            No one boycotted the Mayweather/Maidana fight so I don't see why anyone should boycott this fight? Both Maidana and Algieri are perceived to be one of the weaker champs of their respective divisions.

              Oh it had something to do with Floyd?

              Didn't see that coming.

                I wouldn't even say we should boycott the fight, because some fights are just not PPV worthy, and this is one of those fights. So I just wouldn't pay for it, and I'd be surprised if anyone who wasn't just a Pac fan would pay for it.

                On another note I think it goes to show how far apart Mayweather and Pac are when it comes expectations are and the actual level. Mayweather was a 13-1 favorite against a two division champ who has proven himself at 140 and 147 and was known by his peers as one of the most devastating P4P punchers in the sport. And was the WBA welterweight Champ.
                Whereas Pac is a 14-1 favorite and he's fighting a guy who has no punching power, has one notable win which was a questionable win for a title at 140, has never even faced a top 15 welterweight, Has no notable names on his resume other than Provo.

                  Guerrero are beaten berto and was undefeated up until that point, having moved up weight classes and not coming in overweight for previous fights. Guerrero was at least coming off a big win. Rios couldn't be justified. But Algieri can at least.

                    Guerrero was Floyd's mandatory, and he held the interim WBC welterweight title, not to mention he was a 4 division champ. Guerrero was clearly a better opponent than Algeri.

                      I'm not buying it as of now. I don't think copying d4thincarnation or Bob ARum and "boycotting" the fight is necessary.
