Re: Mayweather v Mosley nearly done for May 1st 2010
Wow. I'm almost as excited about this as I was for Pac vs PBF. I mean Pac's a better fighter, in his red hot prime and his in and out weaving style sort of reminds me of Duran...in that its essentially offensive but still serves a defensive purpose.
But Mosely is arguably more dangerous at welterweight. He's natural at this weight and we all know it just takes one punch to change the complexion of a fight. Only Williams would be a braver fight for PBF IMO, b/c of his Hearns like height and reach advantage as well as the remarkable quantity of punches he throws. But fighting Mosley puts an end to the myth of PBF as dodger. This is the way a brave fighter behaves.
In comparison, Clottey vs Pac seems lame. Clotty is a terific fighter but he's not in Mosely's class, having just lost to a man who was destoyed by Pac, and who was never the same after being plastered by Margarito.

i just read this from examiner:
A solid source inside Team Floyd Mayweather has just informed me that Money May is balking at fighting Sugar Shane Mosley and that is the reason for the holdup on the announcement of a May 1 or a May 8 bout between the two American ring stars.
“Floyd did the math and Floyd is saying, why should I take a potentially difficult bout against Mosley for $10 million or less when I get $40 million or more to fight Manny Pacquiao and that could be an easier fight to win,” the in the know person said Saturday night.

Isn't the Examiner like the NY Daily Post, National Enquirer, People magazine. You know a tabloid rag?

I find it hard to believe he'd only make a quarter the money fighting Mosely that he would make fighting Pac.

i think its half not quarter. the $40 million mentioned is including ppv share ($20m guaranteed + $20m estimated from ppv)
Re: Mayweather v Mosley nearly done for May 1st 2010
I think until it's signed sealed and delivered we should perpetuate rumors about Mayweather fighting Ivan Calderon.

That's hilarious.
Re: Mayweather v Mosley nearly done for May 1st 2010
I can see no issues that can derail this fight at all.
Not unless Mayweather pulls his stuff again. Who knows, he's so smart for everybody I guess.
Here are possible demands of Mayweather to Mosley
Weight limit 147lbs
Gloves - 10
Purse - 35/65 for Floyd
Urine test (NSAC administered)
Blood test (Olympic style)
I see all these are OK with Mosley so theres no reason at all that this fight wont happen.
If I think like Mayweather I would ask another demand:
Mosley should have 100 fire ants up inside his underwear come fight night. If he disagrees then theres no fight. :D

i think those demands are ok with mosley maybe except with the 35/65 split. mosley is the only acceptable option left for floyd and he could very well demand a 50-50 split (minimum of 45)

Thats crap. 35% of a fight with Mayweather would make Mosely way more than 50%-60% versus just about anybody else. Name another fighter active today and available that would make Mosely as much as Floyd. It goes both ways.

didn't mosley settled with berto until the haiti calamity happened? mosley not all for the money as evidenced in agreeing to fight berto. mosley can settle with cotto rematch, margarito rematch or maybe quintana.

You do realise you just conradicted yourself. You said Mosely may ask for more money, then said he dont care about money. Hmmm

it only shows mosley can settle for less money if he wants to but here's a chance to make a killing and milk floyd for more money so i still think mosley will grab that opportunity.
how do you feel if someone said in the past that he won't fight you coz youre not a household name, not a ppv material? then that someone added that youre a drug cheat? isn't it this is the time for revenge for that someone?
