Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Mosley Possible at 148, For WBC 154 Title

[adp023]

Shane made 147 this year so how is it so hard to make 148? On top of that he is not a junior middleweight and has looked bad fighting natural junior middleweights when he weighted higher such as Mora and Wright. This gives Pac NO advantage other than making Mosley come in at his natural weight.

This story wreaks of Jose Sulaiman and the WBC wanting to get PAID for a world title sanctioning fee OR Shane is negotiating the fight to happen between 148-154. Pac's team would never offer to fight over 147 because like you said, it's a disadvantage to Pac.

It looks like Pac is trying to make the fight at 147 with NO Title (so they don't have to pay any sanctioning fees), but Mosley and the WBC are objecting for their own different reasons. Mayweather-Mosley was at 147 with NO Title at stake as well. Those are the terms Pac is gunning for.

why fight at 148? He just fought at 150LB.... they should fight at that weight

[npad69]

Dude. How can Pacquiao have any supporters left???

thats because hes always still around fighting and not in some vacation beating women and face-poking mall cops when their bluffs are called. your question should be directed to *****s here.

A quote from Floyd's boyfriend Leonard Ellerbe is your overwhelming piece of evidence???? lol

Don't be ridiculous kid, what an incredibly childish way to view an official press release from Team Mayweather. TEAM MAYWEATHER publicly stated that there were no official negotiations involving Haymon, Schaefer, or Ellerbe.....
http://sports.yahoo.com/box/blog/box...urn=box-257098

Ellerbe had to say that LIE because Haymon didn't have the balls to say it!! If Haymon said "no negotiations", it would be a LAWSUIT waiting to happen!!!

TEAM MAYWEATHER publicly stated that there were no official negotiations involving Haymon, Schaefer, or Ellerbe.....
http://sports.yahoo.com/box/blog/box...urn=box-257098

Haymon absolutely did concur that there were no official negotiations, the press release was from Team Mayweather, and directly quoted Haymon..... "Either Ross Greenburg or Bob Arum is not telling the truth, but history tells us who is lying"

What a ***wit you are kid, I have even provided you with proof that Arum is lying, and I challenged you to answer my question..... but you put your head back up your arse, refused to answer the question, and then insisted that errand boy Greenburg held an official negotiation without any of the parties being present

You Manny fan's are a joke.

Ellerbe was NOT a party to the negotiations!! So he is free to say ANYTHING HE WANTS WITHOUT LEGAL CONSEQUENCES!! Ellerbe had no direct contact with Arum or Greenberg. So he can claim being "misinformed" by Haymon and Golden Boy, if the truth comes out!

It was an official Team Mayweather press release you fkn clown.

What a whiney arsewipe you are.

You have directly ignored proof that Bob Arum is lying, and then you try to ignore an official press release involving 6 people, belonging to 3 completely different business organisations, each of those people having first-hand information - 4 of whom would be ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL to that fight being made - ALL, categorically stating that..... "there were no official negotiations" !!

HAYMON negotiated using Greenberg as the middleman. Arum & Greenberg confirmed it!!! If Haymon wasn't talking to Greenberg, then he could expose them and slap HBO & Top Rank with a lawsuit for lying!! But Haymon couldn't say **** without incriminating himself, so Floyd got his boyfriend Ellerbe to make up "no negotiations"!!!

Instead of ignoring facts, and taking lollies from an old scoundrel who has been doing this for 40 years..... answer my question, you dopey flag-waving idiot.....

Team Mayweather, including 6 people, belonging to 3 completely different business organisations publicly stated that Arum was lying.....

Here is proof that all of those people were correct.....

HERE IS BOB ARUM LYING TO YOU.....
Bob Arum publicly stated on numerous occasions that he personally negotiated a deal with GBP, who forwarded it to Mayweather for approval. Then he placed a two week " deadline " on the table, even going to the trouble of putting a count-down timer on the Top Rank website.....

HERE IS BOB ARUM ADMITTING IT.....
Then, after Bob Arum's conference call, Schaefer immediately released a statement which forced Arum to admit that both him and Ross Greenburg had NEVER spoken with anyone from GBP.....
http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=29324

THE DEADLINE WAS A SHAM !!

Explain to me how it is even slightly possible for an official negotiation to have taken place, when Arum was forced to admit that he faked a negotiation and then slapped a deadline on it?

You idiot kid. How is your mommy gonna cope if your Manny-doll ever get's broken? She will have a real mess to clean up huh?

Grow up kid, I even provided you with a link showing why Arum lied.

But, I guess you ignored that as well

Manny fan's..... dragging their standards around on the floor

You kiddin, they won't allow the possibility that Shane could get an advantage.

It only works the other way with Pacquiao, that's why JMM has to go to 147.

You're right, but you can get away with making those demands when you're on top. Mayweather got away with that **** against an old and inactive Mosley.

Haymon absolutely did concur that there were no official negotiations, the press release was from Team Mayweather, and directly quoted Haymon..... "Either Ross Greenburg or Bob Arum is not telling the truth, but history tells us who is lying"

From the Yahoo article: "Here are the facts," said Mayweather spokesperson Leonard Ellerbe. "Al Haymon, Richard Schaefer and myself speak to each other on a regular basis and the truth is no negotiations have ever taken place nor was there ever a deal agreed upon by Team Mayweather or Floyd Mayweather to fight Manny Pacquiao on November 13. Either Ross Greenburg or Bob Arum is not telling the truth, but history tells us who is lying."

Seriously, do you know how to READ??? OMG LOL Those are ALL QUOTES FROM LEONARD ELLERBE!!! Ellerbe even referred to himself in the quote, saying "myself"!!! Nowhere in that statement is there a quote from Haymon!!! Are you seriously that ******??? A spokesman, lawyer, publicist or anyone that wasn't there can say anything and NOT be litigated for lying or perjury!!

Notice that 2 of the 3 ACTUAL negotiating parties (Arum & Greenburg) made statements on their own behalf, BUT HAYMON DID NOT!!! He could NOT...because then there would be documented proof that he LIED for saying "no negotiations"!!

Most of the people here reacted as if the contract was already signed and the conditions were all agreed upon.

I don't like catchweights, but the commission allows it, the sanctioning bodies allow it..and even the fighters agree on it. So why cry over this?

141-147lbs = WW division, 147 being the limit.
148-154lbs = JMW division, 154 being the limit.

if and when both parties agree on it to make the fight a possibility then why not?

Fighters know their bodies well, if they can make the weight they'll agree and sign the papers. Besides, Mosley and Mayweather fought at WW(147lbs).

[MaD RoBoT]

im a Pac fan but this is plain ******

those sanctioning body greedy bastards!

[Horvo]

So now that we know the fight will actually be at 147, that doesn't change anything. Just the fact that there were rumors about it being at a catchweight has me in shock. They are making a joke out of boxing! This is the worst thing that has ever happened to the sport. I don't know how anyone can want to watch Pacquiao fight anymore, with the way Bob Arum is and the way he acts and what he does to boxing. Wake up people!
