    Rumor is that Chris is asking for $750,000.

    I think Algieri wins this one and rather easily. However, since he only managed to win a single round off of Pac and was dominated the rest of the way, he needs to adjust what he perceives his monetary worth is.

    Lucky to get the one payday against Pacquioa, doesn't make him a blue chip draw. Moving on, there's lots of other 140 pounders for Crawford, better ones too.

    WTF man? Dudes like Algieri and Guerrero get lucky to fight on a PPV headliner and suddenly think they're shot callers? Both these turds got basically shut out ffs.

    Seriously...Manny and Floyd: RETIRE PLEASE!

    algieri thinks he a superstar? crawford should not give in, he is the fighter of the year he is the one coming off big wins where as algieri has had 2 fights in the limelight, one was a razor thin decision against good but limited opposition and the other was a destruction at the hands of faded but none the less still elite pacquiao. he should take what he is given if he is confident he can beat fighter of the year? the opportunity alone is worth taking alot less coin

    Leave Algeri at the negotiating table and fight one of the champs at 135, Linares would be my choice. Or he could always fight juan diaz, he would take the money and as a fan would love to see him with one last shot

    Algieri knows he can't win this, that's why he's asking for so much money, might be the last big fight oppurtunity he gets.

    I would make Crawford fav and expect him to win but wouldn't be shocked if Chris outboxes him, I think at this stage Chris has fought the better fighters but I would pick Crawford to win.

    Chris has fought one better fighter, pacquiao, who demolished him. Crawford has the better wins.

    You think Crawford could beat Ruslan for example? and Crawford has not really done anything of note at 140.

    Also like I said I expect Crawford to beat him but if chris takes his loss to Pacquiao as a learning experience it could benefit him i wouldn't be shocked if chris beats him as well.

    Yeah I'd take Crawford over provodnikov. I just don't think Algieri is that good. He uses a lot of lateral movement and has a decent jab but overall he's pretty average.
