Mayweather-Mosley- Is it Pushing Through?

patience my boy. If you think about it the only time they give us negociation info is when it's negative. The quietness is a good sign

Mayweather insists on olympic style testing. Mosley agrees to it. A May 1 date seems to be reserved for the fight. So its not the date. Las Vegas is the only option for Mayweather, and MGM Grand seems to be the top choice, so its not the place. Mosley would be willing to receive a lower share just to fight Mayweather. But how low? Could this be one of the issues? Guaranteed Purse demand of Mayweather. Considering it is not going to be anywhere near a fight with Pacquiao, demanding a too big guaranteed amount may be another cause. I don't see anything else except MONEY that could be holding back this fight from becoming a reality.

What so if Boxrec doesn't have it on then it wont happen? Come on now, I am not saying it will or wont but thats a rubbish reason. Boxrec would list a fighter's tentative next fight even if it hasnt been finalized yet. If ever it changes, boxrec would also change. In this case, neither fighter in boxrec has a future fight listed.

As I said before money will be the issue here. Floyd will price himself out. I hope i'm wrong. I doubt this since Mosely was begging for the Pac fight last year even willing to do a 70-30 split and fighting at 140... if it falls through it would be fore something ridiculous..

LOL @ thread title

I think this fight makes too much sense to not happen especially after the Pac fight fell through for May.. IT should be anounced within the next 3 weeks..

if they dont announce this fight soon, i think they will on March 12 or around before that date...

As I tell people all the time, it takes most big fights a month or 2 to get signed. Berto just pulled out yet everyone think it has to be made immediatly when the fight isnt until May 1st. They arent fighting in March. These are 2 big guys and they dont want one to get over on the other. This isnt Don King pimping cats. This isnt Bob Arum making Clottey sign a crazy contract with only 1mil guaranteed. Both cats think they have the upper hand because they think the other guy doesnt have any choice but to fight them so they are trying to enforce that leverage. Then as always you have Hopkins in Shane's ear telling him not to go for that little bit of money even though Bernard has priced himself out of a ton of fights. It will get done but dont keep going crazy about whats taking so long. This is normal and its actually alot faster than normal

That is an interesting figure you got there... I knew you would love that one, lol

even boxrec doesnt have any schedule declared for both fighters, when boxrec would declare a potential fight for both. For both fighters, there is no future fight, be it potential, or confirmed. What so if Boxrec doesn't have it on then it wont happen? Come on now, I am not saying it will or wont but thats a rubbish reason.

What's taking so long for this to be finalized? Both parties are part of GBP. The issues on drug testing is a non issue for both sides. So what's holding back its announcement? Probably still need to get the contracts signed.

I'm waitin' for those 2 magic words as well....... its on!!! :439:

friday was supposed to be the day for the announcement. Friday has come and gone. So where is it? Where is the Mayweather-Mosley fight, signed and delivered?

No, Mosley is with GBP and Money is with Mayweather Promotions. Mayweather has his own people negotiating his fights, but uses GBP because Mayweather Promotions is not a licensed promotion company. Mayweather pays them a few to use their services. GBP does not get 25% of Floyd's money. That is an interesting figure you got there...

From what I know it is going to be announce tomorrow.

Delaying and pretending tactics as usual by Floyd. In the end fight won't happen. They will just delay the negotiations until they can find a way to get out.
