Comments Thread For: Arum on Pacquiao: Algieri is Possible, Garcia is Not

[Pago007]

Blame pac for signing 2 contracts then arum for the rest

Bob trying to match manny-algeri because algeri has a lesser contract and bob think that it will generates PPV or more revenue but Bob is wrong because algeri has unknown has no name in boxing why they push that match while a good fight for manny is danny garcia. forget about mayweather...

Personally, I don't think any fight is "PPV worthy" seeing how the only reason I subscribe to HBO and Showtime is for boxing. Personally, I don't understand how some of these folks around here seem to almost take pride in having to shell out extra money to see their favs.

That said, just because I don't deem a fight "worthy" of dropping PPV dough on doesn't mean its a bad fight. And that's how I feel about Manny-Algeri. Manny doesn't have any big fight options. Floyd fight isn't gonna happen. JMM doesn't wanna fight him. Bradley isn't sellable. Pac would never go near the same boxing ring as Canelo. So what other options does he have? Had Provo taken care of business, folks would be salivating over Pac-Provo. So why so down on Pac fighting the guy that beat Provo?

You have a good point. Pac vs. Algeri is not horrible if it is not a PPV. Mayweather vs. Maidana was not really PPV status. It's not like Maidana KO'd Broner. It's just ironic that Arum calls for a boycott of Floyd's fight for being lopsided, then proposes Pac vs. Algeri. That's just plain hypocrisy.

I've ordered one Floyd fight since his return against JMM and that was the Canelo fight. And that was because I was sick and didn't feel like hitting the theater. I'm not gonna lie and say I wouldn't have ordered the others because I'm a Floyd fan. But the Maidana, Guerrero, and Ortiz fights I personally would deem not PPV worthy. But I probably would have broken down and ordered to see Floyd. Much like I didn't think Cotto-Martinez was PPV worthy. But I broke down and ordered cause I'm a Cotto fan. Had actually planned on flying to NYC to attend it. But talked myself out of it because Cotto was gonna get his ass kicked so bad. Great call on my part

Mmmm... why are people surprised? they made Pacquiao/Rios. I don't see why they can't make Pacquiao/Algieri too. Anything is possible with the fighter of the decade hahahaha

Ortiz and Guerrero were not PPV worthy at all. Cotto, Canelo, and JMM, yes. If Maidana, Cotto, or Canelo get a rematch, definitely PPV. What about Mayweather vs. Thurman? I ain't really sold on that as a PPV (but a damn good fight). At least Showtime supports the main event with decent undercards.

Whenever Floyd fights, I'll be watching. I don't think Thurman has done enough to call him a "big fight/PPV worthy" event for Floyd. But, I've seen enough slippage in Floyd that I would probably pick Thurman to upset him. I would definitely pick Porter to beat him. So that would add some intrigue for me. But I ain't holding my breath. For all the duck bull**** that these ****** muf.uckaz roun d here blab about Floyd. I don't think Floyd wants any part of young, hungry, talented cats like Porter, Thurman, and even the Andrade kid.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez was a young, hungry, stronger, bigger talented "cat" when Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr dominated him.

I think Floyd will def fight one not both Porter and Thurman. At this point i'm thinking it's going to be Shawn because Keith keeps on fighting c level fighters.

Canelo is a pampered star. He may even be nore talented than the guys mentioned. But he isn't starving for stardom the way those guys are. Those guys won't concede defeat nearly as easily as Nelo did. It might even be subconscious. Nelo knew win or lose, there were big fights in his future. Same can't be said for the cats I mentioned. Plus, Nelo's bank account is a lil more comfortable than any of those boys.

The end is definitely near! I saw that in the Cotto fight. However Floyd waits until young, hungry cats get money. Everyone is about training and fitness when they're starving. Once they get money, things change (i.e. Broner). I like Porter, but I can't give him props for beating up Paulie. Thurman hasn't fought a big name, but I know it ain't his fault. Andrade called out Kirkland and Kirkland turned it down, so I know Andrade ain't bluffin'. Still, Andrade, Thurman, and Porter ain't Cotto, Canelo or Maidana. I can't be mad at Floyd for picking from the older crew, especially since Floyd is almost 40.
