Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley vs. Sergio Mora on Pay-Per-View: Choice$

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - 200 years ago, Mexico won its independence from Spain. This weekend, fight fans can be part of the celebration…by rooting for Sergio Mora?

Doesn’t really set the blood to boiling or anything but so goes the television advertising for this weekend’s edition of what has become an annual occasion: the Mexican Independence day weekend pay-per-view show.

It’s a tradition with its ups and downs. The ups include a lot of Oscar De La Hoya.

The downs? Well, that depends on how one looks at it.

This weekend’s show will be headlined by “Sugar” Shane Mosley (46-6, 39 KO) versus Mora (22-1-1, 6 KO) at Jr. Middleweight. Mosley, once a champion at Lightweight, Welterweight, and Jr. Middleweight, was last seen losing eleven rounds to Floyd Mayweather.

The last time Mora, still most famous for winning Season One of “The Contender,” was in a fight that mattered he was losing a one-sided rematch for a Jr. Middleweight belt against the late Vernon Forrest. Who will win this crossroads showdown? [Click Here To Read More]

not worth being on ppv imo. sergio mora isnt a draw. not much ppl know much about him. a year ago he was incompetent in the division. he was on a huge lay off.

You'd prefer HBO to dump Williams-Martinez 2 and Alexander-Bradley to carry this?

You'd prefer Showtime dump JuanMa-Rafa and the Bantamweight tourney to carry this?

I wish both stations boxing budgets were bigger like everyone else does but it's not realistic.

Both stations would rather use their budget on the fights I listed than the Mosley-Mora fight. I'm sure if they had the funds to carry Mosley-Mora and thought it would be a smart business move they would have done it. It's not like TV stations decide to screw boxing fans for the hell of it.

I think HBO and Showtime made the right moves based on what money they are using for boxing. I don't want them to spend their shrinking budgets on fights like Mosley-Mora when the entire Showtime bantamweight tournament will probably cost less.

There's a HUGE misconception in boxing that somehow only "good" fights are supposed to make it to PPV. More people need to realize that fights make it to PPV because networks can't afford to pay for a card or they choose to not spend their allotted budget on a card.

It's not a bad card at all, for $20, I'd buy it in a heartbeat

[starsjuicebar]

Mora is more like an espn fighter. the other fights on the card are more worthy of PPV.

You might be surprised by Mora the kid is slick as sht,inactive as a mothaphucka but still a dangerous guy Mosley does not do well with slick fighters.Mosley 9th rd ko is my prediction but Mora by decision would not surprise me at all.
