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

[MOREBASS]

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?

I don't know and I really don't give a ****.

Look, I'm a Floyd Mayweather fan, but it seems to me as if he's so obsessed with keeping his '0' intact, that he doesn't ever take the risks necessary to really solidify his place in history.


Look at what Pacquiao is doing right now. Moving up in weight to fight one of the best, or arguably the best welterweight in the world.

He might lose, of course, but that's part of what makes the fight so intriguing. Floyd doesn't seem to be willing to take any of those chances, which is really just dissapointing, considering how amazing of a boxer he is.

You are correct, sir. And I've never seen such innane reasoning for a fight to happen, nor such **** logic. "Then he is as much a ***** as people say he is. Period." As if that's the final answer? Because people said it? Alot of people said Hitler was the savior, what did that mean? It is because you say it is; ridiculous. Theres a better way to get fights, to make match-ups, and calling out people only works in bars and high schools. It really does take a bigger man to keep his head and be a class act when someone (and his middleweight friend) confront you, after you've just sweated and fought for 12 rounds. So who was the *****?

This is damn interesting. Before Saturday night it looked like 2010 big fight would be Mayweather Vs Pac/Cotto. Now who knows what is happening. Max Kellerman purposely bought up Shane Mosley so he'd come over and have a chat, he was partly instigating it too! He wants to see Mayweather Vs Mosley. And I reckon Mosley wasn't disrepectful but Hopkins was! Shane didn't grab the mic, Kellermen put it towards Shane and then he even called him "Money Mayweather"....potential opponents don't do that! It was BHop that causd the mess ha ha...but it's almost like thats what he wanted? To make noise so it looks like Mosley and Mayweather have beef so there is more interest in the fight. I mean who didn't enjoy seeing that arguement with Kellerman being thrown around saying "NOT NOW BERNARD"....it was hilarious! And everyone I've spoken to who saw the fight thought so too. I want Shane Vs Mayweather in January and the winner to fight Cotto/Pacquiao!!

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

So you don't care about the toughest fight being made, only the one that makes the most money? That is the difference between being a a stan and a boxing fan.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Anyone think Mayweather can beat the very durable SSM in an impressive fashion?

[TRAVI$]

Hence why Floyd was seemingly annoyed with Shane calling him out.

[Dynamite Kid]

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.

And they picked JMM because it was more commercially viable than Mosley vs Mayweather i take it ?

Winner of Cotto vs Pacquiao is a bigger risk to Floyd, then Shane.

He beats every welter in the world with the possible exception of PWill who isn't currently in the division. Thats no excuse not to fight them though.

No one said it was the final answer, but it would prove that Floyd Mayweather Jr isn't willing to fight anyone who he feels could threaten his precious undefeated record.

If he doesn't take the fight, then it's obvious that he's simply looking for low risk-high reward fights.

Besides, calling Floyd out after his win was probably the only way that he could ever lure Floyd into a fight.
