Comments Thread For: Mosley Refuses To Return To Australia For Mundine

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

American great Shane Mosley says he doesn't intend to return to Australia to fight Anthony Mundine and has labelled the country's boxing scene "behind the times" and "almost like the mafia days".

Mosley flew back to the US on Tuesday morning, walking out on Wednesday's scheduled fight with Mundine in Sydney, claiming a breach of contract by promoter Vlad Warton in failing to pay the remainder of his $1 million purse in advance.

The former three-time world champion said Warton was contractually obliged to pay a $700,000 upfront fee 10 days before he entered the ring.

That's crazy, Shane said he ain't no fool.

Good stuff Shane. Screw those snake ass promoters.

Were they going to pay him the other guaranteed money after the fight?

[Augustane]

He doesn't have to. That was a **** show which would've never happened in the USA.

[WESS]

I'm glad it didn't happen. Too good Mosley needs to hang them up like everyone suggested he should have done after he lost to Floyd years ago. Yet I can see why he needed the money.

So did he get to keep the 700k?

It's not like he's going to hang them up whether it happens or not tho.
