listen up all this is the truth
the fight will happen just chill,ellerbe came out saying ITS A FIGHT FLOYD HAS WANTED FOR 10 YEARS. if he is saying that then ITS GONNA HAPPEN cuz if the fight dont happen and he said that floyds a bitch. if mosley comes out with the new mosley and follows brother nazims plan of pressuring cornering timing floyd he will be fine, if he comes out like he did against cotto and is hesistant he will get check left hooked and straight righted all night. he just has to watch what oscar did for the first 6 rnds, JAB!!!!! shane dont gas though. toss up fight man.
pacman is on roids its obvious how he denied testing, he might be in trouble with clottey i dont know what freddie joke coach roach was thinking.
mayweather will easily beat pacman. check left hooks all night. same way he beat marquez.
mosley would beat pacman. MAYBE DEPENDS HOW HE LOOKS AGAINST FLOYD.
hatton is done
morales is ?? depending on his comeback fight how he looks.
sergio martinez will beat kelley pavlik, any slick boxer will beat pavlik.
put your life your house your car your wife your kids all on THE DUTCH MAN mikkel kessler -140.
amir khan is no joke just a lil chinny.
JOHNNY GRAB AND JAB RUIZ WILL BEAT DAVID HAYE, WORTH A COUPLE BILLS! IF HES IN SHAPE. HES A SEASONED VET.
BERTO GOT PAID OFF ITS OBVIOUS.
tito trinidad had loaded gloves it was obvious in the vargas fght and the joppy fight u can hear the snap sound of LOADED GLOVES. and why do pr fighters hit below the belt when there hurt to get time to recover, so cheap, tito did it to vargas, cotto did it to numerous guys like judah, and clottey. whats up with that yo?
i have to believe that it is mayweather holding things up, he's the one that wants everything his way and his way only. we all know that mosley is willing to do anything for a high profile fight and will take any high profile fight payday, even if his cut is on the low side between the two combatants.
a fight that is right there and ready, and should be whipped up with ease, is now in this long stretched out negotiations all the while mosley has been trying desperately to get floyd in the ring and even beyond that, mosley is trying to get paid. mayweather is trying to get paid but he's trying to win the lottery on one fight.
if floyd did get a 40 million dollar payday, he would retire again right after the fight, and that is what he's trying to do........... mayweather isnt trying to fight anyone to build anything up, he's trying to cash in and get out again.
mosley on the other hand knows that isnt an option for him and he is going to have to fight two to three more fight before he's comfortable and ready enough to retire.
you know mosley is waiting and thinking " c'mon floyd, sign the dotted line " and floyd is trying to get everything in his favor again regardless of the fact that it can squash the fight, again......
the couch promoter.
Why are you saying "Even Dan Rafael" like Rafael was EVER EVER EVER a fan of Floyd Mayweather. Ilike how the haters have no patience, oh well I will have fun once the fight is official.
Manny is the p4p and a champion of WW and has a large following. That why he can make demands easy. While Mosley can be abused in negotiations.
huh?
Mosley is a welterweight champion as well.
ok here is another question then
why in the world would Mayweather want to fight in 10oz gloves when Mosley is more accustomed to that glove weight than Mayweather?
you do realize Shane has fought at 154 before right? Mayweather has used 10oz gloves twice
dude make sense please

The only thing that pbf can take advantage in the fight with Mosley if he insist of having both them wear 10oz winning gloves(pillow gloves) IMO is probably the soul reason of the delay.
???
so why would he agree to 8oz for Manny but not 8oz for Shane?

Im sure that this fight will go down...other wise people will start asking who ducked who and they will question Floyds Legacy
They could just be negotiating, you know what you do when you want the best deal for your fighter but I also think that he may be waiting for the right time to announce and capitalize on the buzz of pacs fight and undermine that fight with the more intriguing fight of mosley v. mayweather. hmmmmmm
I'm cautiously optimistic, but, I think Mayweather, Mosley, the promoters, and all the other insiders are just doing "the negotiation dance" that takes place before all big fights. Mayweather likes to play head games to try to get the upperhand, so it's not unusual for it to take so much time...
Mayweather is going to string Mosley along keep him right there and wait until after the 3.13 battle between Clottey and PAC. He is going to see how the fight plays out if PAC losses Mosley is right there if PAC wins he may try to step to PAC and his people and negotiate a fight with them and leave Mosley out on the dance floor like a fat b1tch at prom
Floyd is not waiting until March... and neither is Shane.
By that time Shane will have 18 months off before he fights, and Floyd will be close to a year off.
its been 9 freeking days whats wrong with you!!!!!
this should have been signed, the pressers should have happened in Vegas, LA, NYC, Grand Rapids and Pomona, blood testing should have begun, and open workouts should have been scheduled!!!
9 days is an eternity!!!!
/sarcasm
hahahahha...I know E, I know man! crazy, right??
