De la Hoya/Mosley III: Who's to blame???

[Ray*]

I know this fight was suppose to happen but Mosley turned it down because Oscar doesnt want parity in their third fight, Looking at the Market Value of each fighter and the need for the third fight because of the way the second fight end (Controversy). Who do you blame for the fight not happening??

Actually I give props to Mosley for giving Wright a shot instead of taking the money and a third fight with DLH. All fighters should have such a mentality

I definitely can't say for sure, but didn't Mosley say no because he was still on the lesser side of the purse split despite two wins against Oscar? Can't really blame the guy, you beat a guy twice you shouldn't have to take less money to fight him a third time.

Yes Mosley was offered the lesser side of the purse, He took the Wright fight on principle and i think he made less in that fight compare to what he would have made taking the lesser side of the purse against Oscar.

i blame ODLH for wanting the fite and trying to set it up, since he clearly won the 2nd fite clear cut.

Why not??? If oscar feel injustice about the second fight dont you think he would try to set up the 3rd fight like any boxer would want???

not if you getting paid 20 million a fite and could fite a bum making the same amount. however, we could argue all day . fact of the matter, all depends on whos in the position he was.

Mosley was a dumb **** for not taking the second fight. He was supposed to get 12mills for a third fight with Oscar but instead fought Wright for 3mills. Although Oscar was still getting the bigger share, that's still a lot of money for a fight. It wasn't like he won the second fight clearly anyway, most people had him losing it.

I made an error and chose mosley(it should be DLH)....I blame DLH...when a guy beats you, you don't get to have the bigger purse....
