    Mosley: "Pacquiao can earn $20 million fighting me, he should forget Cotto"

    Pacquiao Can Earn $20 Million In A Legacy Fight With Mosley

    Shane Mosley continues to justify himself as the best fighter to land a fight with Manny Pacquiao. In a recent interview with Sports Chat, Mosley talks about his worldwide fan base, his track record as a fighter and his quest to be the best.

    "Bob Arum is offering Pacquiao $12 -13 million, I think Pacquiao's going to make $20 million fighting me. I'm confident he'll make more money with me than fighting Cotto. That fight (Miguel vs. Manny) is only big if they are fighting in New York" said Mosley, who thinks Cotto is not the same top calibre fighter he once was after his loss to Margarito.

    "It is not just the Filipinos versus Puerto Ricans. It is a world wide fight. Manny Pacquiao is worldwide now.He is not just confined to Philippines and Puerto Ricans. And that is what I bring to the table. I bring world wide recognition. I have Filipino fans. I have Puerto Rican fans, I have American fans. I have fans around the world. I have been fighting for 15 years. I have been champion for a long time. I just don't come out of the blue. "added Mosley, who has been in the fight scene longer than the Puerto Rican Star.

    "I believe Richard Schaefer talks to Bob Arum all the time. He tells him to make this fight. But Arum just cancels him out and says he's going to make the Cotto fight. He just close his mind out to the whole idea. I know Pacquiao is ready to fight but the only problem is Bob Arum. " said a frustrated Mosley as he continues to sell himself to the boxing public.

    " Im a multimillionare. This is not about the money. It's about the legacy, it's about fighting the best and be considered the best. That is why I fought fought Vernon Forest, Wrinky Wright, Oscar De La Hoya. Now, the fight that I want is the fight that fans want. It is a fight between me and Manny Pacquiao or between me and Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather may come out of the shell and want to fight me and I might have to fight Mayweather. But I might as well fight Pacquiao first then Mayweather next. "

    "People understand that Im a great and legendary fighter.I am a true fighter and a warrior. Manny Pacquiao is the same breed as me. He wants to be the best. I want to fight Manny because I want to be considered the best. It is about having the best fight in boxing"said Mosley, who wants Pacquiao to go and choose the best fight for the good of boxing.

        Shane need to stop bitching and fight Berto/ Paul or Clottey. I'd rather him go after Berto's belt.

                SSM wants money, period.

                If he wants to keep building his legacy, he may go ahead and unify the WW at his current age. That will definitely be an acomplishment to respect and inflate his legacy. A fight against PBF will surely add to his legacy, but against Pac, it's all about the money. Even if he takes 25% of the purse, that money is much more than what SSM will do if he faces Berto, and who knows even PW.

                  Shane needs to change his name from Sugar to either cry baby, hypocrite, delusional or desperate.
