I don't understand. Why are there so few Sugar Shane Mosley fans?

[Piper the Great]

Shane never got into commercial roles, he never appeared on any other television shows like Dancing with the Stars, WWE, etc. I believe Shane did make one appearance on a TV sitcom, but he didnt make it a priority to cross over. Shane just wants to fight and you hear him say it over and over again. Shane also made two bad career decisions. One, he never should have fought Vernon Forrest and he should have never fought Winky Wright. Those 4 losses to those 2 guys really destroyed the momentum of his career. If I was managing Shane, after the first Dela Hoya fight, I would have immediately sought after a fight with Felix Trinidad at 147 or 154. I beleive he would have beaten Trinidad and then he could have rematched Oscar and then had a rematch with Trinidad at 154. Those 4 fights against those 2 guys would have took Shane career to another level in terms of bigger paydays against guys who command larger audiences. Despite the fact that he didnt take advantag of those possible Trinidad fight, he was still good enough to fight his way back to the top with wins over Margarito and a good showing against Cotto. Some fighters seek the mainstream attention but then there are others who could care less about mainstream attention and Shane is one of those fighters.

shane has made a few guest appearances on some tv shows like the bernie mac show, all of us etc but you right he never tried. & that proves he not in it for the money. He couldve done celeb basketball & baseball games during all star breaks but don't want the fame.

Shane has a ton of fans. He just doesn't have bitchass stans. That's a good thing.

[smifnwessun]

because he doesnt stand a chance against mayweather

[filifunk]

I suppose Shane has never done anything or been anything in the public eye outside of boxing....totally devoted to the sport I guess, which actually makes him less popular..

[filifunk]

smiffnwessun, I must say that pic of Mayweather and 50 drinking margaritas doesn't support the "Mayweather is not gay" argument.

I think alot of Mayweather fans now were Mosley's fan back in the days.

This is true of me. I used to like Shane alot, and actually I was a big Judah fan until he fought Floyd. After that fight, everything switched.

sounds like you a bandwagon hopper.

[And Still]

He didnt have a big fanbase even before those losses and steroid issues.

Shane doesn't have sex appeal, and he has no (correction: negative) charisma.

[champ007]

I'm a Shane fan. I'll be rooting for him to beat Floyd and Pac, then ride off...

If Shane beats Floyd lots of "fans" will be making that jump.
