Comments Thread For: Mosley Could Break $7 Million Mark in Pacquiao Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

On May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao will defend his WBO welterweight title against Shane Mosley. Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs), who won the WBC junior middleweight belt, is his last ring appearance, will head back to welterweight. Mosley was chosen over WBO/WBA lightweight king Juan Manuel Marquez (51-5-1, 38 KOs) and WBC welterweight belt-holder Andre Berto (27-0, 21 KOs).

So wait. Shane Mosley, a fighter whos gave up and lost to Floyd Mayweather and then lost a boring fight to Sergio Mora, deserves $5 mil and Marquez doesn't?! That's BS! Yeah Marquez' fights may not have been great big events, but he's still been involved in better fights than Mosley and has performed way better than Mosley has. I don't understand how Mosley can be given a guarenteed $5 mil, while Marquez asks for the same amount but is rejected. Am I the only one that thinks this is complete BS?

Isn't that a similar deal to what JMM wanted? Nice cherrypicking.

JMM is not a draw. You don't get 900k agaisnt Katsidis and you don't asked for 5 million dollars guarantee.

Exactly what i was thinking. Marquez asks for the same amount, gets turned down. Then Mosley, who's come out with two lackluster losses in 2010 asks for the same and gets it? I love Manny, I'm a big fan, but this really makes him look bad. On one hand, I can understand him wanting to take an easier fight since he's come off some tough matches. But on the other hand, the purse issue kind of makes things look bad for him and Bob Arum.

he got this on himself. . . he could have gotten it if only he used a classy approach to get the rematch. I honestly believe though he doesn't want to fight Pac this time.

If GBP and Top Rank worked on their relationship, Marquez would be seeing his fight with Manny.
