    1.5kk plus ppv upside is more than fair when your biggest purse was 100k.

    that's 15x more plus the recognition.


    after the fight, he will be more visible and will command better purse even if he loses.

    if he wins, he will be another bradley of sort. not quite but close.

    Should Algieri's handlers think it's a good deal,have them cut their percentage to take the fight and allow Chris to fill his bank account.
    Good on Chris,he's nobody's fool.He has a title and therefor other options and certainly less dangerous ones at that.Stick to your guns,Champ.:good

    Oh but it was low balling Maidana? So you admit Maidana's a more formidable opponent than Algieri?

    well you can look at it short term like that and you make a point

    but if a fighter truly believes he is great and destined for big things yet feels he is being brought along maybe a little to fast (certainly the case if he is getting thrown in with pac after only 1 notable fight, not to mention the weight class etc) then he needs to look at the trade off. for instance canelo put off fighting floyd after mosley stating he was not yet ready, canelo knew he was going to be a big force in the future and wanted to be ready to take floyds thrown when he fought him, not just rock up try and give himself a good account and take the paycheck.

    algieri may think he is truly destined to become a HUGE HUGE star in the future weather he is right or wrong NO ONE yet knows. but he seems to think the loss to pac is not worth the offer arum is giving him

    He probably wants more than the 5 bucks and 2 egg rolls Arum is offering

    What happened to Golden boy and Top Rank being willing to work together, as surely Pacquiao has better options than Algieri who has one top 10 win at the weight class below?

    Algieri fight should wait until Algieri gets more world class experience then it would be a good fight.

    If you haven't walked into your employer's office and asked for a Pay Cut yet, then why the Hell are you busting Alieri's chops???

    Algieri has absolutely no chance of winning a pac fight he won't stop pac and they won't give him a decision even if he appears to win 12-0 no surprise he's trying to get the most out of a surefire loss

    Last time Manny did not negotiate properly with someone (lost Cotto to Floyd for wanting catch weight) he ended up getting face planted.

    I hope I don't bother watching this fight

    Yeah he beat a champion but flipping hell man, fighting one of the top guys already this is BS!

    And then trying to offer Alvarado if the fight doesn't go through?
    Just fight Bradley in a trilogy again if u must fight useless fights

    i like how algieri took a mere 100k for his beating in the first round at the hand of provodnikov but want's more than 1.5m to get a beating from pacman?

    this fight is **** anyway does he realize there is 0 public demand for this... i would have signed it the moment i was offered it but again i guess he is trying his luck... walking on thin ice i would say
