Comments Thread For: Chris Algieri Not Happy With Money From Errol Spence Fight

[Nubia]

Algieri isn't a Haymon-managed fighter. His current promoter is terrible. He should have left when he had the chance.

[tiliheels]

Deguardia did a "provision of services" agreement with Haymon, to provide the services of Algeri. It seems he was paid $650,000 or somewheres around that, because Algeri's $325,000 purse would be 50% of 650k.

It was not a joint promotion. Deguardia only got an "in association with" credit as a courtesy. It was a PBC event, promoted by Dibella

thanks for the info you seem very solid.
so is he saying that joe was not upfront about the money that he had? how muck of the 650 do you feel that algieri should get?

So what, you got ktfo

Yep. Every fighter deserves fair compensation for risking their lives in the ring.

Thats pretty awful 50% to the promoter. Algieri, after taxed and paying for camp and trainer must be walking away with very little. What is surprising is this issue was not addressed before the contract was signed. Wouldnt shock me if his promoter offered his lawyer a piece of the action to gloss over the details ad convince Algieri to sign. Either way no promoter deserves 50%. Fighters are the ones putting in the risk and work, their careers can be fleeting. Promoters will always find someone else to take profit on.

Exactly. 50% is pathetic. Total ripoff.

F#ck Joe DeGuardia with his Chris wasn't having no one answering his calls so now its cool for me to rip him off Don King type bs.

Yep. DeGuardia taking lessons from his mentor Don. Total b.s.

Who cares Joe, you pocketed 50% you weasel. That's fine, you got your payday..... now go find another fighter, weasel. You don't get to rip-off smart people twice.

^^^ THIS ^^^

What's really sick is, this DeGuardia weasel saying he basically can still sleep well at night after the ripoff b.s. he pulls. I hope the word gets out in a big way. Pathetic sheetz like him, Don King, some others... they need to be ran outta town on a rail. POS worthless azzholeoz.

This is complete bull****. Why doesn't come in and try to help clean up boxing? It's not right that this do nothing ******* can take 50% of the fighter's purse while the fighter pays off all the expense for his camp with his portion.

Boxing is the most regressive sport in the world it seems. Fighters at the smaller end barely make a thing and have to split most of their purse with their promoters/manager. Then once you start making Mayweather money, you just cut them a check for a fixed amount.

DeGuardia played the "violating confidentiality agreements" card real quick.

It seems that those agreements are used mostly to keep shady dealings from coming to light.

Yeah it makes you wonder what they are hiding.

Ey another Mike Jones fan?! What's up with him man; do you know if he's ever coming back?

People having a go at Algieri are totally missing the point. Boxers are still getting ripped off and it's disgustng. How can a promoter walk away with more than the fighter. This is wrong wrong wrong. The Ali act must protect fighters against this.

1. hes lost 3 fights in a row now
2. hes signed with star boxing, that is the first time i even heard of them.


steps for algeri to make more money
1. stop crying
2. start winning
3. find new promoter

[HanzGruber]

Wow people complaining that Algieri got more money than spence.... thats not the point (what has spence done except face fodder opposition and has he won a world title?). Im sure a guy like him wouldnt be saying things without a reason. Also he should get more than 50% as he taken on a very tough challenge. Anyway hope it gets sorted out as after that fight he needs to think hard about his next steps.

It got sorted out alright, his pos promoter has his money stashed In a bank nice and safely
