Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Fight in Doubt, Algieri Wants More Money

[darius45]

Promoters are nothing but leeches...There needs to be some sort of fighter coup and just take the business power away from these crooks... oh wait, Oscar de Lahoya... greed corrupts everyone...

Neither Ortiz nor Guerrerro got a cut of the PPV in their fights against Mayweather. Everything else you said is moot after making those asinine comments.

And where did you find this information? Even if it is true it doesn't matter anyway, those guys were complete unknowns and fought them. LMAO at the fl*mos still trying to justify that BS offer Floyd made Manny, and saying its the same as the Algieiri situation it isn't even comparable. One fight is going to flop the other would generate $300 million in PPV buys and Manny barely gets 10% lol. Do what you must to justify being a blind fan of his.

Algieri is in the driver seat, they need him a lot more than he needs them RIGHT NOW! He can pursue this fight later, why are fans acting as if Algieri is running out of time and mush take this fight now. No Actually if he waits and he takes on maybe Provodnikov and beat him more convincingly then he could end up hitting the jackpot later on compared to taking this LOWBALL OFFER just because it has been offered to him.

...BWHAHAHA Algieri is in the drivers seat? Manny can fight Rod Salsa right after Garcia and still make a $20 million payday. The casuals and Manny fans will buy it no matter what, they'll just find some other guy to take the fight at $500k. Aligieri will get shunned back to ESPN if he were to turn it down, look at his promoter.

The guy is no desperate bum -- Algieri holds a master degree in healthcare science from the New York Institute of Technology. He earns his living as a clinical nutritionist and his fight record is 40-0 (in kick boxing and pro boxing)... And he holds the WBO light welterweight belt...
It seems he's not the one who badly needs this fight.

Wikipedia states that Algieri's kickboxing record is 20-0...

Algieri Is An Idiot... $100k, Last Fight, $1.5M Plus PPV This Fight???

Like Bradley I think Algie is suffering concussion like symptoms from Provo. First of all Algie doesn't deserve Manny. He did not convincingly beat Provo. This is what these guys do who don't want to fight Manny; they ask for too much money. Let this clown go back to being a nutritionist and see how long it takes him to make $2m-$3m. Algie is no marquee name; he sells nothing. This is the Manny Pacquiao Show. Marquez didn't want to fight Manny for the 147 belt he says he has to have, so he asks for too much money so the fight doesn't happen. Cut Algie off, kick that fool to the curb, and go get another sho wants $2m, $3m. Just an idiot. This is why it's hard for Manny to get fights. Marquez wouldn't fight him, Floyd won't fight him, Bradley finally came around to fighting him. They know this is one and done. They can't beat Pacquiao.

Ive seen people posting about his promoter taking 60% and that should be illegial

His promoter does seem to be affiliated tho

Did Algieri called Pac out at welterweight?
I didn't hear that.

I am sure HBO is holding on to Aligieri so I don't see gong back to ESPN happening. If he waits and fight a few top 140-147 guys and WIN, I am sure he will get a even better offer than this LOW BALL DEAL

They came looking for him, Aligieri did not go looking for Pacquiao nor did he demand a Pacquiao fight so he is not in some type of rush like his career is near the end. He is basically just getting started. Aligieri is a very smart guy out of the ring so he is NOT going to fall for that Lowball **** and I really don't blame him
