Mosley-Cintron would be a hell of an undercard

Yes, Mosley-Cintron sounds like a fine co-feature for the Hopkins-Winky PPV and it makes perfect sense.

Mosley-Cintron could certainly headline a WCB, but this is better for everyone--fans, HBO and GBP alike.

Winky and Bernard are my two favorite fighters, but I'm a realist--this isn't going to do much PPV at all based on the main event. A Mosley-Cintron co-feature is an awesome addition to the card, if it indeed works out that way.

I would hope it would in fact be Cintron and not some 'tune-up' opponent, though.

Quick additional note: With the money GBP will rake in for the DLH-Mayweather PPV, putting a second big fight on this PPV shouldn't be too economically difficult.

In fact, DLH could finance this whole thing from his personal savings account and not bat an eyelash, so I think it's very possible...

Mosley is the man... I can't believe how eager this guy is at 35. He is a true professional.

I think it would be Cintron if Kermit can get past his legal troubles. I think Shane wouldn't mind fighting Baldomir but HBO has said they don't want that fight. Not sure if they have a choice on a PPV card though. I'd put my money on it being Cintron

If Mosley is on that card, expect a bum in the opposite corner. There's just no way this is right. Mosley is too old to be fighting bums without belts. If he's fighting Cintron, he'll do it on his own show somewhere. Something doesn't add up and I seriously doubt Mosley ends up on that card.

In what may have been an inaccurrate or throwaway line on last night's all-star telecast, Kenny Smith said that Mosley would be on the PPV undercard of Hopkins-Wright. Winky and a lot of boxing stars were at the game so its possible he was directly told this. I was very surprised to hear this because even if Shane fought a Cintron type his purse would still exceed one million dollars which is a lot for an undercard fighter. Plus, I would have though HBO would want him on his own card a week later if not in June when Shane wanted to fight. Lastly, I suppose there is a chance that HBO is worrying about how a boring PPV main event such as this one might sell so they could had a star like Mosley and make it seem much more worth getting.

Sounds good more exciting cards should be brought together like this.

I gotta agree with that.

I don't dispute it's good for fans. I'm not saying that it wouldn't make the Wright-Hopkins fight that much better for Shane to be on the under card....but...this must suck to be Mosley. Sure, he's still getting decent paydays but he's at the twilight of his career and he's fighting on regular HBO and on under card fights for his Golden Boy Promotions brothers. He already had to take a back seat with fighting Mayweather. Every time he speaks of that he has a resigned smile and says, "Well...I...want to fight the best...but Floyd is busy with Oscar...so...they're all tied up." Now he's being relegated to fighting as a bonus to a main fight that does not feature him. Tough break for an ex-champion and a guy who once held the all-time KO percentage record.
