Shane Mosley: I keep probably about $15 million, it's pretty good.

[Roger Mellie]

This fight isnt signed yet,and if it does get signed I cant see there being 40-50 mil to split. The numbers dont add up.

I know that, but Clottey should be getting more than $1 million.

I agree with you. He should get more than 1m.
Pac-Cottey will surely make money, although not as much as Mosley-Mayweather.

Ortiz-Campbell I'm not too excited about.

Alvarez making his debut I'm excited for.

I wish they'd put Marquez-Khan on the card.

That would destroy Pac-Clottey PPV wise.

As much as we would all like Marquez/Khan on the card it really isn't possible. That fight can do a huge gate and get big time viewers so HBO is gonna put it on the undercard. Ortiz/Campbell could be exciting in a one sided kind of way and as for Alvarez, everyone wants to see them and big up's to GBP for putting a future star on the card. Hopefully they can give us a real undercard like they did for Mayweather/Marquez(I know the fights ended up being bad but for an undercard the names were good).

LoL shane isnt making 15 mill. And clottey doesnt deserve more than a mill, dude hasnt sold a ticket his entire career. This fight is lifetime opportunity for him. And mosley making 15 mill is complete non-sense.

[Iceta Lives]

He deserves it based on the people he's fought compared to Floyd. That is more than fair. His fight with a shot Vargas in the rematch did more buys than Floyd's fight with Baldomir. And the only PPV of where you can say that Floyd was the A-side was against JMM.

does anyone know how much ssm got in his fights against DLH?

I don't believe he is getting 15 million dollars either. I think he will get between 8-10 million and Mayweather like 15-20, probably the back end.

This is probably a lot closer to the truth,which is why I am a bit cynical about the fact that Floyd hasnt signed yet. I think this isnt going to do ppv what they think it is. Hardcore fans will wanna see this fight,but to the casual fan or the bar owner etc. the dissapointment factor about it not being pac-mayweather will probably kick in. I dont see Mosley getting much more than 5m for this fight.

cool.....Shane EARNED this type of pay day!!!.....the money is cool, but winning the fight would be the ****!!!.....dam I'm amped up....haven't felt like this in a long time!!!

That's what I'm talking about... honest excitement... we all don't know what will happen May 1st but until then this is a match for boxing fans... two marquee names of their era... we all should be excited... the same as it was with Cotto and Pacquiao...

I don't know if I give Naazim too much props but he really has me thinking about that Mosley has a chane to win... before Naazim I never thought that... he was missing something but now with him even at 38... I give him a chance... still you need to execute the gameplan... I'm excited too

On June 17, 2000, Mosley met De La Hoya in Los Angeles for the WBC and IBA Welterweight titles. After twelve rounds, Mosley emerged with a split decision victory. During the fight neither man was in danger of going down, but both had badly swollen faces at the end and De La Hoya was bleeding from the nose for several rounds. Mosley earned a minimum of $15 million, while De La Hoya was guaranteed $35 million.
