As to why the Manny Pacquiao Vs Chris Algieri Live Stream will be happening outside of the United States, there are pleanty of rumors surrounding that, but the closest is one that is due to Top Rank's aversion to high tax rates. According to International Business Times, "Pacquiao is expected take home a purse exceeding $20 million thanks to the Venetian Macau putting up a major fee to host the fight, one that evidently couldn't be matched by a Las Vegas casino, where Pacquiao fought 10 out of 12 times from 2007 to 2012. Even with such an exorbitant fee and possibly 200 million to 300 million Chinese watching for free, the fight will actually be held in the early afternoon local Macau time. Boxing and Pacquiao fans in the U.S. will get to tune in to HBO Pay-Per-View's live broadcast at the typical start time of 9 pm ET. HBO did the same for Pacquiao's first Macau fight against Brandon Rios back in Nov. 2013."
The chosen judges for the fight will be the following (also taken from International Business Times):
Michael Pernick
Another veteran with more than 20 years of experience, Pernick has previously judged three of Pacquiao's fights, including his highly controversial split-decision loss to Timothy Bradley in 2012. But when Pacquiao got his revenge over Bradley in a unanimous decision in April of this year, Pernick was also one of the judges.
Levi Martinez
Martinez was part of the crew that awarded Pacquaio a unanimous decision over Ghana's Joshua Clottey in 2010. Earlier this year, fans weren't so much displeased with his scorecard giving Canelo Alvarez a victory over Erislandy Lara, but by how big a margin he scored the fight in Alvarez's favor, according to Boxing Insider.
Patrick J. Morley
The only judge to never to work with Pacquiao or Algieri, Morley's been a judge since 2009 according to BoxingRec. Perhaps trying to catch up to his colleagues in overall experience, Morley's judged 42 fights this year. He's also a lawyer and former police officer, and co-authored "Third Man In The Ring", a book on boxing's best referees.
