Pacquiao ready to accept Mosley's challenge

[C-Lo]

I'm reading 144 is the target catch weight and I'm also reading the money number coming out of Pacquiao's camp as a 60/40 split. I think it's a little one sided given Mosley's stature and the fact that it's the 147 belt on the line. Unless the mythical is not really mythical anymore. I'd hope to see Mosley do a little better than that in both cases. Although 143.5 is the halfway point between 140 and 147. If I were Mosley, I'd use the 60/40 as leverage to get the catchweight to move up another pound (145). "concessions"

I really think this fight should be at 145. Any lower would be a huge disadvantage towards Mosley and then the Pacquiao haters/discreditors would be able to dissect a Pacquiao win if he does.

I'm not surprised if Mosley would take a 60/40 split in Pac's favor. He said he doesn't care about the money and is just looking to fight the best and give the fans a fight they want to see. This only makes me respect Mosley that much more if I already didn't have the utmost amount.

Interesting. If they do fight in Oct., does this open the door for Floyd & Cotto to fight in the Fall as well & then the 2 winners meeting in a MEGA bout in 2010?

Floyd is in no way going to seek out a fight with Cotto. If he won't fight Mosley because he has 5 losses, isn't a PPV attraction, and can only sell out the Staples Center then he can easily say something about Cotto having just lost, isn't a PPV attraction as well, and can only sell out Madison Square Garden.

Just recently, between picking a fight with Marquez and his interview with Brian Kenny, I've gradually become less and less of a fan of Floyd's.

Good point about what he would say about Clottey!
