His reasoning for picking Mosley is the $$, if he signed a fight with Marquez or Berto there would be no outcry maybe only from real haters but real boxing fans will support him.
    If he chose to fight JMM at 147, there would be just as much criticism. If he chose Berto, there would still be Mosley and JMM waiting there for the next fight. These fights are going to happen regardless what people say. At this point, its all about what order it falls in and Mosley has his best shot at Pac the sooner he gets it. It might as well be Mosley first because its going to happen anyway.

      pretty simple, fans will always support their fighter... casual fans don't give a fine **** against the opponent, it's the draw dude they want to see anyways... don't be surprised if this garbage of a fight (as per hardcore fans) makes the 1M PPV mark... vegas desperately need a big fight anyways (not a good scrap that barely make 5000 live gate)...

      by the way, fight is going to be on the welterweight limit against a top 5 welterweight... oh right, i'm a *******, what can i say?...

        I don't like the fight not one bit, but it's better than Mayweather vs Josie or Mayweather vs Security Guard.

          What do people expect Pac fans to do? Whether they support the fight or not the fight would go ahead, Pac doesnt give a toss about them!!!

            The same thing that was wrong with Floyd fighting that same top 5 welter. Only difference is.... now that top 5 welter got dismantled so bad that he couldn't even beat sergio mora.


            just sayin.

              I don't support this fight. I'll just watch it coz I love boxing.

              I prefer Pac fight the winner of Bradley/Alexander if given the choice.

                Not watching it.

                I expect a lot of people not to watch it either.

                I don't want to see Pac fighting a washed up old man.

                Not gonna pay $50 for a fight where I already know the outcome.

Marquez is a lightweight, Berto is untested etc etc etc. Mosley will give both marquez and berto a run for their money if ever they meet atop the ring and mosley will yield the best PPV as far as arum is concerned hence the choice.

                  Having said that, I still want pacquiao to fight a young undefeated welterweight champion in berto who has defended his title, no matter how ****ty, five times.
                  Although the choices were limited I bet you he would not have taken even close to the heat he is taking from the Mosley fight. People are interested in the Marquez fight and I never seen anyone talking bad about Berto. Sure, the media wouldn't of liked a Berto fight but most fans of the sport didn't have a problem with it. Pretty much Pacquaio chose the worst matchup of the three.

                    WTF, this has nothing to do with Cotto. Shut your punk ass up and go lick your cheating Mexicans taint.

                      He was actually the man to beat at welter when Floyd fought him. As for the Mora fight, has Mosley ever looked good at 154?
