Why don't GBP promote an in-house megafight, JMM vs. Mosley?

[Quinito]

You have a valid point Xadu. But the real reason why JMM is moving up to 144 and fight Floyd is money, lots and lots of money. GBP is having trouble promoting the fight, and Mosley-Marquez would be 3x worse.

But Mosley won't be asking $15 million to fight JMM... I'm guessing $4 million is enough for Mosley or even $3 million since JMM only gets $3 million...

GBP gonna save $12 million in having Mosley fight JMM instead of PBF...

Or both JMM and Mosley can have $2M purse each...

Are you kidding me?? PBF - boxing's cash cow and JMM - Mexico's numero uno boxer, is not selling well??

I think JMM-Mosley will do well since it's from GBP, the best promoter in the business...

Lmfao!

Mosley would crush him. Even more of a loony matchup than Floyd Marquez. That's no diss on Marquez, just that Mosley can easily fight at 154 and is bigger than Floyd and has more power.

[SweetPea]

Why would Marquez want to face Mosley?

Mosley walks to the ring at 160 pounds, whereas Floyd only weighs in the high 140s on fight night. And Marquez would make less money against Mosley.

It's a big stretch for JMM, Even Pacquiao too.

Putting JMM against Hatton, now there ya promo!

Xadu,

Why are you so determined that the PBF/JMM fight not to go ahead?

You have created threads asking people to boycott the fight so that a PBF/Pac fight is more easily made, you have repeated neverending 'sources' about how badly the fight is doing in ticket & PPV sales (even though PPVs don't become available any more than 2 weeks before a fight) & now you're saying that JMM should just fight Mosley instead.

Otherwise you increasingly underplay JMM's chances & have called it as it was PBF vs Kid Thunder.

Is it because you want a PBF/Pac fight? (Which will still happen as long as both keep winning)

Or is it because you're worried that PBF might beat JMM more convincingly or that JMM beats PBF, and either way the winner may have better negotiating power against Pac & also may take the P4P #1 crown?

Seriously XB, stop tryna push agendas

Xadu,

Why are you so determined that the PBF/JMM fight not to go ahead?

I'm just exploring the possibilities... PBF is "injured"... JMM might not wait for PBF to heal and go ahead fight someone else... It could be Mosley... An easy megafight to make since both are GBP boys... PAC and Cotto are almost tied up for November 14... GBP hopefully should give us another mega match-up in JMM-Mosley with winner facing winner of PAC-Cotto... Isn't it great possibility?? BTW, forget Floyd... He better retire again...

Hmmmnnn...


Otherwise you increasingly underplay JMM's chances & have called it as it was PBF vs Kid Thunder.

PBF has millions of advantages over JMM... PBF was initially installed as 4 to 1 favorite... PBF robbed JMM with him taking $15M of the purse and leaving only $3M to the poor JMM (83/17 purse split )... Call this fight what you want but I call it unfair, mismatch, tune-up fight...


Is it because you want a PBF/Pac fight? (Which will still happen as long as both keep winning)

Yes I love to see the day PAC slice and dice PBF's "Pretty Boy" face... I said that before but with all this PBF's recent antics, I want him to retire again so he won't mess the existing excellent match-ups at 147/140...


Or is it because you're worried that PBF might beat JMM more convincingly or that JMM beats PBF, and either way the winner may have better negotiating power against Pac & also may take the P4P #1 crown?

I don't care whatever the result of this PBF-JMM fight if it will eventually pushes through... In the first place I expected this fight to turn out as a boring tactical chess match between 2 master counterpunchers... I'm not really that interested with this fight, much more with the result...


Seriously XB, stop tryna push agendas

Mate, I just want to discuss these possibilities here... BTW what's "tryna"??

They should have occasional tournaments like other sports do.

Seriously, you got your own board created just so you could push your agendas there, but it's not long before you are back 'trying' to push your Pac agenda. Why not just create this in the Pacquiao forum? Mosley is quite a bit bigger than PBF & uses his strength more when fighting so it would be way more of a physical mismatch.

You quote all these facts & figures, yet the general split reported in the press is 75-25. Although obviously Ring magazine & ESPN must be the ones having it wrong not you

The fact that you constantly push an agenda, particularly with Mayweather & Marquez, annoy me way more than all the Pac threads about Pac turning up to some awards ceremony. Not that you have any care what effect you have on others on the forum

This is not a PAC agenda... Im asking why GBP can't make JMM-Mosley fight... Mosley stated that he can go down to 143/144 so this can be an equalizer for JMM for Mosley's physical advantages...


You quote all these facts & figures, yet the general split reported in the press is 75-25. Although obviously Ring magazine & ESPN must be the ones having it wrong not you

I've read PBF will get $15M and also read from ESPN that JMM will get $3M plus (they're not specific how much is the plus)... Even if JMM gets $4M, it won't be a 75-25 split... It is something like 79-21 split...

I care... I've been a member of many boxing forums but I selected Saddo as my homebase as of recent since I found that most members here do respect each other... Unfortunately there's always some bad ones that you will be constantly attacked whatever you post... Actually we can objectively discuss boxing here... We just have to accept that we agree to disagree on some issues without going personal... Just pure boxing discussions and some fun...

As a boxing fan, do I have really to force myself get interested in a fight that I perceived to turn out as a boring fight? As a boxing fan, I think I still have personal choices to which fights to watch or not...

Well put ..... BINGO ....... I was wondering the same thing. If the fight had actually been staged and JMM beat PBF he should by all rights deserved the bigger share in the 3rd match. Beating the unbeaten PBF would be a larger feat that Pac beating weight drained ODLH and a soon tobe drained Cotto. We all know how Pac huggers claim that the 2nd fights delay was JMM's fault. Common sense will tell you that he had no choice but to take on John for less money. JMM was the champion at that time so why should he have had to take the lesser sum? Yet now Pac fans say he has the rights to dictate the terms now ? Seems like a contradiction ....
