Comments Thread For: Berto's Promoter: What Does Pacquiao Gain From Mosley?

[balintawak]

50 Yrs from now

in 50 years people will look back at mannys career and realise how overrated he was

50 years from now, your grandchildren (if your lucky enough to procreate) will talk about you and say, "That's my grandfather - what an idiot!"

Pac should fight BERTO for the 1st 4 rounds, JMM from round 5 to 8 and SHANE from round 9 to 12 TO SATISFY EVERYBODY.

BUT the problem is, can arum afford to pay pac $60M ($20M per opponent)?

another problem is, berto, jmm and shane might argue among themselves who gonna fight the 1st 4 round...

[Evilution KO]

Let Pac fight whomever Top Rank throws at him. They way I look at it is this:

VS Berto = I would pay for a nice HD PPV
VS Marquez = I would pay for a nice HD PPV
VS Mosley = If I have nothing else to do I would find a stream online and watch for free.

What does he gain from fighting mosley?

For Pac fans:
They get to see their man beat up an old but once great fighter. He makes money but proves nothing in terms of legacy. All of Pacland is happy and they get to have a concert after the fight.

For BOXING fans (not haters but people who just enjoy watching good fights):
For me that camp all about the safest highest paying opponent. Mosley is getting this fight because he is a brand name, to the average boxing fan they hear that name and they know it because he has been around for a long time. They will promote this fight where they will show clips of mosley landing that right hand on Mayweather on a constant loop.... the average PPV buyer does not know about how he was outboxed in that fight, how he got a draw and looked like crap against Mora from "The Contender"...

So for me this fight does not do crap in my book in terms of proving anything special. I'm still waiting to see a great fight like Taylor vs Chavez or Leonard vs Hearns out of the Pac camp. Unfortunately the opponents they choose don't bring anything that came make the fight a war like we all want to see.

There are two opponents out there. One is Mayweather but you know he is "on vacation" and Marquez. For everyone out there saying "he priced himself out", have you ever negotiated a contract? have you ever negotiated a salary? so do you expect him to just ask for $100,000 and just be thankful for the opportunity? no it's called a negotiation. So Arum dismisses it and that's that.... no they go high and he goes low.... he priced himself out and he is ducking pacquiao.... yeah ok.

If you think anybody had any chance of landing this fight against pac you're fooling yourself. Arum had mosley picked a long time ago. This is the perfect time to fight him.... and they will. So if you think Arum's word is the gospel please by all means keep on doing so. I on the other hand I can read between the line.

Hey Lou , if you don't get it by now you will never get it.
1) If Shane loses by KO to the congressman this will prove :

a) that the congressman is not afraid to fight African American fighters
b) that the congressman is better than FMJ, because Shane went
to the distance.
c) this will serve as a tune up fight for the congressman
d) money wise this will be more attractive than to fight
Demon, Sergio "are you serious ?", Aling Berto and the 21'st
Airborne Division ( u LOL)
e) it really doesn't matter whom the congressman wants to fight with
as long as he is Afro American.

He beats an AA. But a better question would be why has Berto been paid millions the last several years and done nothing to build his case for a Pacquiao fight? That's his fault. Ridiculous. No matter how many Freddy Hernandez' you knock out, it doesn't equal a legitimate opponent.

The whole point of critics wanting Pacquiao to fight an African American fighter is for the style of slickness and defensive or good handspeed and being young. Mosley is not slick, not young, not defensive, i'll give him handspeed and that's about it from those criterias.

New York-based promoter, Lou DiBella, doesn't understand the reasoning for Manny Pacquiao to select Shane Mosley as the opponent for April 16 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. According to DiBella, Pacquiao should forget about Mosley and fight unbeaten WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto.

didn't dibella get the memo?

pac will get blown out by an African American, not a Haitan American.

i guess you didn't get hopkin's memo either. all african american fighters are slick. hopkins specifically named mosley in his list of slick AA boxers that pac should fight.

Nice try little Pac-turd,

But all this proves is that

- his nickname of Poochiao is well deserved because he
continues to
fight other people's left overs

*Can't forget "The Catch-weight King"

- He's been afraid of fighting of facing technically skilled
fighters with
great counter-punching

- He can only beat one dimensional, come forward brawlers

- If Pac can only face the same style of fighter, then he is
limited in skill

- Still continues to fight weight-drained, damaged fighters

- He'd rather fight Grandpa Mosley (as some of you Pac-tards
called him) than an ACTUAL THREAT IN THEIR PRIME.

- Still is fighting guys fresh off losses.

- Pac is an A*S*OLE for wanting to beat up on a senior citizens

- Arum is milking Pac for as much as he can and as quick as
he can
before he cashes out and feeds him to Mayweather


The evidence in his Team Pac's selection of opponents since Pac/Marquez II (2008) but *******s still choose to disregard all of this
because truth really hurts. Pac wouldn't fight Mosley last year, even after Mosley agreed to come in at a catch-weight of 142 lbs but he'll fight him a year and two losses later at the full welterweight limit.

What a f**ken joke!

Fighting Mosley would be further proving that he's nothing but a
Top Rank hype job

Berto? Are you serious? Manny makes more in ONE fight than Berto has made in his ENTIRE career. Hes a nobody that ducked Mosley.

Mosley is a sure fire hall of famer. He will outsell Berto and Marquez PUT TOGETHER! This is a no brainer for anyone with 2 working braincells. If Pac-Marg can sell 1.15 million then Pac-Mosley will sell AT LEAST 1.15 million. Berto can keep fighting nobodies and Marquez can keep drinking piss. Dont forget Pac makes more in one fight than both of them have made in their ENTIRE CAREERS PUT TOGETHER LMAO!!!
