I have to admit I'm not psyched about Pacquiao fighting Mosley, but some people's rage on here is ridiculous. How many millions of dollars do you want Pacquiao to lose so he will fight Berto? What other fighter would do that? What other fighter doesn't take the fight that pays him the most money once he's established? (Isn't it really ducking when you take a fight that pays less to avoid someone else?)
It's especially ironic that people are so distraught about Berto not getting a shot. Seriously? The guy that fought Freddy Hernandez rather than taking a smaller cut against Mosley. (Even though I bet his total take would have still been more fighting Mosley.) Do you really think Berto would have looked great if he had fought PBF and Mora in 2010? Do you really think SSM wouldn't have gotten two wins fighting Quintana and Freddy Hernandez? I would only rate Berto as a slight favorite against Shane right now.
The people that are so angry at Pacquiao for taking the fight that pays him the most that they want to organize a boycott, are just as looney as the people on the other side that think Pacquiao is some kind of divine being on a moral crusade for boxing.
