Floyd Mayweather Jr: "I Don't Need Shane Mosley"

[briggs33]

Fought the exact same competition as Pac in his last four bouts.

except the fact that Pac fought Marquez at his natural weight then he moved up to fight DLH back down to fight Hatton which was still far above his normal weight and is now fighting Cotto arguably #1 WW at 145 pounds...like i said..what has "Money" done to even compare with what Cotto, Mosley, and Pac are doing right now

and that was his last 3 bouts not 4

The only two things Floyd cares about are retiring undefeated and money. HE won't take a fight with risks to jeapordize either of those, especially if he can pull 1 million buys for a pro wrestling style "squash match" like he did with JMM. If he doesn't fight Mosley, or the Pac-Cotto winner, who else is there?

while guys like mosley,clottey ,margarito,cotto,williams,and pavlik are all killing each other ,you know stepping up and facing the best" fraud the great jr" is facing featherweights like jmm? what tha **** is that????????how is that great cant even believe people pay for that **** its the most ridiculous sham ive ever seen in boxing the definition of a protected,handpicker fightter thats the mayweathers.

How is Floyd in a position of weakness? Because he sells the most PPV and generates the most money? Poor post.

Pac has more options, and whether gayweather likes it or not will get the lion's share of the purse.

If that's not ok with him... Pac will shut him up by fighting Berto, Mosley or any of the top 140 guys and he will still make the same amount.

Gayweather the coward and duck has already stated he ducks mosley.

Lenorde Ellerbee said

“It’s like this, when you’re desperate, you’ll do anything,” Ellerbe said. “That was a coward, desperate move on his part. He goes about things the wrong way. If you’re looking to make a fight with Floyd, trying to go up there and upstage him? That (expletive) never going to work.”

When asked which fighter would carry the most promotional value as Mayweather’s next opponent, Ellerbe did not seem to think it was Mosley — at all.

“I would think it’s the winner of that fight in November,” said Ellerbe, referring to a Nov. 14 fight between Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. “Clearly, attraction-wise, it’s not Shane Mosley".

“I don’t know what it is, because Mosley is a very good, likable fighter. He just doesn’t have the ability to connect to the fans. The only way you can make the sport bigger is to attract younger fans to the sport and we are looking for creative ways to do that.”

“When all is said and done, he’ll fight them all,” Ellerbe said. “It’s old saying, ‘He beat this guy, but what about this guy?’

“He’ll fight them all, one by one, in whatever order they come in. We will fight the best guys out there.”

i agree and its still all about money

Why hold a grudge. Fight it out in the ring. Thats how real men that FIGHT for a living handle their buisness. Not like some school yard girl. Whys Floyd supposedly mad? Because HE CALLED Mosley over during his interview???????! Because in EVERY Golden BOY Promotion fight SHANE is in the ring no matter whos fighting? Or is it because Mosley is the #1 WW and he cant...CANT have what Shane has because Shane wont give it to him or he cant buy it? Who knows. What we do know is...Hes a punkass scary little dude that wont fight a man because he knows he will lose. There is no reason NOT to fight a man for the #1 spot. If you dont like the guy is all then more reason to fight him.

co-sign well put.

GOOSE!!!

Calderon your up

I'M not worried about his fiances, but do you understand that he is a PRIZEFIGHTER like all the rest of em. You want him to fight, show him the $$$

But we are the ones paying to see him (including you), don't you want to see him in a competitive match with odds that he might lose and come out victorious? I feel that we could be watching one of the greatest of all time and cause he doesn't take the challenges we will never witness it. Its such a waste of talent. I know they are prizefighters but boxing history and glory has no price

Clearly you are just a hater who creates situations in your head rather than looking at facts.

Its fine if you dont like Floyd buddy, just say so instead of trying to convince yourself that Pac has more options. Anybody would love to fight either guy.
