Why did Pacquiao vs Mosley happen??

[p4p-champ]

to be real people claimed he was ducking mosley,then when he signed to fight him they said he was ducking jmm..so you really cant complain....who else at ww is there for him to fight other than floyd?

To be real, people were claiming that he was ducking Mosley back when Mosley was relevant. Roach and his team wanted no part of Mosley back then and that's a fact. But Mosley after getting schooled by Floyd and looking horrendous versus the Latin Snake, is perfectly fine for team Pacquiao.

I seem to remember a lot of Pacquiao haters saying that Pacquiao had never beaten an elite African American fighter and then the fight got made shortly after that.

oh thats right because Shane Mosley was an Elite African American....

Because of ****** boxing fans. arum knew that a lot of idiots would pay to be bamboozled by him.

Not at his peak, but name a better one at welterweight not named Mayweather that could sell some PPVs

Because no matter how overmatched the opponents of Manny are, people still buy the PPV. Same goes for Mayweather.

I'm not trying to diss Pacquiao or anything, but I'm just really curious. What was the reason for this fight?? There was no reason for this fight to happen. I mean they sold it as "They are both fighters that come forward." But, that's really no reason to have made this fight. I mean, the Pacquiao-Marquez III fight is a pointless fight also, but at least there is a story and history behind it. So I can understand why that fight is happening. But why Shane Mosley?? No story, No controversy, No history, and No coming off of a win. I truly believe that there would have been better fights. I think a Cotto rematch would have been better. Why Mosley?? Wouldn't it be logical to fight...winners?? Isn't that how it goes?? Am I weird for thinking this??

I'm not dissing Pacquiao. I'm a Pacquiao fan also, so as a Pac fan, I want to see Pac in a more serious fight.

cause mosley made floyd go wobbly, and people wanted to see if mosley could do it to pac

People wanted PAC to fight some Blacks and the best Black didn't have any balls so it's not PAC fault.
