27,000 will probably be higher than the PPV numbers.

wonder how this affects algieiri's training for the fight? this is unprecedented-logging this many miles on a press tour.

I remember Pacquiao was on Floyd's tail, fighting and beating the same fighters Mayweather beat but in more dramatic fashion. How things have changed.

pacman was in many war-laden fights while your hero was ducking, vacationing, pulling fake retirements, showed up once a year. he ducked hoya 2, margarito and williams like plagues. but they're gone now and he's safe. everyone pretty much is his own size. his zero would have been gone a long time ago had he stayed in the game. but he's too chicken to. man, the man was in tears in his retirement ceremony. he didn't mean to retire. he was young. he had to. the field was full of alligators.

"...CHRIS ALGIERI, who has Bachelor of Science degree in Health Care Management, a Masters degree in Clinical Nutrition and a Ph.D. in Upsets Inside the Ring."

Why is this statement included in the promotion of the fight? How about just WBO Jr. Welterweight Champion Chris Algeri? Is that not enough? Did he earn a "Ph.D. in Upsets Inside the Ring," after taking only one class?

If Algieri doesn't want to go i'll go...shhhhh he's going to enjoy first class luxury across the board. They ain't putting him up in no Holiday Inn...shhh show me the world for free too. Shouldn't affect him one bit, ain't affecting the other guy and he's older.

Don't forget he came off vacation and whooped JMM, beat Cotto @ 154, and beat Canelo @ 152. He's stll the P4P # 1 boxer on the planet too. Did Manny fight Paul Williams?
