The only thing that should be entertaining about Pac-Algieri would be Lampley, Kellerman, maybe even Roy Jones' commentary of this fight. How hard is it going to be for then to pretend they excited and intrigued with this matchup. This will be the weakest Face Off of all time, Manny smiling at Algieri the whole time while they talk about college degrees and upcoming elections...
I know, smiling, talking about college degrees, about politics will not sell fights, but talking about how dysfunctional your family is will sell more ppvs ? :-(

Bob could include GGG vs Chavez Jr on this card. Or just put it on HBO and invite K2 and Soliman to Macau for bigger $$$ than straight HBO bux.... Could give GGG V Soliman like 4 mil to split and 3 percent of PPV upside....800k buys and that's extra 3mil split....both would jump on it. Put Cotto vs Bradley on 1st Dec weekend with Kovalev vs Fonfara or Chilemba with 3 mil plus 3percent.....600k buys would bring an extra 500k in split.
u.s. ppv buys is just a bonus when pac fights in macau. worry about theftjr's. choketime is piling up loses now they dont want the public to know their numbers.:rofl:rofl:hi:
you started this thread about hbo reaction on pac-algeri. now im asking you where is it? how is this talking about you? now, where is he ****ing hbo reaction you idiot?
Bob Arum: So Manny what do you think of Pacquiao-Algieri in Macau!!! Pacquiao: ummmmmm, where is Macau again?? Bob Arum: Fantastic, all we need now is Algieri to agree to terms Pacquiao: ummmm, ca...ca, ca can I see my contract.......father? Bob Arum: Koncz come get him before I slap him!!
At least with Rios he was coming off KTFO6 and you didn't know if he could take a chin-check. Algieri is a big step up from Rios, but being that Pac just took out Bradley, it is completely unwarranted. I could name 15 better fights at WW for Pacquiao, easily. Being that Pacquiao is one of the best P4P at the moment as well as an ATG, that means this is a garbage fight.
