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...

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.
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
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
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 ....
