Had Pacman not have signed, what are the chance Pac-Mosley woulda come off?
Mosely was pretty damn keen on fighting Manny, said he'd be willing to do a catch weight, would not stipulate over the top drug testing, he'd be the bigger man to more of a degree than with May, and would be beating the #1 p4p.
Just seems like things could have panned out differently had circumstances been different...discuss....
No way. You saw what GBP said about JMM wanting 50/50 for a Pac fight. That tells you right there they are saying that no one in GBP is getting a Pac fight before Floyd. They would never let Shane get that fight 1st, no matter how much bad blood it would cause within its own ranks. Floyd is the cash cow and they know it
floyd, cash cow? lol
floyd - mosley won't surpass pac-cotto in sales. pac and cotto have big fan base, floyd only got 7 and shane, not so much.
No way. Clottey is still smarting from the Cotto decision that went against him. He also missed out on a fight with Shane. Arum needed to do something to appease Clottey. If the Floyd fight wasn't going to happen it made perfect sense for Arum to match 2 of his guys against each other. With Berto pulling out Shane was a possibility, but that requires Arum to share the wealth. It's all in the house if he did Pac-Clottey instead.
The whole issue with drug testing probably would have made things tricky. Without that I think Mosely was still damn keen on Pac, I mean he seemed desperate awhile back.
Plus, imagine if May signed to fight someone before Pac, and it was Pac whom had the option to face Mosley with the Berto drop out.
If Mosley really pushed it, made a few sacrifices financially and stuff, I think a deal could have been ironed out.

In my opinion, Pac vs Mosley > Pac vs any other fighter (yes, including May)
Exciting class fighters in an all-out, tactical slugfest
Imagine that in the Cowboy Stadium....
