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

"I fight for cheques not legacy"

"Kids can't eat legacy. Cheques is more important. I'm already a legend in the sport. I'm already an icon in the sport. I fight for me first. When my career is done, I can't go to my fans and say, 'I need you to pay my light bills. I need you to put my kids in college.' I have responsibility to take care of my family in the long run. What's most important now is the cheques, 'cause I'm in the cheque cashing business."

I don't know why people are always in such a rush to blast a fighter during negotiations. Nothing is final yet. Then again I guess if we couldn't blast a fighter on questionable grounds this forum would be made up of the prediction contest and Missy's internet dating.

Mosley has now been inactive for over a year, not good for a 38 year old! Floyd is a joke, he won't fight Pacman, he balks at Mosley, he won't touch Williams, just who does he want to fight? People on this forum were at times cruel with their criticism of DLH, at least he fought everyone out there! Boxing is losing big time with this BS.

you know that there still is no official word of this being true right? and you know that the one who walked away from the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight was Manny, right?

i mean i'm just checking, cause if you buy into half the crap that Zbolt (Xadu) and his horde have been posting (without any real sources either), then it's really sad

Lot's of posters have posted things without any credible source and it's been 100% true, you just never know really.

And I'm sure many times it can be 100% false. I think the point is that we should not act like a thing is true when it hasn't been confirmed. So, everyone just remain calm.

Actions speak louder than words, so we will see, but Floyd will be trying to worm out of the fight with Shane, he must be gutted that Shane's fight was cancelled, as he has no excuses not to fight Shane.

None.Who else is he going to fight?Matthew Hatton...(thats sarcasm btw Floyd).We'll see,Floyds glorious at patting himself on the back and getting reactions.Hope all we have is a good kick up before they actually put pen to paper.This politicing wears thin.

the fans, the boxing community is pressuring floyd and i think it will continue unless floyd faces a tough opponent.

first the fight of the century, the pacquiao-floyd fight was demanded by fans to be made but floyd was insisting on new rules on drug testing that became the root cause of the fight falling apart.

now the fans/boxing community is pushing floyd to fight mosley. floyd stucked and pinned in the corner and if he still finds ways to duck this fight then he'll be criticize further

I think the reason why these rumors has been coming out is because of the delay in the signing for the fight. Mosley is desperate to have this fight that he may accept whatever terms Mayweather will put in front of him as long as they're not ridiculously insulting. They are both under GBP so the negotiations should run smoothly. And Floyd, being noted for his grandstanding, would have immediately grabbed the opportunity to take the limelight away from Pacquiao by making the fight happen. What then is holding it up?
Like what i said in the other thread, I also sense that Mayweather is going to sit out this fight (and no, I'm not a psychic nor a Jedi). If Manny loses, then he would attain the P4P title without even fighting. If Manny wins, then he should accept the fight as per Manny's terms (blood draw 24 days before the fight). This is a win-win situation for him.
If Floyd does decide to fight Mosley then I'll give him credit for that. But until then, let the rumors continue.....

Let me guess...
This came from Mayweather.
He fight Chicks for Cheques men

Funny, how that entire article seems like a fake whereas this one comes from Oscar himself today.

De La Hoya expects Floyd Mayweather to fight Mosley, eventually meet Pacquiao - News1130

He is saying both camps are already talking and trying to make the fight happen. So I find it hard to believe that just yesterday Floyd Mayweather and his camp were sitting around as Floyd "calculated" the money he'd make with a Mosley fight and ultimately came to 10 million. Seriously how gullible are people sometimes? When Mayweather sat down and calculated how much he'd make against Marquez do you think he thought he'd make more money then he did with Mosley? Mayweather isn't stupid, he's very business savvy so there's pretty much no way he'd "calculate" a Shane Mosley fight for 10 million and then his camp addressing it as a harder fight. Do you think they sat around and went "Well this guy has a shot to beat you, lets not fight him" I doubt that.

Anyway, when this fight is made, people that hate Floyd will say "watch he will find a way to pull out." Then when the fight happens they'll say "Watch him pull out at the last second" then when Floyd is beating Shane they will say "he needs to stand and fight he is running like a bitch!" then when he beats Shane they will say "Shane is old, he is ducking Pacquiao!"

Same old story, never ends.
