Pacquiao-Algieri Prefight & Postfight discussion & analysis thread

[Evol]

Well PAC's preference was either Marquez or Mayweather. But neither wanted the fight.

So that's the problem. Either way, any other opponent will seem inexperienced against PAC.

What makes Thurman and Porter that much better than Algieri. Both Thurman and Porter haven't beaten much or any big named opponents.

Khan? What has he done lately. Beating a journeyman fringe contender? Losing a couple in his last 4 or 5 fights.

Guerrero? Do I have to go there?
Broner? People would still nitpick since Broner lost to Maidana recently.

Let's get real and face reality. There aren't enough big name opponents to make epic fights each time.

Is this a great fight with momentum? No... But don't fool yourself thinking, there were many better options.

none of those names u mention matters because pac wont be able to fight them at the moment anyways. so it was between algieri and that other guy from south africa or something.

[Divine Hammer]

come on guy...

is it a crime to be excited to see undefeated world champion great american hero true rocky story algieri fight ATG legend manny pacquiao?

so you come on guy.

this year pac will have fought two undefeated and highly ranked world champions. this is the truth.

I do agree with Hectari on this fight being a Risk with Very low reward fight. Which makes it a ****** fight for them to make. High Risk? I dont think so. But ive seen big upsets in this sport before. The fight makes No ***ing sense at all. Hell some people thought Ruslan won that fight. Id rather see Manny fight Ruslan even with him holding the Loss. Its a better fight IMO. I do know that "Haters" will take this to another level. In which will be retaliated by Manny fans. I normally would join in and stand my ground. But ....I cant on this one. Im pissed that Bob is making this fight. I know all the reasons why as well. I give Floyd hell all the time for the same thing. But i know floyd Fights for Money...not Fans. Manny...is supposed to take fights on that the fans want to see or would be interesting for fans to see. This is not one of them. I also agree with Joms...this fight is what it is. Its no debate. Like it or not. I personally wont buy it. Im appalled that TR would PPV this event. Im gonna enjoy watching how Bob is gonna sell this event. Bottom line...its a shlt fight.

wait until the 24/7 episole comes out and u'll do a 180 LOL.. and manny fighting for the fans was never meant to say he pick the fighters the fans want. we all know manny is in no power to do this. when he says he fights for the fans he means he'll give the fans their money's worth by pressing and forcing the action. but its whatever LOL.

i guess pac should go back to fighting old flat footed guys so they can be happy again?

you know what manny means when he says that but in the other thread when floyd said "Khan has petersen problems" you took that literally. why aren't you taking this literally as well?

I feel you dude. is what it is. Algieiri beat ruslan and got the fight instead. nothing wrong with that.

Algieri...has only had 20 pro fights. Thats it! thats his Boxing resume. No amateur Boxing back ground ...NOTHING. I can think of better shlt fights out there for Manny to fight. Thats putting big name opponents aside. If Algieri has fought Bradley, JMM, Khan...upcomers like Porter Thurman or hype jobs like Guerrero or Broner...and has had his share of beating some or all...Than yes....Fight on of the best in the world.

It is what is...and there is something wrong with it.

all the fighters you mentioned have actually fought and defeated ww's except one-Algieiri. Maybe thats why people are complaining he is getting a shot at a ww belt and a huge payday against manny.

Again, they haven't beat anyone of note,... no BIG names, little top contenders if any, no PPV fighters.

The PAC-Algieri fight will be at 144lb I think. Do I think this fight is great? No,.. It has very little hype if any. Although stylistically, it is interesting.

I personally think it should either be half price PPV,...or part of proceeds should go to charity... or free on HBO. That would have been a nice move from PAC and Top Rank.
