Did you know that MOSLEY demanded 40% against PACQUIAO?

Mosley offers 40-60 split to fight Pacquiao Reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight champion Shane Mosley has decided to push the envelope further by offering a 40-60 split in favor of Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao just to be able to fight him. A press release issued by Mosley’s camp said the US boxer has agreed to a smaller purse of 40 percent just to meet Pacquiao in the ring. Mosley’s camp came out with the release after Pacquiao agreed to the WBA champion’s dare for a fight in the 144-pound catch weight. “Now that Manny has stated that he is ready to fight me, the only thing left to finish are negotiations. Richard Schaefer and Bob Arum are working out the details now. I will be ready to fight Pacquiao on October 17th,” Mosley said in a statement. Mosley earlier said in an interview with RingTV.com that he would not allow money to become an issue to make the match possible. “I think we can make it easy. Everyone does the money thing; they want this, they want that. It’s like they try to prevent it from happening,” he said. However, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum said there is no deal yet. "Manny hasn't decided who he's going to fight," Arum said according to LATimes.com. "It could be Mosley, or it could be Cotto, Mayweather Jr., Marquez or Valero. They're all in the mix." Arum insisted that the Filipino will make no decision about his next opponent until after the June 13 world welterweight title fight between Cotto and Joshua Clottey. "Why would I eliminate options?" said Arum, who admitted that he was contacted by Golden Boy Promotion’s Richard Schaefer for the Pacquiao-Mosley fight. Arum said that Team Pacquiao is also waiting for the Mayweather-Marquez fight on July 18 before making a decision. "All that he's said is that he's willing to fight Mosley. But he still has to explore the best deal," said the Top Rank Promoter. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/06/04/09/mosley-offers-40-60-split-fight-pacquiao So much about that Pacquiao ducked MosleY! Lets be honest Mosley dont deserve even 30% against PACMAN!

The simple matter of the fact is that Mosley was never going to bring in the revenue that Cotto was going to bring in. Add the fact that Cotto was the last guy during this period to have beat Mosley also added credibility to Cotto being a legitimate threat to Pac. Finally add in the fact that both are Top Rank fighters and that would be 3 areas that Mosley would not be able to contend in. Feel free to post as much old news as you want to divert attention from your man Floyd being a duck and a chic. Mosley was and still is only a name recognizable among boxing enthusiast while Cotto was guaranteed to bring his ppl for the bigger revenue and dollars. If Mosley did fight Pac he would have needed to offer a much lower percentage to offset the revenue Pac would loose by taking him instead of Cotto and that percentage is closer to maybe 30% or less.

and Roach never said Shane you are to good for Pacquiao,he said that he is better then Hoya and that if he wants Pacman that it would be catchweight. I whatched that interview unlike Flomos who are spreading lies. I know that Roach never said that. Roach also knew it was next to impossible to fight Mosley as they had Cotto, who beat Mosley, first in line.

Yeah and hoya mayweather did 2.4 and Mayweather hatton did 1.9 World wide while Pac hatton did around 1.2 worldwide... see what I mean. The point I made about the titles along with that means Mosley deserved 40%. lol.. I think 5,000 people showed up to SSM against Mayorga....SSM didnt really deserve 40% in terms of who can generate the most money. I think he did the right thing by not asking for 50% but he really doesnt draw....

You all need to read what you post carefully. Roach knew that he had a better deal with Cotto. Mosley would have to come with a better offer than Cotto to get any chance of getting the fight done. PLUS Cotto is an Arum guy so Mosley had to get in back of the line unless he gave Manny an offer he couldn't refuse. Evidently, by looking at the numbers, it's obvious to most people that they would have chosen Cotto NOT Mosley. This is simple economics but you guys are stuck on point #2 but avoiding point #1. and Roach never said Shane you are to good for Pacquiao,he said that he is better then Hoya and that if he wants Pacman that it would be catchweight.

Shane came to the gym twice to ask me to let him fight Manny," Roach says. "I told him no both times, and both times for the same two reasons: First, there isn't enough money there , and second, you're too good a fighter." You all need to read what you post carefully.

N O N S E N S E You forgot about HOYA PACQUIAO 1.25 million PPV s! and if you count Mayweather vs Hatton over 1 million then you need to do the same with Pacquiao vs Hatton and that Mosley last time he fought on HBO PPV was probably in 2003 So Mosley can forget about 40% against PACQUIAO!

Well for starters the mosley v. mayweather bout was not for a title also Manny at the time had not one bout selling over a million ppv so I wouldn't consider him having comparable drawing power to floyd having 2 at the time and 3 if you count his worldwide #'s with Hatton... remember this was before Manny selling 1.2 with Cotto. Not to mention Mosley was not in as desperate a situation as he was after his date with Berto was cancelled at the time we are talking about.

Cungle, please get Manny Pacquiao's two inch Asian cawk out of your ear, and maybe you'll be able to hear the truth. And the truth is this: Manny Pacquiao ducked Shane Mosley, you know it, I know it, Roach knows it, and Manny himself knows it. End of thread. based on what? Cuz he come to Roach and Roach said that they are going after Cotto cuz Cotto beat living shit out of him and he brings more money? COTTO got 25% against PACMAN and for damn sure greedy granpa Mosley aint gonna get 40%! Mosley ducked PACQUIAO and its scientificly proven!
