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

[Divine Hammer]

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

oh maybe it wasn't updated because i remember seeing a video of him getting ko'ed.

If Algieri can't decide,...Arum will choose either Provodnikov or Abregu.

Provo or Abregu might even have better potential to beat PAC. Agieri, Provo, Abregu probably are all on similar levels. But the only way to beat PAC is to knock him out. None of these guys will outbox PAC. Provo and Abregu have the power. Provo would land some shots. It'd be good test for PAC to see if he can take huge bombs. (though Bradley did land some some power shots in the last fight)

Arum wants that WBO belt for Pac...

Arum wants that WBO belt for Pac...

Or for Crawford

Or for Crawford

Crawford seems a good match for Algi.

The fight would be at 147 not 140

[lets rumble]

how about arum puts pac against a legit 147 lb fighter instead of selling bull***** fights .
pac is a good 147 fighter that doesnt need to fight the likes of rios or algieri .
top rank is now working with gbp so pit him against a decent 147 fighter

If he wants to price himself out, good. This fight sucks anyway.

Relax, This so-called report of Algieri wanting more $$ is just a marketing ploy. If Juanita is truly out of the running and Algieri is really their next option, then this report is just laying down the groundwork to promote a fight and what better way to create an antagonist but to make himself look like a d*ck!

None of you people know wtf u are talking about. Talked to a source very close to Algieri and he is getting a **** deal....his promoter is trying to take the majority of the purse. Kid WI walk away with half of what his promoter walks away with. 7 figures my ass! This kid is being torn apart by everybody on here who doesn't know a damn thing about the deal. Why should his promoter get all his money? He ain't fighting Pacquiao, Chris is. I give this kid a TON of credit for sticking to his guns. The promoter has more to lose than he does....literally. most of that 1.5 ain't going to Algieri and if u ask me that's bs. If the promoter loses his fat ass payday for Pac fight then he will know Chris can't be railroaded into a bs deal. Then the guy goes to daily news telling lies about it isn't about money. This DeGuardia guy is crooked as hell. No way should he get majority of the kids purse. Stick to ur guns Algieri! You deserve more money then the ****ing promoter. C'mon now

Sounds like Algieri needs to work it out with his promoter
1.5m + PPV upside is plenty and there's no reason Algieri should be asking for more money unless he's ducking and don't want to see Pacquiao in the ring

Asking for more money because of his own personal issues is not the right way to go. Like I said, he needs to work it out with his promoter.

[C-SHO]

I don't blame Algieri for wanting more money. Pacquiao is going to knock him out.

Is he? Pac gonna knock him out? I think not.
