a record. His coach is the biggest ****** ever for not pulling him. He was gone after that hard KD. He was taking knees, doing backflips etc tough to watch

Algieri is a good tough Italian boy. Against Pacquiao, he got knocked down 159 1/2 times, and kept getting up His great granny once slept with Don Vito Genovese, who was Paulie Maligniaggi's great uncle, six times removed. Tough kid, that Algieri

I had algieri beating khan as he landed the cleaner punches as khan shoe shined algieris gloves. That dubious decision landed khan a canelo fight so maybe algieri lands the canelo fight if he gets thd decision?

If you want to see probably the worst stoppage ever, check out Alex Garcia vs Bernard Benton from the early 90s.

Him and Paulie make great commentators and analysis for all the fights. They've been in there and taken their own beatings. I can't say anything bad about them when it comes to ProBox as I think they've made the show what it is right now, along side that white dude that I don't know his name and when they include the likes of Teddy Atlas, Shawn Porter or Tim Bradley.

Sometimes the show feels like BoxingScene Forum come to life (well maybe BS forum of 10-15 years ago, lol).

Agreed. For the most part, they have good analysis.

I also noticed Algieri seems to be uncommonly gracious and often refers to his co-host as "champ". That's a cool guy. Respect doesn't cost anything to give.

Come on, Chris. You missed out on a seven-figure fight because you just weren't good enough to earn one. "Tiger's blood"!

Lane should have kept him in that cage where it was safe

Real dudes will have many 7 fig opportunities.
