Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley Reveals He Bet $1M On Himself To Beat Canelo In 2012 Loss When Purse Was $600K

[archiemoore1]

AND? People can say WTF they want...what can you really do about it? Fans have spent their time and hard earned money to watch these guys fights, be it live or on television. It's clear that Shane whored away the last few years of his career, starting with him selling his portion of GBP to face Pacquiao in 2011.

Honestly, Shane's never been the most astute businessman...that goes for outside en****** (management, promoters), hiring his wife as his manager just to lose it all, investing in thots, roids (pretty much ruined his legacy), and now we hear about him betting on himself and losing.

Hell, look at the move he made after beating Oscar the second time. He took the Wright fight for less money, lost both belts and made $2M. He could've fought Oscar for a 3rd time for what....$12M? He had a Trinidad fight at his feet for $10M but he chose Wright.

So, yeah....Mosley's history with business dealings has been shaky since Jesus was a baby, so what's YOUR point?

U just wanna hear yourself argue. Ur counting Shane's money better than he is. Never count the next man's money. Worry about your own. Can you box? Shane could stop training for 10 years, be outta shape, be sick with the flu, be on medication, wake up out of a dead sleep and still whip your ass. Have some respect for ppl who step between those ropes. So quick to chop ppl down. That's why ur lady left u for somebody else because ur petty

Typical ******* soy boy....defending a man you don't know because your father walked out on you and your mother. Too many of those roaming the internet in search of male guidance...present company included.

And how am I counting a man's pockets when it's public information, dumbass? Why would a cheating fighter such as Shane (at that time) NOT take on Oscar for a 3rd time for $12M or wait on Trinidad for a $10M? Because he's a fool. He bet on himself over and over again and came up short. He even bet $1M on himself and walked away owing $400k. Yeah, smart guy...he has my full support. Lol

Maybe the sport needs more "pocket counting" men such as myself...otherwise, we'd see ****** stuff like a 58 year old Holyfield almost go out the ring express style while and was paid for it. Had he counted his pockets better, he wouldn't have to do what he still feels he has to do for money. Waaaay too many Holyfields out here and not enough George Foremans post boxing.

As a fan, I've INVESTED in the sport....cable tv, spending time reading articles and watching interviews, countless hours on forums, Pay Per Views, fight parties, going to live fights (event tickets & travel expenses), so STFU. "I bEt Chu AinT NevA Stepped between dem rOpes." STFU again. How would I know if you have or not? Oh, that's right....I don't care.

Just stay out of the way! You brought your mother's spirit in this thread and you're stinking up the joint. Lol

How is this true though, do casinos take 1 million dollar bets? I dont think they normally take bets that big.

even if his purse was 600k, he would owe a lot more than 400k on a 1mil loss because he has to pay his trainers, his promoter and taxes out of that 600k

I forgot about that, when he made his wife his manager. She used to be a stripper and escort. what in the *** does she know about managing pro athletes, contracts ect. That was a terrible idea.

And now we see all these years later she just wanted to be his "manager" so she had access to all his financial records for when it came time for divorce to make sure she didnt miss out on a single penny she was "owed"

If you're ****** enough to not know you're shot to **** then you deserve it. Pac made you quit like a girl..

Jesus Christ you people really DKSAB. 14 years in a boxing forum and you still a new born baby. There are non-window books kid. How do you think Floyd lays down the big action? Lots of bookies and illegal books out there that take massive wagers.

One of many bad decisions by Shane. At least Chavez Sr stopped his ****** son from doing the same.
