Mosley offers 40-60 split to fight Pacquiao
Reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight champion Shane Mosley has decided to push the envelope further by offering a 40-60 split in favor of Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao just to be able to fight him.
A press release issued by Mosley’s camp said the US boxer has agreed to a smaller purse of 40 percent just to meet Pacquiao in the ring.
Mosley’s camp came out with the release after Pacquiao agreed to the WBA champion’s dare for a fight in the 144-pound catch weight.
“Now that Manny has stated that he is ready to fight me, the only thing left to finish are negotiations. Richard Schaefer and Bob Arum are working out the details now. I will be ready to fight Pacquiao on October 17th,” Mosley said in a statement.
Mosley earlier said in an interview with RingTV.com that he would not allow money to become an issue to make the match possible.
“I think we can make it easy. Everyone does the money thing; they want this, they want that. It’s like they try to prevent it from happening,” he said.
However, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum said there is no deal yet.
"Manny hasn't decided who he's going to fight," Arum said according to LATimes.com. "It could be Mosley, or it could be [Miguel] Cotto, [Floyd] Mayweather Jr., [Juan Manuel] Marquez or [Edwin] Valero. They're all in the mix."
Arum insisted that the Filipino will make no decision about his next opponent until after the June 13 world welterweight title fight between Cotto and Joshua Clottey.
"Why would I eliminate options?" said Arum, who admitted that he was contacted by Golden Boy Promotion’s Richard Schaefer for the Pacquiao-Mosley fight.
Arum said that Team Pacquiao is also waiting for the Mayweather-Marquez fight on July 18 before making a decision.
"All that he's said is that he's willing to fight Mosley. But he still has to explore the best deal," said the Top Rank Promoter.
