    What the hell kind of question is this?

    Mosley's biggest fights were because of his opponent, such as De La Hoya, Margarito (I dare anyone to say the stadium wasn't filled with Mexicans) and Cotto (Top Rank's biggest attraction outside of Floyd at the time). Anyone who fights on the undercard of Marco Antonio Barrera AFTER they've reached stardom is not a bigger attraction than Floyd.

    Floyd's PPV buys have done nothing but increase after the DLH fight. He went from 300k (Baldomir) to like 900k (Hatton), and then 1.05mil in the Marquez fight. Mosley hasn't even fought on a PPV in years.

        You should have seen all the credit Marquez got.

          This fight will do great numbers and one of the main reasons is cuz of Shane... Of Course Floyd is the bigger draw but Shane will be one of the main reasons along with Floyd why this fight will do amazing numbers...

          Pacquiao was the bigger draw than Cotto. But, Cotto was a main reason why that event did great numbers...

          I care about this fight, and I am excited for it and can't wait for it. Because, Floyd is fighting Shane. The reason is Shane... If Floyd was fighting Malignaggi I wouldn't give two ****s about it... I would not buy that fight, I would stream it. I would not buy Shane vs Malignaggi either. I would stream it... The only reason why I care and wanting to see this fight and going to buy it. It is because of Floyd vs Shane....
          No lie, this is great point. However, Jro. Mosley is not putting effort into promoting this fight.He basically trying to sabotage sells of this fight with his boring personality, and his unwillingness to engaged with the public.

          He is basically letting Mayweather and Nizam Richardson do all the work of promoting this fight, While he sits back and plays the sideline until he is call on to get into the game on May 1st.

          So really it is really Mayweather who is selling this fight, and it is Mayweather who is center piece of this fight. Mosley is just the dude who we think can give Mayweather a good enough challenge, so we can say we saw Mayweather ina good fight and look for the next Mayweather opponent.
          To give him a good fight

            when was the last time mosley was on ppv and what were his numbers? ever wonder why he isnt? b/c mosley isnt a draw

                      To be honest Floyd.

                      He has made it so people either love him or hate him so there are people who will pay just to see him get KOd.
