Allegedly he's a giant poon hound. So that corny sh^t is working for him.

Really? Good for him

Really? Good for him

Thats what I've heard. Those manbuns dropping panties I guess. I don't get that sh^t at all, but respect if it works it works.

Dude was like the white Ray Robinson in the Provodnikov fight... but decided to become a brawler after Pacquiao put hands on him. Hopefully he goes back to his old style.

Cuz Joe was f#cking him over. Personally I think its a bad move to ride with the horse thats trying to f#ck you lol. If they made amends or w/e fair play to them. Hopefully Chris knows whats best for him, but I think its dumb to trust a guy who's already effed you over.

Joe DeGuardia fronted the money through the build-up (likely keeping Algieri paid even when the shows loss money), and if things were to ever hit they'd split the big money 50/50.

Admittedly not the best deal, but if your whole career was basically built in a 500-seat venue, with the highlight of maybe fighting on ESPN2, you roll the dice.

Looking good on ESPN2, which led to the cannon fodder offer for Provodnikov, which led to the performance of his life in victory, which then led to the seemingly $1m Pacquiao offer is a lot of things all breaking the right way.

With Algieri now established as a world-level fighter, my guess is that the deal is now more in line with what you'd expect of a fighter at that level (70/30 fighter split with the promoter).

didn't realise it has been that long since he been in the ring

I think Algeri is a funny dude just the way he acts is corny lol i became somewhat of a fan after watching his mini documentary on HBO leading up to the Pac fight. Lol

Nobody cares that he is fighting again. His promoter, mom and trainer are the only people on the planet that care that Algeri is going to fight. He doesnt have any fans.

Speak for yourself..you don't have any fans!

[Queen_Leia]

Is Algieri even relevant enough to have his own article here???

Yes. His resume is underated. He would be undefeated if he never took the risk that he did.

[deanrw]

Ugh, who cares. We get the two Chris's coming back. Algieri and Arreola should both stay away.

[Mr.365]

Would always injured Thurman fight this guy or is he laughably scared of him like he was with Josesito Lopez?
