Algieri Wants More Money To Fight Pacquiao In China

[GoToTheBody]

Newsday reporting Algieri turned down an offer of 1.5 million hoping to land a bigger payday to put his unbeaten record on the line in China vs Pacquiao. Ballsy move for the new WBO Champion. Will his calculated gamble pay off? Will Top Rank up the anti or move on? Hopefully it pays off for him. http://www.newsday.com/sports/boxing...uiao-1.8782471

How about $100,000 more, lol.

Hopefully it doesn't pay off for him as this isn't a good fight. Having it in China would just make it seem even less relevant.

want this guy to go to china to get robbed.pay that man

[WesleySnipes]

ha i guess now Arum dont like the fact that Algieri got an master degree

Still cant believe that there are really negoations going on for this bull

I hope this happens:

"Algieri wants more than $1.5 mill?. What's Marquez's telephone number again?" - Arum

Algieiri isn't dumb enough to agree to having his purse tied into ppv upside for a fight that won't have any ppv sales.

[Blueduck]

He is smart.. he has a belt, he is undefeated, yet looks very defeatable, and has virtually no knock out power.

I'm not knocking him there, but that makes for one dream opponent people are willing to pay for.

LMAO

I'm glad I got a good laugh to start the day.

Algieri playing hardball in negotiations. As horrible as the fight is, I hope they work it out because the alternatives are dreadful. Abregu will fight for peanuts.
