wasnt it already posted and confirmed there was no rematch clause in the contract..
do a search on the forums..it was posted in NSB....
Mosely interview yesterday @http://philboxing.com/news/story-34719.html
Duljoman: What do you think about Mayweather?
SSM: I don’t care about him and I don’t care about his personality. This is business for me, nothing personal. My mind is focused to beat him and fight him again because we have a rematch clause for this one.
Duljoman: Rematch clause for both of you?
SSM: No. Only for him. I don’t need a rematch clause. He needs a rematch clause because he was forced to fight me.
Duljoman: I talked to Roach a few days ago, he told me that Pacquiao-Mayweather was canceled because Mayweather was afraid of the zero to become 1. Like Roach was telling me that, Mayweather was frightened to fight Manny. What's your stand on this one?
SSM: Anthony let's put it this way. Mayweather needs money that’s why he’s forced to fight me. He needs money that’s why he puts a rematch clause on this one. I don’t know if he’s a coward or not but what I know for this fight? He was forced to fight me. Aside from Manny, this is the only big money for him out there. If he’s afraid to fight Manny I’m not.
floyds reaction time, accurate fast punches, ring iq, defense, movement will be too much for mosley.
its gonna be a hard fight because shane is stronger yes, but if floyd can beat de la hoya at 154, then shane at 147 won't be much harder.
Dont be suprised if Mosley Makes it look easy, You never know.... in boxing, stranger things have happened, and somebody out there may have floyd's number. Remember when the younger Tarver was supposed to Demolish BErnard Hopkins, and Bernard made it look easy. ALthough I know this is a totally different fight, my gut tells me Mosley pulls out a UD, with one knockdown somewhere in the middle rounds.
Also considering what just happened to RJ and Vivian Harris, rematch clause is smart. Floyd says no need to have a rematch if u get it right the 1st time, I agree with that assuming its a fair call.
So with FMJ statement, doesn't it seem strange that the re-match clause came from his camp?
IF mayweather loses, there is an immediate rematch and Mosley can't fight pacquiao.....but if Mayweather wins, there is no rematch and mayweather can fight pac if pac agrees to olympic testing
Smart move on Mayweather's side,
What if Shane shellacked and KO'd Floyd in the early round, that Floyd do not want fight him again?.
Is there an escape clause.When they can have a rematch?.
Floyd seemed hesitant from the begining!!I believe Floyd never wanted any part of Sugar Shane,I think he finally figured out that he couldn't keep fighting cabdrivers & avoiding the best!!Sucker probably thought that Shane wouldn't agree to the rematch clause for him alone,but Mosley said sure,lets do it!!That's why Floyd didn't wanna sign the contract,lol!!

come on, who believes floyd really didnt know about it?? with all his advisers, managers, lawyers and all the money involved he doesnt know there's a rematch clause?
I agree with you. That's why I find his statement to be so ironic.

Mayweather saying he didn't know anything about a re-match clause.... "If you get it done right the first time, you don't have to worry about a second time."

That's bullsh**. Smart on Mayweather's behalf, but absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully if Shane wins he does it in a fashion where there's no doubt and Mayweather doesn't want a rematch.
If he lost convincingly it's likely that he would take time off.
The rematch clause is the scenario that the fight is stopped prematurely, split decision or a controversial decision.

fuk that little coconut picking manny pacqeio, there was never so many sillipinos watching boxing. once he is gone they are gone
1. you make it seem like the sport getting more fans and exposure is a bad thing
2. there was a filipino world champion before the 1st black heavyweight champion. quit frontin like filipinos aint entitled to be fans of the sport
I thought mosley could also excercise the rematch clause since he is the champion..
Its not traditional that every Champion automatically gets a rematch if they loose.. its really about barganing power and the foresight for a Champion to put a clause in the contract before the fight is made.. usually a contender agrees to the stipulation because otherwise he will not get a shot at the title; like Dawson-Tarver. However here, Mayweather's Team was able to force the Champion Mosely to sign off on a contract where if Mayweather looses he will get a rematch but not vice versa.
I suppose Mosley was so willing to fight Mayweather he didn't care about it. Plus, if he beats Mayweather, of course he will take a rematch and get another huge payday and the opportunity to beat PBF twice. Its really a win-win situation built on the assumption that it wouldn't make sense for PBF to rematch Mosely if he won. However if he does win and its a close and exciting fight, I see a rematch happening anyway especially if the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight cannot be made.

The rematch clause has to be based on money, as in Mosley must pay PBF a step aside fee to fight someone else if he wins. Because if the clause is simply centered around the WBA belt, Shane could just forfeit it to go after a different opponent. And given that Shane's the one with the belt, PBF couldn't be the one calling the shots on a clause like that anyway. I'm curious about the stipulations of it myself. If they've been posted already I missed it.
