Can Shane Win A Decision On A GBP-Mayweather Card?

[-Reflexes-]

They both do according to BPP's post yesterday.

Naw they dont. If Floyd beats him he will fight Pac.

How do you know?

That story was ran by Yahoo sports and it said there was a rematch clause.

Mosley is a GBP fighter and co-CEO, this may be a good or bad thing for him IMO. First, he is 38 and his best days are gone so the future earning potential for Mosley fights is rather limited by his age. If GBP is trying to "setup" future matches by paying judges, then going in favor of Mosley does not make much sense. Sure they could give him a victory now but then they would have to essentially rip him off in the rematch so that a Mayweather-Pacman fight can be made later this year. Losing to Mosley though, could potentially hurt Mayweather's drawing power in a fight with Pac because he would no longer be undefeated. So, it seems that there needs to be a comparison between the revenue that could be made in a Mosley-Mayweather rematch verses a Pac-Mayweather mega fight, we know who would likely win that one.

It makes more sense for GBP to rip Shane off in the initial meeting b/w Floyd and Shane if the rematch clause only pertains to a Mayweather loss and not a Mosley loss, this way they don't even have to worry about a rematch to begin with. GBP gets a piece of a Mayweather fight and they get a piece from Pacquiao too so the mega fight is in the best interests of GBP in the long run anyways.

The only thing possibly limiting GBP from rigging the outcome in favor of Floyd would be any allegiance to Shane since he is a co-owner in the company and a "friend" to DLH and Hopkins. The sad thing is though, GBP hasn't been too "on the ball" when it comes to negotiating and promoting Mosley fights anyways in the last couple of years, seems like Shane has had to do all the work himself. Another thing, since Shane is a big shot there, he would likely be getting a large chunk of the revenue that GBP would get in both of the Mosley-Mayweather fights provided there was a rematch. GBP is a company and money is the name of the game so they aren't going to be too eager to give up anymore revenue than necessary to Mosley.

I think they rip Mosley off in a close fight should it go to the cards to preserve Floyd's record and setup Mayweather-Pacquiao later this year. Shane gets 15 million from it and a little more cash from the mega fight later on. They also get the benefit of having the fight take place in Vegas (Floyd's hometown) so that any ripoff situation could be passed off as a "hometown decision" leaving GBP relatively free of any accusations for the decision.

GBP has there eye on Pac vs. Floyd.

That's what I think too, Mosley won't win on the cards- highly unlikely

Which is exactly the point of the thread that you said was a "fail". Interesting that you would call my thread a fail, then make more posts than anyone else, and then agree with it.

****in idiot.

Thanks for taking the time to go in depth about the possible reasons. I agree with pretty much everything you say here and see very little chance of Shane getting a nod on the scorecards.
