HUNGRY FOR GLORY
Watch Pacquiao vs. Algieri live stream online on MMA Fighting, starting at 7 p.m. ET for early action and HBO’s pre-fight show from Macau.
Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (56-5-2) will try to defend his WBO welterweight title at the Venetian Macao which he re-claim after defeating Timonthy “Desert Storm” Bradley via unanimous decision in his last trip in the ring, winning the WBO welterweight title this past April.
Pacquiao won two straight fights against Bradley and Rios respectively, after being knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez and losing a split decision to Bradley.
Christopher Algieri (20-0) has yet to lose in his pro boxing career, and earned the WBO light welterweight title with a convincing split-decision win against Ruslan “The Siberian Rocky” Provodnikov in June.
Pacquiao reportedly guaranteed $20 million purse for this fight, while Algieri will take $1.5 million more or less.
