    What does Pacquiao camp have to gain from fighting Mosley?

    he looked horrible his last two fights

    he'll be just a few months shy of 40 years old when they do fight.

    no matter how he wins, whether its a 12 round decision or if Shane gets KO'd Pwill style the first second of round 1, the automated excuse from Floyd fans will be "Shane wasn't the same since the Mayweather fight"

    even just accepting this fight Pacquiao is automatically "fighting Mayweather's leftovers"

    whats the point of this? why not just shut Marquez up?

    It'll just be another good name to add to his resume...people will look back at the resume 10 years from now and see Mosley's name, not his age or how shot he was.

          and it's a stay busy fight

          it's not like Manny's options are vast. Short of Berto I don't see anyone worth a damn

            What you need to realise is that Freddie, Pac, Arum and co don't live in the same little bubble that is boxingscene.

            It's about money, not the 12yr old bragging rights on this forum.

                    tell pac to man up and take the test. we could have had this fight inmarch if manny the cowardman didnt go again his original agreement to testing from the beginning of negotiations then refusing to take 14 days after he asked for it and floyd gave it to him

                    blame your god for why the fight didnt happen
