Berto Mosley Off?

[generalbulldog]

How is Shane Mosley, coming off a blow out of who was at the time considered the best welterweight in the world a low reward fighter? Will some people say he was too old? Sure, but some people will say anything in an attempt to discredit a fighter. Aside from Pacquiao, there is no one Floyd could fight who would be a higher reward.

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.
