Leonard Ellerbe: "We're not interested in Mosley, he doesn't draw any kind of crowd"

[FLY TY]

shane also never called mayeather out like that a few years back when it looked like the fight could happen...hes doing it now when hes 38 and desperate for a ppv payday..do u expect anyone to disrespect anyone face to face on national tv with the whole 5 losses steroid shouts i know i dont...dont forget fighters are most vulnerable straight after fights that is when we have all see floyd most humble so for shane to pounce like that was a ***** move

was a big ***** move....

It got him fights, just not the ones he wanted, he didint want williams, berto etc, he wanted pac or mayweather, he wants the huge payday and didint do anything to stay busy in between that. I cant say i feel super sorry for him because he wanted the hugest payday, while thats understanable, there were other fights in between he could have taken to help rise his stock.

exactly.....shane's running around calling himself the best, when there's a guy still fight, at his current weight, that beat him...SMH

It was not wrong of Mosley to get on the microphone and say that a fight between the two of them would be a mega event. He did not get on the mic and say 'I'll beat you any day of the week, Floyd.'. He was invited into the interview by HBO and he was respectful, said his words and was backing off.

What happened was all because of Bernard Hopkins and his big mouth.

The article is just trash, making it out like Shane is a bully. He never disrespected Floyd. All he disrespected was Floyd's precious ego.

And why would Shane 'concede the stage' at the post-fight conference. He's a member of GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS. He's ALWAYS on the stage post-fight.

Just a dumb article in my opinion.

Anyway I'm glad that what happened, happened. Floyd had cheated on the scales and I don't blame HBO for instigating a fight with a real welterweight.

it was more than wrong....'course haters like you obviously don't see it. when a man finishes a fight, and is doing an in-ring interview, you don't invite yourself into the ring and interject yourself into HIS interview, unless he invites you to do so.....that was disrespectful and desperate....**** shane mosley.....the author of the article is absolutely right, more than anything, shane probably has ruined any chances he ever had of getting the fight....**** him, he deserves it.

i've only seen **** like this, in movies....i've never seen another fighter enter the ring, and interrupt another fighter's post fight interview....in REAL life....only in movies.....

**** 'nard too.....i resect his fight game, but dude just lost a fan in me....he has challenges from the roy jones type, he needs to respond to, instead of lowering himself for a display as pathetic as this **** was.

This fight ain't happenin.

Man its just too bad it ain't. Its the fight i want to see!!!
Mosley is probably the only guy in WW strong and quick enough to break through mayweather Defense

They could still do this fight this year if Mayweather feels like fighting again if not then the Cotto/Pac winner would take priority over Mosley seven days a week.

[El Jesus]

I'm not sure that at his age, fights with Berto and Williams would do much more for his status. Paul Williams maybe but that's someone no one below 160 wants to fight and he isn't exactly a name.

I also find it interesting that Ellerbe is saying here that Mayweather and Mosley will fight. Could the other article be wrong?

//krikya360.com/?m=show&id=22329

he might have been quoted in the heat of the moment. Ellerbe may be a yes-man on camera but i have read that behind closed doors that he is mayweathers closest advisors and he tells mayweather exactly how he feels. i see this fight happening very soon.

[L.Ellerbe]

i see this fight as nailed on for february

[starjammer]

I was thinking the same thing jammer. The writer was writing an obvious op ed disguised as journalism.

Mosley did what he should've done. He helped his case not hindered it, now it will only make Floyd ducking him all the more graphic.

I feel the same way as Starjammer. Terrible article, incredibly biased towards Floyd. Journalists are supposed to report news while remaining neutral, not telling us how shameful Mosley's behavior was. Totally crap article written by someone who obviously can't get his tongue any further up Floyd's ass than it already is.

Mosley deserves a fight. End of story.

Exactly yeah, dunno who that guy is, but I thought Sports Illustrated was a big time, professional ****zine in the U.S. It's frustrating to read garbage articles like that.

I agree alot of it was hopkins, so i can see where you are coming from. Boss Hop was in there pushing his guy so he can cake off of the fight as a goldenboy ceo. In all honesty, that type of disrespect does fuel interest though, i certainly dont give a **** about a pac/mayweather fight after saturday. I have been waiting for SSM and PBF to get it on since they were both on the cover of ring ****zine togther, it was either ring of KO monthly.

I would love to see it too. It has to happen. Like you said, look at the interest created, the debate is raging amongst the fans. This would be a big, big fight. The media has to get behind it and demand it.

[shogunn]

the only thing ellerbe is interested in is ****

but this is a ***** move by the mayweather camp. JMM is not a bigger draw than SSM, if anything they are equal. Floyd should wear a skirt with the way he's ducking all these challengers and cherrypicking lightweights.

it was more than wrong....'course haters like you obviously don't see it. when a man finishes a fight, and is doing an in-ring interview, you don't invite yourself into the ring and interject yourself into HIS interview, unless he invites you to do so.....

Floyd did invite Shane to do so, he waved him over (and muttered something about basketball).

The problem about this fight is the moment PBF agrees to this fight then the same people who are saying Mayweather is ducking Mosley would be like why didnt Mayweather wait for the outcome of the Cotto/Pacman fight, Or Mosley is 40 blah blah blah.

I really dont mind this fight but its the negativity that would surround it that makes me hope he doesnt happen.

[starjammer]

it was more than wrong....'course haters like you obviously don't see it. when a man finishes a fight, and is doing an in-ring interview, you don't invite yourself into the ring

Shane was invited by HBO, and Floyd even beckoned him in. Shane always stands in the ring after a Golden Boy fighter has performed. He is part of the promotional company, do you know?

By the way, I'm not a hater. I have big respect for Floyd's talent, but none for his cheating on the scales, and if he angles himself out of this fight. I am a fan of boxing. I don't 'hate' on fighters because they are rivals of my fave fighters...I will leave that to others.
