    The fight itself is not bad. The ppv cost might be. But the fight is a damn good style contrast and lose able fight for the star fighter.

      Since thats the case it should just be regular HBO, but bob wants to suck out each and ever last penny.

      yea, i know he can't help himself...even with a potential flop, he's not gonna pass up the extra money

        This is a tougher fight for Pac than people think. I give a slight edge to pac, but wouldn't be surprised if Algieri can pull the upset. Pac doesn't have alot of options right now and I like this fight.

          Because the righteous Floyd fans never and don't scoff at Pacman's choices of fighters.

              People are saying 14-1 odds but I'm not seeing that anywhere...

                As in crickets at the mgm after paying a huge site fee. Risky play here for Arum. I'm pretty sure they offer him good cash in Macau but not the way some make it out to be.

                  Same here. Horrible stylistic match up for a fading Pacquiao. Definitely wouldn't be shocked if he lost. I wouldn't be shocked if he knocks Chris out either. That's why this is a solid fight on paper, imo.

                    I was against it but not so much now. Algieri doesn't have a big name and most thought he was an ESPN fighter being force fed to Ruslan. Well it turns out he's a damn good boxer and an undefeated champion. I know he only has one big win, but he looked great. I don't think this is the best fight, but it isn't bad. It's not PPV worthy, but neither are a lot of fights on PPV. That's just how boxing is today.
