What part of "top" was confusing?

Imagine your good-looking ex-girlfriend wants to come over. But you have Megan Fox on your sofa. What would you tell Heather?

You seem to insist that Mosley is a draw...despite copious evidence to the contrary.
"well liked and respected among hardcore fans" is not the same as "wide commercial appeal"
Dude, you're talking about "being a bastard". This is a business also. In life, you don't get what you deserve... you get what you negotiate.
Shane has been in this business for a looong time. Who's fault is it that he has to play second fiddle?

Shane is not a commercial draw. Anyone even remotely close to the business end of the sport knows this. I shouldn't even be engaged in this discussion with you.
You are clowning a Sharmba fight, and meanwhile Floyd made TWICE as much for that Sharmba fight four years ago as Shane made to fight Margarito. Go verify that. Floyd made FIVE TIMES as much to fight Baldomir as Shane made to fight Margarito. Go verify that.
Floyd doesn't NEED Shane. Can you understand that? There are a ****load of guys calling Floyd out. He has options. He is the prettiest girl at the dance right now. He isn't going to dance with the guy from the Math Club.
FMJ's fights are PPV, and will generate $20 mill in revenue. Why is PPV important? Because it is nearly impossible to get a $5 mil payday without PPV. And SSM is looking for 'big money fights". In his words. Anybody Floyd fights will have a career payday. Look it up.
Shane is not that dude. Only boxing diehards follow Shane.
I seldom get frustrated, but you post a zillion times per day and you don't know a thing about the effin' sport. Sigh.
Type less. Read more.
did i say shane was a bigger draw than floyd?
what i said was shane is a bigger draw than most of the guys floyd has fought.
you talk about how much money floyd made fighting sharmba. do you think floyd would make less fighting mosley than sharmba mitchell?
do you think mosley-floyd would do less than mitchell-floyd?

JMM is the definition of a fighter who is just "well liked and respected among hardcore fans" outside of hardcore fan circuit JMM is basically an unkown. Shane might not be the biggest name ever but he is definitely more know around and is a bigger sell.
And just because Floyd is doing the business aspect doesnt make him not a bastard
Nice quote how long have you been waiting to weave that into one of your posts
