Comments Thread For: Postol Suffers Injury, Indongo to Fight Prograis on March 9

[Snoop Frog]

I wanted to see Postol after his long layoff, but Indongo is a strong replacement. Will be a good test for both to see where they stand in the division.

Good break for Progrias, Postol might gave been troubling but Indongo can barely fight. Should be an easy win for Ragarou.

Indongo is a good replacement for Postol

I want to see Prograis vs Taylor this year

[Afi23]

Speaking of nothing to something moves, Chris Algieri had a great come up. Fought Emmanuel Taylor for 15k on ESPN. Moved on to Provodnikov for 150,000 on HBO (or showtime, can’t remember) and capped it w 1.5 mil vs Pacquiaoon PPV. That was an amazing run career wise. Had he won vs PAC maybe he could have fought Mayweather for 15 million! I kid I kid.

And still gets to use his college degrees by working for boxers such as Daniel Jacobs!

If only they'd have let him out of the cage sooner.

But yea he had a nowhere rise to & probably made out better money-wise than Indongo did since he did get that ***y Manny fight money. Idr how much Indongo got for Bud, but I doubt it was close to 1.5M.

Respect to Algieri. Hopefully dude can run out his bs promoter contract soon & get back in the ring. Believe I heard him say it'll be up sometime this year so we should see him back in 2018.

Randomly f#ck abc groups & f#ck sketchy a$$ promoter contracts.

Damn, please explain more. I though Algieri had retired.

Joe DeGuardia is a sketchy a$$ contract mfer + handles his fighter in a disrespectful manner. No fighter should be knowing how much they are getting of the money coming in at the weigh in. Thank you Muhammad Ali Act for being a limp **** in that regard. Although I guess its better to know at some point than not know at all so Chris can make the decision to not get f#cked over or give this scammy mfer half of the money coming in for his fights.

But anyway below is the basics of the beef although the link has more details.

Chris has been on a couple podcasts as of late talking about boxing again this year presumably when his deal is up with DeGuardia.

Edit: Found a video of him talking about fighting in 2018.

Algieri is upset because DeGuardia takes a 50-50 split, which is extremely high in favor of the promoter for a fighter on Algieri’s level who fights on HBO or Showtime. Algieri agreed to a $325,000 purse to fight Errol Spence Jr. on April 16 in Brooklyn, a bout that was televised in primetime by NBC.

Per the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act, a federal law signed by President Bill Clinton in 2000, a promoter must disclose to any boxer who is in a 10- or 12-round fight all sources of income he obtains from a bout. However, the promoter isn’t required to provide the disclosure until the night of the fight.

DeGuardia provided Algieri with the information at the weigh-in on April 15, though Algieri had been asking for the information for months, as detailed in a Feb. 26 story on Yahoo Sports.

The issue from a boxer’s standpoint is how would he be able to fairly negotiate a purse unless he knew how much money was in the pot.

In the case of Algieri and DeGuardia, DeGuardia knew there was $650,000 in the pot, but Algieri did not know until long after he’d signed the contract to meet Spence. He went through a complete training camp and incurred significant expenses only to find out at the weigh-in that DeGuardia would be earning the same amount as he would.

That is all the way f**cked up, man. Algieri is a good fighter. He doesn't have a ton of power but has the perfect style to still be entertaining despite that lack of a KO punch (in my opinion). Business is business, i guess. But someone needs to do a better job of regulating business, because mfers are going to get away with whatever the rules allow them to... and then some.

No doubt at all. I know people love to dog non-#1 guys & by no means do I feel like Chris had or has #1 guy potential, but he's a talented & accomplished top ten type cat who should be making money for himself & others doing business in the right way with him in boxing vs on the sidelines for almost 2yrs now.

And this is how sketchy this business can be that I don't think some people grasp. Chris ain't a dummy who'd be selling drugs or in jail if not for boxing. Chris gots a f#cking bachelor's degree + a masters degree AND HE STILL GOT F#CKED OVER IN BOXING.

Some people don't get if you ain't up on the game the game can still f#ck you over cuz you don't know what you are even looking for sometimes til your deep in it & f#cked already.
