Mayweather v Mosley nearly done for May 1st 2010

[InTheNeutralCorner]

i just read this from examiner:

A solid source inside Team Floyd Mayweather has just informed me that Money May is balking at fighting Sugar Shane Mosley and that is the reason for the holdup on the announcement of a May 1 or a May 8 bout between the two American ring stars.

“Floyd did the math and Floyd is saying, why should I take a potentially difficult bout against Mosley for $10 million or less when I get $40 million or more to fight Manny Pacquiao and that could be an easier fight to win,” the in the know person said Saturday night.

I don't see any reason on Mosley's part as to why this fight would not go through unless the money split is ridiculously disadvantageous to him (like 75/25 or lower). I also don't think Floyd would put Shane in this situation, otherwise he will again be accused of trying to duck another worthy opponent. Shane is desperate enough to accept almost every terms that Floyd would request. Since the fight hasn't been signed yet, then what is holding it up?
Floyd is known for his grandstanding antics (I'm not saying here that this is necessarily bad). Since he can dictate the terms in the fight he would have grabbed any opportunity that will take the limelight away from the Pacquiao-Clottey fight & this is by the immediate announcement of his fight with Mosley. The fight could have been signed already since they have the same promoter or they could have leaked that it's almost a done deal. So why is it not all over the media (it's in a few) like what happened to the Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations? Is he really having second thoughts?
I feel the same way as another poster (I don't even recall if it's in this thread or another thread) who said that Floyd will likely sit it out & wait for the Pacquiao-Clottey fight so that he can again challenge Manny for more money. But my thoughts here is that he may try to win back the P4P title by not even fighting & this will happen if Manny loses.
For the good of boxing, I wish & hope that this is not the case & I will give Floyd the credit if his fight with Mosley does go through. I'd want to watch that fight.
Ps: Please don't be rough with a newbie.

I'm sure this fight gets made although I said that about Floyd Pacneedle. They're only arguing over money, they'll come to an agreement eventually.
