Why is Floyd even taking the Mosley fight?

[viewsat]

I thought PBF said that he wouldn't fight "5-loss Mosley" who also declined PBF's fight request in the 90s. Now he seems fine with it?

I haven't heard anything about him taking a Mosley fight now. All that's been said is that if negotiations with Pacquiao fall through, then Mosley will be considered.

But if they do fight (and I assume they will if both guys keep winning), it's because it's one of the biggest fights out there for Mayweather to take.

Even if he's considering it, he never did before on those Brian Kenny interviews.

Floyd is going to fight Matthew Hatton.

It's been a decade since Floyd is ducking all the WW and you still can't see ****?

It's probably best not to take too much of what Floyd says in interviews. He always says conflicting things.

In general, I tend not to take what fighters say about fighting/not fighting certain guys that seriously anyway. Sometimes it's just negotiating ploy, posturing, an ego trip, or the situations just changing.

Such as Oscar saying after the Trinidad fight, "why should I fight Mosley, people will just say I fought another smaller fighter", or "I won't fight Vargas because I don't want him to make millions off of me", or saying that he wasn't feeling the Mayweather fight because the Baldomir one was so dull.

Sounds like a total cherrypick, no major titles, 4 losses, never headlined a PPV, not a big draw. Unless floyd is trying to prove he can do a million by himself?

Floyd has been in the Welterweight Division for 5 years now and the best he can do is fight Baldomir? Don't believe any **** he's going to fight Mosley or any other Welterweights.

It's not even a PPV, probably regular HBO.

I cant see Floyd waiting to fight Mosley...

I cant see floyd fighting pacman either...

Floyd would probably never take a HBO fight unless it's PPV plus has 24/7 with it. That 24/7 with JMM was nasty, Marquez and his Piss drinking. Mosley hasn't done PPV in a while. Someone know how many views he got with Marg on regular HBO?

[totalstranga]

Mosley is still fighting Berto right? I mean can Floyd wait that long to fight Shane next assuming he gets past Berto? Doesnt he need money or some ****?
