Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Algieri Being Finalized, Manny Likes It

[radiotracer]

This is a bad fight...horrible fight It shows you the level Manny is on now. Even if this turns out to be a decent fight it's not ppv worthy. And it's arum so you know the card is gonna suck too. No reason to even think about this fight.

but it's a pac fight not a pitty pat win the round dance. Pac will try to "make people happy"

What if Algieri wins?

THIS! Then the biggest upset of the year wouldn't be the Provodnikov fight.

im quite disappointed with team pacquiao and top rank promotions. this fight will sell in china for 10$ dollars a pop. I consider most all fights to be competitive on ppv but this is a tuneup you do on your own time in your own city.

man up floyd.

Bob sees a look and image he can easily sell to the public.

the thing with manny is i dont think he realized this or maybe he just doesnt care, but taking on fights like this is a very low interest match up, in return the fight will not do well. when it come times for negotiating, pac wont have much leverage. manny needs to see this and understand it. in pac's mind he's prolly thinking he's doing the right thing by taking on fighters presented to him. but then again pac is under arum so its not like he has any say when negotiating for money split.

STop with this altruistic bull**** evol. Newslflash, every person in the ****ing free world likes it when they can have an easy day on the job for huge money. Manny, is no different.

Take that poor, loyal peasant, helpless waif bull**** and flush it. Manny took this fight because gettting paid for an easy day is 2nd on the list to getting paid for doing nothing.

Manny took the fight because he loves the idea of $20+ mil for an easy day. SO do all of us.

lets see, easy fight = big reward. yeah pac made a bad decision staying with TR right. LOL!!! whats with people on here and asking pac to become a free agent?? why not lets just ask all the boxers to become a free agent then?

Really? Because I thought Pac fights "FOR THE PEOPLE"? If it were Floyd would you be defending him for "easy fight = big reward"? No, you'd be crucifying him like you always do, so why don't u try to be a little less bias here. And YES, he made a bad move signing with TR. There are NO interesting fights for him with TR fighters and you and I know that Arum wants to keep the money in house. Not to mention, if u are a fan of Pac why would you not want him to become a free agent? He would've been able to make the fights that the fans want to see and he wouldn't be paying 27% to Rob Arum, instead, we get fights like this. Oscar, Floyd, even Cotto who isn't the draw that Pac is did it and they all did better as free agents. You, I and everyone else with some sense knows that Pacquiao did worse than he would've done signing with TR, than if he had become a free agent and got GOOD MANAGEMENT. Come on Evol..your defense of everything that is Pacquiao is really getting to be pathetic.

Chris is going to beat Manny and knock him out late in the fight. This fight will shock a lot of people. Chris is going to completely destroy Manny.

I'm going with Chris via KO RD 12.

Algieri looks fine -- but he doesn't have KO power... let's be honest...
Whatever how smart he might be, Algieri doesn't have the required experience and speed for a Manny fight. Or has he?

who drank all ur coffee this morning? i said on my post above that manny taking this easy fight will give him a good return so its no wonder why he resigned with TR. so are u saying floyd took the rematch because he beat chino already so this time it will be even easier with the same pay day?

when did i defend pac for this? LOL. u asked a question and i answered it. take a chill pill fan boy, im not defending anyone or anything here. if u wanna make fun at manny for taking on this fight like how i would make fun of floyd, then go for it, aint nobody is stopping u from doing that LOL. and why should i care if pac becomes a free agent or not? and why do u care so much about it, ur not even a pac fan remember? LOL! also why do u care how much cotto makes now after becoming a free agent and how much manny could be making? definition of a fan boy!!!

[IMDAZED]

I really can't believe this fight is happening. WTF is going on?? Oh Manny, Manny...why did you re-up?????
