      More than 60% of boxing fans want to see mosley beat mayweather, this is why people will but tickets and ppv buys to see this haopen. The only problem is that Maywetaher is going to beat the hell out of mosley.

        I never said PPV. I think it will do HUGE numbers on PPV.

Therefore the fight has to be in Vegas where the city and casinos will pay a huge site fee and bring the gamblers in with comp tickets to cover the bills. Could you imagine them trying to sell Mayweather/Mosely in a stadium like Dallas Stadium? Mayweather couldn't even sell in his hometown. Mosely has never been a paid live gate attraction either.
          yes this fantasy fight is gonna have a hard time beating the pac-cotto sales back in november since pac and cotto have large fan base.

            You're a boxing purist that is downgrading a super fight because of some perceived lack of ticket sales? Stop posting.

              That's cool...Back to the topic though, you kidding yourself if you think they couldn't sell tickets anywhere other than Vegas. Floyd has easily become one of the most well known names in the sport as of late, good or bad! Best believe they would have no problems selling tickets anywhere!

                Uh this is probably the 2nd biggest fight that can be made. Just be happy we are getting it.

                  Mosley vs Mayweather should fight in Texas since they are not fighting at the same time as Pac. This way it will silence his critics who says that he needs xylocaine or anesthetics to win fights. Also to see who is the true PPV king fighting in the same venue.

                    By the way I am friendly with Carney Bowman. You see him, tell him Yo siad what's up.

                    I have tried to send you points man. I ain't hiding. Why, when I send 10,000 does it send you 11. This has happened twice now.
                    Don't use a , just put in 10000. Next you are mistakin. Mosley had good numbers against Vargas, he sold out Staples center with De La Hoya and Had great numbers with Margarito in Staples considiring the Affliction fight happening at the Honda Center the same night. Also remember Floyd sells out anywhere. He sold tickets to fights with JMM and Baldomir hardly big draws.

                      I live an hour away from Dallas..and will not be going to the Pac/Clottey fight..
                      I wont even order PPV..I wouldnt have ordered PPV if Floyd fought Matt Hatton either for that matter..now if they have Pac/Mosley at Dallas..I would go there in a second..so TS/ I dont agree with you..maybe 5/10 years ago this could be argued..but not now..not when this whole Pac/Floyd debacle fell apart, not since Floyd has become the "bad guy" of the sport, not since Mosley demolished Marg, not since Mosley is the #1 official welter champ, not since Mosley stepped in the ring to confront Floyd (something I still think was planned to hype them down the line)..
                      not since Pac chose Clottey as a replacement..and Floyd is in talks to face Mosley..and now Pac/Clottey is overshadowed by Mosley/Floyd!
