Leonard Ellerbe: "We're not interested in Mosley, he doesn't draw any kind of crowd"

[Al Haymon]

This is the reaction of a floyd stan and not a boxing fan. Let me remind you.....you aren't getting any of that money.

Make the best fights and please the fans first. The money will be there regardless.

I am putting myself in the position of the boxer. What you are saying makes no sense. At all. if "the money will be there", then why is Shane in the position of spending all of 2009 chasing "a big payday".

I have not made it a secret that I look at the sport BOTH from a competitive side and the financial side.

Is May-Pac or May-Cotto a great fight? Yes. So, remind me why I wouldn't want to take a great fight thatALSO happens to pay me 2x-3x?

And, actually, I do get some of that money. My clients make money off events.

Side note: ESPN Classic Fights is on. Diego Corrales. mitch halpern reffing. SO SAD!!

I'd reverse the situations here and have Floyd fight Mosley now
(he isn't getting any younger), and than the winner of Pac/Cotto in 2010. Floyd earns more money and respect this way.

Exactly.


Who else would Floyd fight besides Mayweather at this point?


Besides, he's going to have to save face after being publicly called out face to face. You know his pride will force him into making the Mosley fight.

If he doesn't, then he's as much of a ***** as people say he is. Period.

No, you don't do that. There is a huge risk that anything can happen to derail that giga-fight.

What is the fight that the community at large is asking for? What is the world asking for?

May-Pac....not May-Moz

I always loved Mosley, and especially B-Hop (trust me, you had to be there in person to see what came over the crowd when he beat Pavlik), but yeah, that was beyond nonsense- having B-Hop "have his back" certainly didn't make Shane look tough. And his last fight sold out the Staples Center because of Margarito's following, I believe.

failed white rapper Max Kellerman is the one really deserving a belt in the mouth, however. Anyone who can set up a meeting with me and MC Kellerman, I'll PayPal you $600.

The irony is that Mosley may have irreparably damaged any possibility of a Mayweather fight. Though Mayweather took the high road in declaring his respect for Mosley as a fighter, several members of Mayweather's team were livid at the boorish behavior.

Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe blasted Mosley and said they weren't interested in a fight with Mosley because "he doesn't draw any kind of crowd."

Floyd Mayweather Sr., De La Hoya's former trainer who has a long history with Golden Boy, called Mosley a "punk" and said, "[he] isn't worth my son's time."

Complete bull****!!

A Mosley vs Mayweather fight would dwarf Marquez fight.

Then call him a *****. Because Mosley is about the fourth guy to do that. Where did it get the previous guys? Vivian harris get that fight? margarito? Who is the other one I'm forgetting right now?

[King Jaffe Joffer]

Why it"s the truth. When Shane is not here, Floyd talks a lot of **** about him. When Shane came to his face, he didn't have the courage to fire back and to call him a roider with 5 losses. He respected him and played basketball with him.

Shane talks **** about Floyd too.. And he shook his hand.. Whats your point?

You are wrong.

I think that Mark Taffet and Ross Greenburg know more about the commercial viability of a boxing event than Dynamite Kid. No offense.

The Pac or Cotto fight isn't going anywhere. Mosley is the number one welterweight in the world. fight him first and the Pac or Cotto fight becomes even bigger. Unless of course Floyd loses or looks horrible winning. But that is what having balls and making tough fights is about, taking chances.

And I don't know what you do or what your clients do, but I doubt you are getting any of Floyds money unless you work for the IRS or a certain car dealership right now. I could be wrong though.

KIng, these children grew up on WWE. It's very hard to educate them.
