    Because Clottey is promoted by Top Rank and it makes sense to give him an undercard slot on the Pavlik-Williams fight. A Mosley-Berto fight doesn't make sense on an undercard and HBO doesn't want to schedule it close to Christmas.

      Please lou dibella?

      Lou ran hbo boxing/lou got his money from hbo boxing/lou's pitch to any fighter is i get u on hbo/lou without al haymon is a lesser lou/berto is with al haymon(as is lou's other elite fighter ,taylor)---ask the hard question here---what's going on with lou and al--or more precisely reeno, was al haymon at or aware of this meeting?

      Of course al haymon was on top of this situation---al haymon is as low profile as lou is high profile,especially in his own world...

      Thus: What is the relationship between al and lou? But you'll never get al haymon on here nor anywhere public--al avoids, lou embraces it.

      What goes around comes around?

        Well I think it's as unfair on Clottey as it is on Mosley - he was led to believe he was going to have a far bigger, more meaningful fight than he's now getting. The only fighters who've benefited from this are Cintron and Berto.
