I mean, if a guy can't get a fanbase after destroying the unstoppable "real" champion, then destroying another alphabet champ in Berto, he will never be.
Is it that Mosley just doesn't have any fans? I don't know how that could be. I mean, at the time, DLH-Mosley 2 was the second highest grossing non-HW fight.... I know DLH was in the fight, but after 2 hot knockouts, how is Mosley fighting on WCB?
Does HBO think Mosley will steamroll through Berto? I think this is the case. They must think Mosley is going on to somtheing bigger, or else they would make it a PPV fight and cash out on both fighters.
Mosley just never gets his worth. Its always been that way. How do you go from fighting Oscar at Staples Center on a PPV to the Theatre at MSG against Antonio Diaz? Maybe its just bad management, his father probably told him to take any fight out there any time or something.
end of rant.
watching some old mosley fights at 135 makes u wonder how he would have did against pac and floyd all in their prime at that weight.
i aint worried about somebody's fanbase but if pac and shane fought at the staples center,it would be automatic sellout and ppv success.
Pac & Floyd are super names now so they will sell big against anyone and they will be even bigger after they fight eachother. Mosley is not a big name but he is a solid name so yes he would sell big with either guy but he's only going to get like 30% if that. Mosley is just not a big name though. Like you said, he fought Oscar twice and still isnt a big name. Add to that alot of people thought he lost the 2nd Oscar fight and had 5 other losses so it brought the luster down.
I dont think HBO thinks Mosley will kill Berto. I think they feel that its a great fight for both guys and they come out good no matter who wins because they can do alot with both fighters. Still, if Floyd wins and Mosley crashes the party again then that would be a mega fight
doesnt matter who he fights and at what weight. pac can fill up venues by fighting just anybody.
pac-mosley would be like pac-cotto in term of tickets sales and PPV buys
