That's my take so far, half the reason promoters exist(to anyone’s benefit) is to make sure things like this don't happen. They obviously way overvalued the fight, made a guarantee they couldn't honour and yet people want to blame a guy who's been getting beat up for a living the last few years for all this. Is it possible Shane knew this could happen and wasn't opposed to the idea all along? Sure, but that doesn't mean he hoped for it, nor does it make him a scumbag imo. Who wouldn't take some crooked promoters money if they are giving it away. Even if Jeff Fenech mortgaged his house to cut Shane a personal cheque the blame still lies elsewhere as Mosley had nothing to do with reimbursing his expenses in any case and neither of them would've seen their money whether the fight went on or not
