shane's great career was at 135 did you know that? Tell me his accomplishments since moving up from 135. A controversal win(which he lost) over dlh 15 years ago? collazo? mayorga? fat vargas? estrada(on margarito's ppv undercard lmao)Comment

You just had your fight with mayorga moved from one date to another because HBO knew you couldnt compete with a card on showtime. Not only that they changed the card from ppv to free hbo because they knew it wouldn't sell. They figured this fight wouldn't sell in vegas so the best hope is to put the old guy in front of his home crowd in Los Angeles and draws a reported crowd of 5,000 fans and people there said it was about 3,500 Including Earner who covered the fight for boxingscene, and maxboxing. So in your hometown Mr. big name shane against a very exciting fighter in mayorga you bring 3,500 people to watch the fight. Yes the same mayorga that is a household name that people like to see fight. The same mayorga that brought over 500k ppv buys in each fight against dlh and tito. And yes shane the same mayorga that vargas was able to get a ppv date with and sell 300k ppv's!! yet only 3,500 come to watch mayorga fight YOU free on HBO???
Lets rewind to over a year ago when the lesser known Margarito faces a still relatively unknown paul williams who at the time NO ONE BUT hard core BOXING FANS KNEW WHO HE WAS and still is not a good sell. AT THE SAME VENUE MARGARITO BRINGS A RECORD 8,000+ FANS!!! How do you explain that? Now since that fight he's fought at madison square garden, Atlantic city, and The MGM Grand Capturing Two world Championships in the process and Knocking out the undefeated welterweight champion of the world in a fight that many say saved boxing that can be argued as the fight of the year and does 400k plus ppv's in a struggling economy.
and mosley is the better draw? "peeleft:Comment

This is not a hate thread on Mosley by any means. We all know what was was capable of in his prime and is a for sure hall of famer. But do you think Shane Mosley who lost a very close decision to Cotto and who beat a faded Mayorga deserves a 50-50 split in the purse with a candidate for fighter of the year in Margarito?
Seriously guys think about it from his viewpoint and top ranks. He is getting ****ed over with a 50-50 split, even if its a career high payday. In my opinion this fight should have never been talked about since i personally think Margarito will stop Mosley into retirement but that is just me.
I think at 50/50 split is justified.Comment
