Comments Thread For: Mosley Breaks Down Why Mayweather-Pacquiao Fell Apart

[Dick Buffman]

told you so

Thats not a break down at all, Mosley is giving an account of Mayweather-Mosley.. Pacquiao has leverage, Mosley had none especially when his WBA belt was rejected by Mayweather, Mayweather himself knowns Pac has leverage and that's why he accept a 10M fine for every pound he comes in over the 147 limit.. Apart from De la Hoya which other fighter can ask Mayweather for 10M if that fighter doesnt have an leverage?

Both fighters are trying to control the situation but they are both too big for that to happen so we would never see the fight..

Floyd obviously thinks he is the king of the sport and better than Ali, Robinson, Leonard, Greb, etc. So, this makes complete sense. I bet you as a kid, Floyd cried like a b*tch until he got his barbie doll back. He even once called a 4 fight deal worth $12 million a slave wage. The guy is a primadona and feels he is the G.O.A.T. when in reality he is a B.B.O.A.T. (Biggest b*tch of All Time)...

GBP promotes Mayweather fights. Sugar Shane as part owner of GBP knows Floyd very well and his analysis of the situation is very clear and understandable but the only thing that he did not mention is the main reason why Floyd is trying to have control prior to the fight with Manny Pacquiao. Floyd likes to overcome his fear of Manny Pacquiao. The truth is Floyd is so much scared of the great Pacman that he and his advisers are throwing all the road blocks that you can think of just to prevent the fight to take place. You can tell how scared Floyd is...during interviews he always try to avoid any question regarding his fight with Manny Pacquiao. He is avoiding the media in fear that they might ask him of questions regarding a fight with the Honorable Congressman from Saranggani, Philippines.

again, floyd accept mannys demands but pac didnt do the same.

funny how when manny gives demands, its ok. but when floyd does it, its wrong.

you *******s are thick

You really have to compare glove size on an Olympic style testing you F@G!!
with the penalty per pound was because your boy cheated the lightweight fighter. ******!

Looks like Mosley is trying to appeal to the *******s lol. He couldn't do it by beating Mayweather so now he's trying to do it by siding with Pacquiao in the negotiations.

Those were more honest times...

Sugar Ray Robinson and Charley Burley appeared on the same card against different opponents somewhere in the Midwest. It was supposed to set the stage for the meeting of the two.

After the fight, Sugar Ray raised his purse demand from $25,000 to $50,000, knowing no one will shell out all that cash. He added, "I'm too pretty to fight Burley."

Years later, Burley was asked about Robinson having ducked him. He said, "Ray ducked me. George Gainford (Robinson's manager) admitted that much. I can't say I blame him. There was no money in us fighting each other. All we would have done is knock each other off."

Burley continued, "You know, to me the most remarkable thing about Ray's career is that he didn't even get a shot at the Welterweight title until he was 26, or the Middleweight title until he was 30! You think he was the greatest? What do you think he would have been if he'd gotten his chances when he deserved them? You wanna know the truth? If I had gotten my shot, I wouldn't have risked it fighting someone like Ray."

And, more honest men too...

Didn't Floyd allow De la Hoya "control" before their fight? He met De La Hoya's demands. I believe in every other fight, Pac should be allowed his terms. In this fight however, I think he should just take the damn test, so we can have a fight. All the possible doping talk can stop, and the fans get a super fight.

yup Floyd is easily the bigger draw. Pac needs to accept that if he wants to fight but we all know he doesn't

[thatnickuh]

Shane knows whats up!!!

Shane doesn't know anything, he's just speculating like everyone else. The only one who knows what's really going on in Mayweather's head is Mayweather. If this was all about Mayweather trying to gain complete control of the situation then he would not have agreed to Pacquiao's demands during their negotiations. That fact alone basically dismisses what Mosley is quoted as saying here.

too bad floyd accepted mannys demands b.c manny wasntman enough to accept floyds

funny how you cats love to forget what happened

But when MP did accept ALL OF MAYWEATHERS DEMANDS (2nd time around); Floyd went on vacation right? Floyd isn't thing of boxing right now right, but now Floyd's going to be announcing who Floyd is going to fight next in Abu Dabi soon right; when MP vs. AM has already been signed right? Unbelievable!!! The writing is on the wall, and still you *****'s are in denial.
