I wouldn't be surprised.

I Mean it would make sence but family first and over anything including money....he'll make money in the future....hes a star and a good man for what he is doing.....

[Roger Mellie]

Even if he was bought out... doesn't mean he was ducking... it would be great if he was bought out.. that way he could make a few dollars and go spend time with his family.

I hope he was bought out.

I wholeheartedly share this sentiment.

why would he be bought out???

mosley needs a fight before the may/ssm fight, due to mosleys layoff. So why buy out berto cuz now GBP needs to find a fight for ssm.

plus may/ssm isnt even announced yet, so i dont see the need for all these may/ssm threads

that ***** don't need a tune-up.....


you dudes are ridiculous. everybody wanted floyd to return from a 2-YEAR layoff, and jump right into a fight with shane or pacquiao. shane hasn't fought in a year, largely his own fault, and now he "should take a tune-up," before fighting floyd....


mosley ain't winning the fight anyway, so just make that money, and retire. that's what shane wants anyway....a payday.

Leon's Response: Hopefully one day you will grow to like me again, but I'm not in the like business, I'm in the know, bigtime. As a human I have opinions. When I combine my opinions with what I KNOW, you're not supposed to agree with everything I print. Turns out Berto wasn't offered anything to scrap the fight, but he should have been bought out. What's good for Jermain Taylor should be good enough for Andre Berto, no? You're going to learn a whole lot about Al Haymon this year. And guess who the un-named sources and references of most of my material will be? HIS FIGHTERS. In my opinion Al Haymon is BAD FOR BOXING.

You have to remember when reading Greg Leon's work that he is not an unbiased journalist. He is also trying to get into the business as an adviser/manager. Well guess what Hayman is? That's right, an adviser/manager who is 100% more powerful than Greg Leon. Therefore, in order to become a prominent adviser/manager Leon will have to take some of what Hayman has. What Hayman has is a whole lot of money(Leon can't take that), big time network pull(Leon probably can't take that) and an unblemished reputation in the sport of boxing(Leon thinks he can ding Hayman there through his "journalistic" web site).

So take what Leon says about Hayman with a grain of salt and remember that he is "trying" to be in competition with Hayman.

I dont take G.leon seriously on the advisory role that he tried to play the guy is an idiot but he does have his way of getting exclusive interviews and news that other people get 2 days later, G.leon is a friend of Berto and was friends with Mayweather before, he came out with an article suggesting Berto was brought out by Haymon so Mayweather/Mosley could happen but i think he got another info the next day which states that Berto indeed withdrew without any sort of pay off or compensation.

[THE REED]

I am glad Andre Berto stepped out... He wouldn't be properly focused after having dead and missing relatives.

[Stab Judah]

My God, don't you think we can just take his word on this one?

[mangler jr]

I knew there was something fishy about his pullout. Berto's not a trained search and rescue professional and there's no way he's going to go to Haiti.

This had nothing to do with his family.

I sniffed that **** out.
