Did you know that MOSLEY demanded 40% against PACQUIAO?

Shane came to the gym twice to ask me to let him fight Manny," Roach says. "I told him no both times, and both times for the same two reasons: First, there isn't enough money there , and second, you're too good a fighter."[/SIZE][/B]

You all need to read what you post carefully. Roach knew that he had a better deal with Cotto. Mosley would have to come with a better offer than Cotto to get any chance of getting the fight done. PLUS Cotto is an Arum guy so Mosley had to get in back of the line unless he gave Manny an offer he couldn't refuse. Evidently, by looking at the numbers, it's obvious to most people that they would have chosen Cotto NOT Mosley.

This is simple economics but you guys are stuck on point #2 but avoiding point #1.

and Roach never said Shane you are to good for Pacquiao,he said that he is better then Hoya and that if he wants Pacman that it would be catchweight.

I whatched that interview unlike *****s who are spreading lies.

Yeah and hoya mayweather did 2.4 and Mayweather hatton did 1.9 World wide while Pac hatton did around 1.2 worldwide... see what I mean. The point I made about the titles along with that means Mosley deserved 40%.

lol.. I think 5,000 people showed up to SSM against Mayorga....SSM didnt really deserve 40% in terms of who can generate the most money. I think he did the right thing by not asking for 50% but he really doesnt draw....

I know that Roach never said that. Roach also knew it was next to impossible to fight Mosley as they had Cotto, who beat Mosley, first in line.

The simple matter of the fact is that Mosley was never going to bring in the revenue that Cotto was going to bring in. Add the fact that Cotto was the last guy during this period to have beat Mosley also added credibility to Cotto being a legitimate threat to Pac. Finally add in the fact that both are Top Rank fighters and that would be 3 areas that Mosley would not be able to contend in.

Feel free to post as much old news as you want to divert attention from your man Floyd being a duck and a chic. Mosley was and still is only a name recognizable among boxing enthusiast while Cotto was guaranteed to bring his ppl for the bigger revenue and dollars. If Mosley did fight Pac he would have needed to offer a much lower percentage to offset the revenue Pac would loose by taking him instead of Cotto and that percentage is closer to maybe 30% or less.
