    He broke a million with cotto, Mosley and I think clottey right?

    People just recognize bs fights. Pac is still a big name, just needs the right opponent. Hell even Floyd didn't break 1 million with the ghost or midana.

    Oddly enough, it's a better fight and would be a better victory than the one over Rios...

    Still, a poor selection. 10-15 easy or more WW's that would be better and more meaningful.

    He is the #3-5 ranked JWW, so that isn't horrible. But lets be honest, that is almost entirely on the premise of one victory and a weak division.

    1.25 M for Cotto, 1.3 M for Mosley, and 700 K for Clottey.

    OK thanks, still good numbers vs mosley. Considering Mosley had lost and was already known to be past it.

    There is no doubt in my mind that pac can break a million again. Just needs the right opponent and proper promotion.

    I can't help to think that maybe arum is mad at Manny for something. I mean he has got to realize that pac is a atg and wasting away what little he has in the tank is such a shame..

    this. I said that when he signed to TR, he was signing up for **** fights. Doesnt want to face the young guns.

    So many more fights as a free agent. He doesnt want to be his own man.

    His fans will have to settle for Rios 2, Bradley 3, or Provo or Algieri.

    I can't see Pac's resume getting any better.

    Floyd's looking at possible matchups against Porter, Thurman, Khan, DSG, etc etc. All fights that will make his legacy a bit better.

    :good

    I used to love pacquiao man,,, like for reals! Dude fought the best, will throw down and was always exciting. But now he doesnt care who he fights, doesnt care about making big fights, doesnt care about nothing but make some decent money with TR when he could make more fighting top dogs expect for cupcakes!!

    Pac's resume cant get better. its great now, and at one time i had him a lsight lead over Floyd but hes last 4-5 years have been crap and at this rate it wont get bettet. Mayweather has surpassed and theres nobody Pacquiao can fight or do to pass him up.

    This is terrible for boxing! Floyd and Pac are handpicking these fights that no one is excited to see. There are many legit opponents out there and this is what you come up with. Say it aint so!

    Pacquiao's fight against Rios was also in Macau and that fight did a little over 400k buys. Given that Algieri is not as well known as Rios, it's possible this fight does between 300K and 400k. I'm guessing Arum is banking on the site fees.

    Could be a smokescreen. Pac will get credit from his followers, he already is. Algieri is not a terrible boxer, just not a good opponent for Pacquiao. Pac's last opponent had 12 KOs to his record, Algieri has 8. Seeing a trend here?

    it's win or lose, tight or loose. wrap your head around that and THEN go punch your english teacher in the mouth which is better THAN not punching him or her in the mouth. :bbb
