Because Fernando Vargas got the NSAC to approve him using Gatorade instead of water during the fight. Shane is pissed saying that he should have been given notice so that he could have picked a drink to. Stupid shit, but it seems like Fernando never can do anything without some type of "help".
NSAC changed their rules saying that drinks other than water could be used. Its mosely's camps fault for him not knowing, I read about it last week. They should have been aware and paying attention to this things.
update from fightnews.com
Mosley KOs Gatorade!
Representatives of Shane Mosley today secured a court order today to prohibit Fernando Vargas from drinking Gatorade during their fight Saturday night in Las Vegas. Fighters on the undercard will be allowed to use sports drinks approved by the Nevada Commission.
It doesn't come into play until septemberQuote:

Could you imagine how pathetic it owuld be if a superfight like this didn't come together because of a drink?
Mosley could have mixed up some of that old Aaron Pryor juice for himself... does this sound like the talk of a confident man. Whats a drink gonna do. I thought Mosley would win a decision, but this sh*t makes me think is Mosley looking for a way out or just trying to get in Vargas' head?
I doubt it's Mosley so much as it is Mosley's camp. But in any case it's ridiculous.Quote:

Nothing really. gatorade restores elextrolytes in yourself when you drink it so it helps replenish and rehydrate you better then water.
What the heck is Shane worried about then? On another note,how cocky has Mosley been in interviews etc! I don't like Vargas but I really hope he wins,it doesn't sound like Shane is taking him seriously at all!Quote:

Shane sounds the same way in every interview, I want Shane to win because as cocky as he is I can't stand the "warrior" Vargas complaning about headbutts and making excuses ::**Quote:

Lovely, at least Mosley saved Vargas that embarrassment. I still take Mosley via the long root
DLH made a pretty good point. I mean in corners water gets all over the gloves right? Well what about Gatorade? What if that gets on the gloves? It's going to be a sticky mess and could end up causing a cut or something. Though, as I know from football, gatorade works wonders with second winds. I REALLY do think it makes a difference. Don't even need to think, it's been proven. But how much? I mean boxers spit water out mostly right? How much would he really drink?
Not enough to make a difference...Quote:

I must believe that any double entendre or innuendo there is purely accidental, and that you were entirely referring to his gatorade intake.Quote:

I used to always prefer a nice cold lager before a punch up! helped take the sting out the hits I inevitably took!!
