The Manny Pacquiao
(56-5-2, thirty eight KO’s) vs. Chris Algieri (20-0, eight KOs) is reportedly a
prepared deal for November twenty second at the Venetian Casino; which Resort was Macao, China.
Dan Rafael of ESPN is
news that the Algieri committed the deal on Tues following a gathering along
with his promoters Joe DeGuardia and Artie Pellulo. The Pacquiao
vs Algieri Live fight are televised on HBO pay-per-view.
Pacquiao’s promoter
Bob Arum is taking a giant risk in having the Pacquiao vs Algieri Live fight
occur in Macau, China, that is wherever Arum staged Pacquiao’s fight against
Brandon Rios last year.
The pay-per-view
numbers for that fight were a disaster with solely 475,000 buys coming back
from the Pacquiao vs Algieri Live fight. Arum later deuced the low
interest within the fight being as a result of the fight card happening in Macau
that prevented several U.S media personnel from attending the Pacquiao vs Algieri Live fight.
It’s unclear what’s
modified since then, as a result of Arum ought to have learned his lesson, on
the other hand this can be a fight is more concerning gap up the Chinese
markets for ultimate pay-per-view.
“We have a deal,” I came up just about with what they were yearning for so Joe
and Artie had to take a seat down with Algieri and cut it up fairly amongst
themselves.”
The purse isn’t
however identified for Aligeri, however it’s same to be over $1 million.
Earlier on there have been rumors of Algieri obtaining $1.5 million, however
once more this still hasn’t been confirmed. The secure purse also will
doubtless embrace a proportion of the pay-per-view side no matter it's. Unless
this Pacquiao vs Algieri Live fight makes a lot of cash the
side from the pay-per-view won't be substantial.
Algieri are moving up
in weight from one hundred forty to challenge Pacquiao for his WBO welterweight
title instead of Pacquiao moving down in weight to challenge for his pugilist
strap.
Algieri defeated WBO
champion Ruslan Provodnikov by a twelve spherical decision last month in
Brooklyn, New York. It wasn’t exciting Pacquiao vs Algieri Live fight,
however Algieri did the duty to urge the win by outworking Provodnikov.
“I suppose it’s a
motivating fight between him and Manny,” Arum same. “This may be a
college-educated child, an honest boxer, the type of child United Nations
agency can draw interest aside from the hardcore boxing fan. And therefore the
child may also fight.”
I think lots of
boxing fans would pain the number of interest in Pacquiao fighting a bit
identified college-educated fighter. It sounds nice for simply a second once
you have confidence it, however it’s not compulsive. It’s not one thing can
mean a lot of something to the common boxing fan. It would mean one thing to
moneyed those who were educated at Harvard like Arum, except for the common
person, nah, it’s most likely not aiming to mean something in the slightest
degree.
I hope Arum isn’t too
foiled if this Pacquiao vs Algieri Live fight fails to herald even 400,000
pay-per-view buys, as a result of I see this card tanking badly in one amongst
Pacquiao’s worst PPV events of his career. I believe Arum has lost his vision
in what fans extremely care concerning.
If all boxing fans
area unit aiming to get for his or her cash is to ascertain Pacquiao fight a “college-educated
child,” that I assume are Arums point, then I can’t see this issue even breaking
500,000 PPV buys.
Chris Algieri
“This press tour has
been a beautiful ride and it's helped ME grow as someone and a champion. I’d
wish to impart Team Pacquiao. It’s been fun to ascertain however the elite
level operates during this business. We’ve got 2 champions fighting one
another. It’s not one thing you see fairly often, particularly today you see
lots of fellows attempting to carry on to their histories, grip
on to their Championship titles and we’re not scared to fight the most
effective. I believe we'd like a
lot of guys during this sport doing that United Nations agency aren’t afraid to
require challenges and take risks.”
Manny Pacquiao
“You saw Algieri’s last fight against Ruslan
Provodnikov. He showed his toughness and he fought smart therefore he deserves
this fight. I don’t wish to underestimate my opponent. I actually have to
organize myself 100%. It’s been a short time since the fans of Manny Pacquiao
have seen the killer instinct like once I fought Margarito, Cotto, Hatton, de la Hoya, and that’s what I’m attempting to indicate during this fight. All I
will advise his team is train onerous and that I can train onerous so {we will
we will we are able to} provides a smart fight and that we can entertain
folks.”
