Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Mosley is a Non-Title Fight, Says Schaefer

[-Spinal-]

He already won the WBC WW title in 2006 and the IBF/IBO WW title(basically just a money fight he didn't care about the belts) earlier that year. Mayweather only cares about the WBC title, he's targeted WBC champions at 130, 135, 140, 147, and 154 and won them all.

Why is there a rematch in the clause if no belt is on the line?

the rematch clause is for mayweather not mosley, if mosley loses tough **** for him, if mayweather loses he can call for an immediate rematch as its in the contract

Does anyone here know how much a WBA sanctioning fee costs? It would be interesting to know if its hundreds of dollars or thousands.

They say 3% here, not sure though.

According to Ellerbe, then rematch clause was in case of an early ending (possibly a clash of heads or a DQ. Or maybe it was just because Floyd is fighting the hardest fight of his career, and its definitely a fight he could lose. Either reason is fine in my opinion.

But anyways, this is a smart idea for Floyd, although a unification with Pacquiao would have been a bit better.

Then SCREW THEM! I thought it was like 30k or some ****. But lets say Floyd makes 25,000,000 for this fight which will actually be way more, that is $750,000 Floyd has to fork over to the WBA.

The WBA is the most slimiest money grabbing sanctioning body making all the these new useless belts. It gives me the chills just thinking of the WBA receiving that much money.

Screw the WBA belt. Floyd will be considered the L champ at 147 anyway. Why pay the WBA sanctioning fees? He got many belts.

Depends how good Floyd beats Mosley. If it's a close fight that demands a rematch, Pac may still get the nod as #1.
