Man I Hope This Isn't True - "Floyd Balks at Mosley Fight"

[skel1983]

Doesnt suprise me one bit, shame if it's true. but Mayweather's welterweight reign is pretty poor in reality.

I'm a bit hesitant about believing this cause the money seems off to me, I seriously doubt he's only getting 10 million for fighting Mosley, while its not a Pacquaio fight it should do somewhere around 1.5 million buys.

If this is true Floyd is gonna p**s off alot of people, no 1 can defend him if he does this.

I think you're underestimating some of his fans

I would still be surprised if it doesn't come off.

As I've said before, the fight with Mosley is a high risk low reward fight. If Floyd were to lose he could lose up to 40 million for a fight with Pacquiao. Plus if he were to win most critics will say he beats an inactive old man in Shane. Damn if he does, damn if he doesn't. Might as well sit out and wait for Pac. Boxing after all is a business.

Floyd is the top p4p boxer in the world and he needs to start acting like it and taking challenges. A fight with a Shane is not a high risk low reward fight; it's a high risk high reward fight. Beating Shane makes a big statement. In addition, it is the biggest money fight out there other than Pacquiao for Floyd. It is the only fight out there for Floyd.

Mr Bulldog.. I complete agree with Rant here. Mosley has only been beaten by Cotto since moving back down to welter a couple years ago. And ALL his losses are arguably to future hall of famers. This will be the biggest test of Floyds career by about 4x since travelling north of 135lbs.

I think Mosley should rematch Margarito in the meantime and detach his brain from his skull. Why not? They could make it a cage match!!! He could basically send him into retirement like Vargas.

Ya, who cares about being a peoples champ? Screw the fans that want to see the fight, the ones that allow you to make a living in the first place. screw all of them, boxing is a business........

"What you mean he agree to the test?"

[Zilla]

I'm a Floyd fan and I do understand that from a financial sense. If he fights and loses to Shane, no Pac fight. If he fights and loses to Pac, he can still fight Shane. That being said, I'd still be pissed if he didn't take the risk and fight Mosley.

[OumaFan]

Who's gonna give in on a Floyd-Manny fight? Doesn't make sense to wait for a Manny fight unless Floyd has decided that he'll give in on the testing cause I don't see anything that would make me think Manny will.

[littlebif]

I like Floyd but how can you excuse him, if he doesnt take the fight

If he is as good as he makes out and the best he has to prove it some time against the top fighters in the division and one of them is Shane Mosley.

[JonnyFolds]

I am so surprised.

I`ve been A big fan of PBF,but if he does not take this fight with Shane then I`am done with him!

I thought that - I'm sitting back anxiously to see if this fight goes ahead. I hope it's as Jaz says and Marley is being an attention whore again..
