Richard Schaefer on Tuesday told BoxingScene.com that negotiations for the much-discussed fight between WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7KOs) and "Sugar" Shane Mosley (46-8-1, 39KOs) have reached a financial sticking point.

Crappy fight anyway.

Much discussed?
Because it's crap.
What, is Jin in there trying to get moar money?

Too bad I think its an interesting little fight that means nothing in the larger picture

[MJ406]

what "finances" are keeping the fight from potentially not happening?

or is it the network Showtime, demanding that Malignaggi fight someone legitimate instead of a 41 year old and refusing to dish out more $$$

I'm curious to hear what specifically is getting in the way

and if Mosley-Malignaggi doesn't come off good ... it's a joke for Paulie anyway

[Ray Corso]

I'll throw in Twenty if it helps NOT make it happen!! Its a shame if Mosley needs the money but I've seen him at his best and thats a long time ago! He can greet in Vegas, its an open door for all past recognizable fighters!

Have pity on fans, it's a total waste of time.

How will boxing fans ever survive?

[Mike Haynes]

Word? You dudes are real corny. "Not because of Shane Mosley" sounds to me that Paulie knows it's a wrap and is trying to cash out. Shane sounds like he'll take whatever, meaning he doesn't need money. Quit playing yourselves and put some blame on Paulie.
