Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Mosley's Knockouts, What Was He Taking?

Mayweather will beat Mosley, period!

Mayweather is just going to beat the hell out the "cheek-bony" Mosley, period, and Kanye West will be singing "Beyonce`s song" afterwards.

[Emphasis]

I asked where your evidence was that he's only making a couple of million with Clottey, and you haven't provided any evidence for that claim whatsoever.

In any case, Mayweather also walked away from the fight when he refused to accept the 24 day cut-off. At that time, Floyd had no idea that he'd be able to get a fight with Mosley, and he was talking about fighting Matthew Hatton, FFS. And even Mosley is a much smaller payday for Floyd than Pac would have been. So it works both ways.

As I pointed out in my previous post, which you haven't responded to, Pac has always been motivated by more than just money - he was willing to walk away from the De La Hoya and Hatton and Cotto fights on matters of principle, when he didn't like the contracts. So if he's shady now, he was equally shady then. But as I said in my previous post, the idea that anyone who is motivated by more than just money is somehow shady, is just pathetic.

I don't care what the exact number is he will be making with Clottey. What we do know, is it will be nowhere near what he would have made with Mayweather.

Explain why Pac's camp agreed to random blood and urine testing from the get-go, then mysteriously backtracked when it appeared the fight was much closer to being made. The past is exactly what it is, and the fact is he's fighting Mosely now. To compare Mayweather/Mosely and Pac/Clottey is a joke, as the numbers from May 1st is guaranteed to be much closer to what Floyd/Pac would have been. Not to mention the specific opponents involved.

Regarding your DLH and Hatton comparison, both you and I know the money from DLH and Hatton cannot compare to what he would have made with Mayweather.

I just see it as two guys hyping the fight. I think both fighters are doing good jobs in there interviews and hyping the fight. Floyd has really impressed me in his last two interviews in ESPN. He handled himself well IMO. And, Shane did a good job when he was on first take IMO... So props to both guys for really promoting the fight.

Can't wait for 24/7!

if floyd walked away from 25mil+ people would have pictures of a chicken running from a stack money on here and wouldnt let it go

LoL This is true.But don't you think if mayweather is tryin to clean up the sport he should do it in a classey way?Mosley agreed to everything the test and all that i know it's just trash talk.But it make's may look more like the bad guy i guess he love's that role.W/E can't wait for this fight.Wonder what may is gonna blame his first lost on?

Wrong. Both the cream and the clear was considered doping.

actually no, just like before hgh was even known about in mlb it wasnt illegal.
once known and the affects understood then it became illegal.
lots of supplements were used and are not fda approved.
rules are stricter now.
do i agree now with what shane used? no.
was "the cream" illegal at the time? no it was unheardof.

This what we should be focus on can't wait

Every single time Pac was gonna walk away it was cause he wanted more money or the fight done in his terms. Maybe personal principles, his managers and promoters are as greedy as anybody else. Don't forget the DelaHoya suit case incident

You have to remember from early the Pac camp was saying that is was gonna be to hard to negotiate with Floyd and the fight may not happen, it was as early as the Cotto fight. When Floyd accepted the 50/50 and the 10 million pound penalty I guess they didn't expect that he would sign.

i feel you in a way but somebody has to be the bad guy it helps the hype its the reason nobody is really worried about pac clottey (sad to say). in the ring floyd is a class act even when zab hit im behind head and low blowed him he went straight to the corner and didnt over react like he could have. if floyd loses the i see him just giving props where they are due but u never know lol he may play the blame game this is a very dangerous fight for him but i know he will win!
