Mayweather v Mosley nearly done for May 1st 2010

[zbolt]

Bradley = acceptable
Martinez = acceptable
Williams = acceptable

you want me to go on holmes

williams = in negotiation with cintron

martinez = in negotiation with pavlik

bradley = so another smaller boxer cherrypicked by floyd. is bradley a better fight than mosley?

go on please

Williams & Martinez would drop everything to make the type of money they would from facing Floyd
Money just needs to say the word
You think Bradley is cherry picked
Dudes nutorious for fighting tough opposituon
Remember Floyd came up from 130

You think Bradley isn't just as good or better than Clottey, a guy coming of a loss to the man you just stopped

You should call yourself Xadu

But for thje record:
Foreman, Spinks, Angulo, Cintron, Berto, (dare I say Margarito), Khan, Maidana, Malignaggi

Floyd did huge numbers vs Marquez. Against any of these guys its a repeat!

floyd negotiating with williams or martinez? i wont believe it til i see floyd actually fighting either of the 2

go on please

Bradley is as good or better than Clottey, and a PBF v Bradley fight would make as much if not more than Pac v Clottey. So how is it a bad option?

i thought, i asked "is bradley a better fight than mosley?"

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.

I don't see any reason on Mosley's part as to why this fight would not go through unless the money split is ridiculously disadvantageous to him (like 75/25 or lower). I also don't think Floyd would put Shane in this situation, otherwise he will again be accused of trying to duck another worthy opponent. Shane is desperate enough to accept almost every terms that Floyd would request. Since the fight hasn't been signed yet, then what is holding it up?
Floyd is known for his grandstanding antics (I'm not saying here that this is necessarily bad). Since he can dictate the terms in the fight he would have grabbed any opportunity that will take the limelight away from the Pacquiao-Clottey fight & this is by the immediate announcement of his fight with Mosley. The fight could have been signed already since they have the same promoter or they could have leaked that it's almost a done deal. So why is it not all over the media (it's in a few) like what happened to the Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations? Is he really having second thoughts?
I feel the same way as another poster (I don't even recall if it's in this thread or another thread) who said that Floyd will likely sit it out & wait for the Pacquiao-Clottey fight so that he can again challenge Manny for more money. But my thoughts here is that he may try to win back the P4P title by not even fighting & this will happen if Manny loses.
For the good of boxing, I wish & hope that this is not the case & I will give Floyd the credit if his fight with Mosley does go through. I'd want to watch that fight.
Ps: Please don't be rough with a newbie.

I'm sure this fight gets made although I said that about Floyd Pacneedle. They're only arguing over money, they'll come to an agreement eventually.

your math sucks. the article mentioned floyd would get 10 million for the mosley fight then how would mosley get another 10 million? only if its a 50-50 purse split! 35% share would give mosley only 5 million

35% is slap to mosley, he should get 50-50 considering floyd already pushed in the corner and has mosley as the only option

That article is not fact dipshit! Who are the sources? 35% of the purse of a Mayeather v Mosely fight would be far greater than 5 million. 35% fighting Floyd would be far more than Mosely could make fighting any active fighter. You dont make sense at all. Floyd is not in a corner. Fighting any welter in the top 8 or a top nunior middle or a top junior welter would be as big a money fight as Pac Clottey. So how is he in a corner?

floyd stucked and pinned in the corner, he has no more lifelines. he already used the chicken, running and the duck

Nice graphics you got there dude.

I say Mayweather is on the pressure side right now. After the fall out of Pacman fight, he is now expected to make a even greater challenge for himself. Mosley is the perfect fight and a slap to pacman face -- but there is a huge, huge risk here. Last time I checked, Mayweather is allergic to risks.

There were news that Saul already signed for Golden Boy -- I can see Saul vs Floyd happening if Mosley fight goes kaput. We will all see Floyd beating the sh!t out of that basterd kid.
