We all know it'll take quite a bit to sell this fight. Like in Pac's fight with Margarito, they did the 'Manny's so distracted and is having the worst training camp and Margarito is so motivated and is having the best training camp' when real boxing fans knew Margarito was going to get his ass whooped. What angle will HBO adopt for Mosley?

Probably the old man makes good theme. Couture, Foreman, Hopkins, Mosley. -
They'll talk about how Mosley's cosmetic surgeries has made him look younger inside and outside the ring. Meanwhile, Manny is force fed by Alex Ariza and can barely hold 140lbs on the scale while being distracted by congress.Comment

Although HBO may have exaggerated the issues you mentioned, they were playing on situations that were actually going on.
This was allegedly Manny's worse camp ever and the least motivated he's been, while Margarito worked his ass off.
They did a good job promoting Margarito as a threat and using the angle of a controversial, now newly motivated fighter in desperate need to prove that he is not only still a top fighter after getting beat by Shane, but a clean fighter who never cheated. That sold.
Shane on the other hand doesn't have many angles to play on.
Maybe he can play the broke guy who just had his bank account cleaned out by ex-wife. HBO won't even have to exaggerate that angle.Comment
