Mayweather:Mosley has been ducking me for 10 years
frustrating it is always about the money.. I do understand it but i just wish sometimes they would do it for the hardcore fans.
The money talk drives me crazy
Easy to say when it's not you facing someone who has trained for the last few months with the express intention of rendering you unconscious. Plus the big money fights are normally "big" for the precise reason that "hardcore fans" are willing to shell out for PPV because of the interest in the fight. If Margarito keeps winning then he will gets the fights he deserves, should we just express clear him into the big time because we're "hardcore" fans? Mosley probably deserves a last pop at the big time. Although he will lose either by a landslide decision or late KO.Quote:

8 millions seems a bit high for the Magarito fight. As in fairly astronomical. But I don't know any different so if what you say is right then I can't argue. I would agree with you as although i'm a fan of PBF purely on an aesthetic level, his character is definitely grating. I think as fight fans that we like to think that our heroes are doing it for the love of the game etc, but were we in their shoes we'd probably be gravitating to the biggest cheque every time. All it takes is a bad day at the office and who knows what could happen. Mind you, it makes it worthwhile when people like PBF adopt this kind of attitude and eventually lose. Although I can't see that happening any time soon.
Apparently it is $8m. I find that bizarre that PBF wouldn't take that, especially considering he is all about the money. Not many other fights out there for him which will justify such a price tag. Plus, even though Mosley probably warrants a last swansong, it hardly gets me excited.

Wheras a die-hard fan will watch just about anything - and Margarito is certainly a match up that all us forum visitors would snap up.
I believe that his excuse for not facing a 'ready to roll' Maragrito is wafer thin.
He could make more money in that fight than any previous fight and still goes calling out guys who have fought only days ago - knowing full well they wont commit until they have had a rest and holiday and are thinking fresh again.
What is the point in that?
someone answer me why a fighter would call out someone, who at best would take 4 months to get his prep together to fight again? - especially there is a deal on the table for mega bucks!!
I think it answers itself personally.
I really doubt Shane has been ducking PBF for 10 years tbh with you. I mean imagine a 18 year old fighting a PRIME Mosley he would get steamrolled. Anyways im happy to see PBF fight either Margarito, Hatton, ODLH or Mosley but i will not settle for a Kermit Cintron fight.
When were Floyd and Mosley ever fighting at the same weight division.... Ever.. Mosley jumped up to 147 2 YEARS before Floyd wen't up to 135... So basically Floyd is full of crap.
floyd is full of shyt...he wants to fight the BEST...if the best he wants he should fight winky then...because winky whoop mosley twice already...and last i heard floyd don't want no part of winky, even if winky would come down weight just to fight lito floyd...floyd is full of crap...his just picking on mosley so the attention about him ducking tony will hopefully die down...
ducking him for 10 years...that alone is a overstatement...mosley should fight him...knock him cold...expose how good he really ain't...
the walls are closing in on floyd fast...desperation setting in...calling out mosley who just got done with vargas...floyd is prolly bluffing knowing already mosley won't fight til next year...he'll call him out so he won't look like a b1tch that he is...
just fight tony...theres no one else...your trap in a corner lito floyd...

Mayweather and more importantly HBO are waiting on the winner of Baldomir - Gatti that is why he is rated no.1 with the WBC. Hopefully Baldomir wins in emphatic fashion so with Zab, Gatti and the WBC belt HBO have found Floyd a dance partner for November. I don't mind at all because it gives us a legit lineal Champion.
So Mosley's been ducking Mayweather since he was 19? ::**
WHY DO BOXERS NEED LIKE 4 MONTHS TO RECOVER/PREP???
Wanderlei silva is in the semi finals of the open weight tournament at PRIDE FC, if he goes through, he WILL FIGHT AGAIN A MONTH LATER IN THE FINALS...THEN HE HAS ANOTHER HUGE FIGHT A MONTH LATER IN SOMEONE ELSE'S TURF...
i aint talking 3 little fights in 3 months, i am talking 3 MASSIVE FIGHTS IN 3 MONTHS, DANGEROUS FIGHTS, CAREER DEFINING FIGHTS. EQUIVALENT OF - RICKY HATTON FIGHTING MAYWEATHER JR, COTTO AND MARGARITO ALL IN 3 MONTHS.
i love boxing, infact i box as an amatuer, but these things about boxing pis me off reall bad. we need more james toney's ;D who will fight any body anywhere any weight.
