Mosley-Mayweather Doubleheader on March 13?

[War Dinamita]

HBO already picked up Pacquiao vs Clottey for that date.

Link from the creditable source?

Top Rank is promoting their own fight because HBO will pick GBP/Mayweather over Top Rank.

Blame Bob Arum for his lack of vision, and putting HBO in a position where they have to choose. March 13 was Floyd's HBO date not Pac's, Arum clearly wanted to upstage Mayweather with his Dallas event, he could of chose the next weekend but he's a selfish old man. HBO could easily sign Floyd and Shane to some guaranteed money vs lesser opponents on free HBO, and HBO subscribers will be very happy. Happy enough to not watch the independent Pac PPV at all.

Yeah you're definitely right about Arum wanting to upstage Mayweather because he hates him. If I had to choose I would watch the Mosley and Mayweather fight because Mosley is my favorite fighter and its got Floyd fighting and they are for free.

A perfect scenario for March 13...

Mayweather vs. Cintron

Mosley vs. Quintana

or vice versa

60k that Pac-Clottey will be on HBO PPV...

even if they sell 500K, they would still make more money than they would putting on a free show.

For one, whose going to watch Pac Clottey 24-7, ratings will be low, hate to say it, but most will tune in to see Clottey not Pac. If Floyd wants that March 13 date, HBO knows that Mayweather and television camera's = $$$$ Floyd would get the HBO camera crew even if it is a tune up. As long as Mosley fighting on the same card they got a hit on their hands.

Dude do you realize that HBO is likely already planning to meet with GBP in light of Berto's decision. HBO already knows May-Mosley is where the money is, they will drop Pac-Clottey in a heartbeat if GBP wants that March 13 date.
