Berto Mosley Off?

[CFH]

If Shane beats Floyd, and I'm using the word if here, it takes a lot of shine and momentum off a possible fight with Pacman. Does it still look that interesting for the general public if Floyd loses and he fights Pacman down the line? It's a high risk and monetarily a low reward kind of fight. From a business point of view he would be better off fighting a less dangerous fighter for a tune up and then wait for a showdown with Pacman. The fight will happen later more than likely.

Of course as a fight fan I would like to see the fight, but from a business point of view it's a high risk factor.

If Shane actually beat Floyd, then he would stand to be in just as big a fight with Manny in my eyes... I can't imagine that Mosley wouldn't be the draw that Floyd currently is if he were to pull off that upset.

Exactly. Now think about it, if Shane beats Floyd, it's Shane-Pacman that the public wants to see really bad now, because that aura of invincibility of FLoyd is gone. Floyd would lose upwards of 40-60 million for a Pacman fight if he loses to Shane. Hence why I said high risk, low reward type of fight. Business wise it doesn't make sense to fight Shane at this point. From a boxing point of view, yes it would be a great fight, but monetarily it could cost Floyd tens of millions if Shane pulls an upset.

I guess I see what you mean there, but if Floyd was so concerned about the money, why didn't he just take the Pacquiao fight then? After all the bullshit surrounding the steroid claims, I can't see either side giving in to the others demands anytime soon. Sad as it is, I think Pac - PBF may be DOA.
