Arlington, Texas - "Sugar" Shane Mosley spoke with BoxingScene.com to discuss his status with Golden Boy Promotions and to clear up some of the rumors being circulated on the internet. Mosley told BoxingScene that he is not signing a promotional agreement with Top Rank. While Mosley is still a partner in Golden Boy, he plans to fight outside of their promotional banner in order to get fights with Top Rank-promoted boxers.

Golden Boy and Top Rank have an ongoing rivalry which has escalated to the point where the two companies are not doing any business with each other. Without the involvement of Golden Boy in the promotion, Mosley is confident that he can reach an agreement with Top Rank to fight Manny Pacquiao, or possible rematches with Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito.

If a deal is reached for Mosley to face a Top Rank-promoted boxer, he plans to fight under his own personal promotional company.
