y Eric Thomas: According to Michael Marley of Examiner.com, unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. isn’t moving forward with his fight with World Boxing Association welterweight champion Shane Mosley. Marley states that a source within the Mayweather camp says that Floyd has added up what he’d likely make in his bout with Mosley, which is $10 million, and compared it to the $40 million that he’d get in a fight with the smaller Manny Pacquiao and sees that as the easier fight compared to Mosley.
Apparently, the Mayweather camp are busy discussing whether it will be worth it to take the tough fight against Mosley for the smaller money or wait on a fight against Pacquiao for a much bigger payday without as much risk involved. I can certainly understand why Mayweather might not want to fight Mosley. If Mayweather loses the fight, he destroys his chance for a big money fight against Pacquiao. In addition, say what you will about Pacquiao being the best fighter in all of boxing, but he’s smaller than Mosley and not a true welterweight. Pacquiao, with his aggressive, some say reckless, style of fighting, he’s the type of fighter that Mayweather has always done well against.
