Mosley vs Judah: Zab Furious With Fight Offer

[goldenglove2]

why? its simple business. will zab make even close to 500k in any other fight? no way in hell. how can he turn it down. judah should be thanking sweet jesus someone wants to give a guy coming off 4 losses in a row(cept for the cans he beat) a half million dollars.

and a shot at the WW championship...

On Tuesday, word began to spread around the industry that Golden Boy Promotions was interested in matching WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley against former two-division champion Zab Judah. Later that night, BoxingScene.com spoke with Judah about the offer to fight Mosley, and the circumstances behind his decision to turn the offer down.

ooooookay good job Zab
in about 2 years you're gonna wish someone offered you 500K and 5% of ppv sales. This guy is delusional. He obviously doesn't know what a win over the current #1 rank WW would do for him right now. Granted SSM would make easy work with him but this would have been a great opportunity!
what an idiot

LOL @ HIV ****

Zab's done man. He's lucky he's even being offered $500,000 let alone 5% of the PPV buys

[GRUSTLER]

Why would Mosley want to fight Zab? I think Mosley
has this thing where he knows that he is supposed to
be bigger than he is now and tries to play that role.

I have to say this Shane Mosley allowed his wife to get too personal with some of his business dealings, Yes Jin was his manager but she shouldnt have let some of the shady side of boxing or the ego of boxers get to her.

[MOREBASS]

Zab is on his way to becoming a gatekeeper, and now his ego is going to keep himself from possibly making his way up the ladder.


This guy needs to take this fight, at any cost.


If he loses, he will have lost to one of the best in the world, but even if he loses and puts up a decent fight, his stock goes up.


Taking the chance at possibly beating Mosley far outweighs the risk of losing to him, IMO.

[pigdestroyer]

Can anyone, particularly anyone well equipped with the business side of this, tell me if this was somewhat aimed to trigger Zab away from a fight?

For example, Maybe DLH and Mosley knew this would be rejected, but sent it anyway just to say that they've been offering Zab but they've turned it down or something. Is this ever done? I see a lot of similar things like this happening but with other fighters and wondered if it was done for a reason like this.
