HBO, Golden Boy Shame Shane At Mayweather’s Expense

[boxingfan76]

I agree with the article as well. Mosley should walk into his boss' office and demand a fight. Do not blame Mayweather. He had his chance and he chose to go on vacation and repair his sore tooth. They will fight at some point however just as he is willing to drop his fight with Berto, Mayweather is looking to get Pacquiao first. For what? Nothing other than $$$, which is why most fighters fight. It is by far the more lucrative fight. Shane is a threat and the fight generates less money. Those are the facts.

Why does every fighter Mayweather fights and beats all of sudden become less credible? Baldomir had the size to beat him, then after the fight, he was inexperienced. Zab had speed, then, he is not credible. Ricky Hatton would be the first to beat him, then, another excuse. Come one. He beat them fair and square. When he beats Manny and Cotto, there will be more excuses.

JMM IS A LITWEIGHT A GREAT ONE FRAUD JR , HAS NOT CLEANED OUT HIS OWN DIVISION AT ANY POINT AND THAT IS WELTERWEIGHT.WHY IS THAT SOOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND HELL NEVER GET CREDIT UNTIL HE DOES SO, THERES BERTO,WILLIAMS,COTTO MARGARITO,FRAUD HAS DUCKED THEM ALL!!! AND THEN FIGHTS 140lbs good ones and some great liteweights and hes thwe best welter PLEASE PEOPLE WAKE UP GAYWEATHER IS THE BIGGEST FRAUD, HE VERY WELL MAY CLEAN OUT THE WELTERWEIGHTS HIS OWN CLASS, BUT HAS NOT DONE SO IN THE PAST AND CONTINUES TO NOT DO SO MAKING HIM A TOTAL FRAUD!!!!!! people should wakeup!!!!

[GRUSTLER]

MOSLEY HAS LITTLE TIME TO SHINE LEFT AND MOSLEY HAS NEVER DUCKED THAT GAY FRAUD JR!!!! HE WENT ON VACATION 4 YEARS AGO!!! IF THATS A DUCK THERES ALWAYS A SECOND CHANCE!!! EVEN IF HE DID DUCK HIM HE AINT DUCKING HIM NOW!!! it says a lot when gayweather wont fight an aging 38- year old mosley cuz hes scared!!!! gayweather DUCKED MARGARITO ,COTTO EVEN MAYORGA EVERYBODY THAT MOSLEY STEOPPED UP AND FACED WINKY WRIGHT COUNTLESS OTHERS. GAYWEATHER IS A TOTAL FRAUD THAT ONLY FACES LITWEIGHTS OR 140LBERS, TOTAL FOKKIN COWARD AND DUCKER OF the worst type and then we have to hear how great he is self proclaimed and otherwise!!! i feel like puking !!! mosley the man to beat at welter not pac and not fraud DUCKWEATHER.

Ok man, whatever you say but that doesnt take away
from the fact that Mosley has mismanaged his career
for far too long. I doubt very highly Floyd is scared of
any of those guys. All I have to say is lets see what
Floyd does next. I just feel like all the weight is on Floyd
shoulders and to me that doesnt seem fair. How can
you say "Oh Shane couldnt fight him then and thats cool
but NOW Floyd has to fight him because NOW Shane is
ready"? What sense does that make? Shane went on vacation
and let his wife dictate his career and blatantly had Shane
stay away from Floyd. Time has changed and Floyd is deciding
what to do with his career and whats so wrong with that?
Shane is going to get his and get shut up after all his whining
and complaining. If he was smart, he should of just fought
another fighter after Margarito like a rematch with Cotto
(in which he disregarded Cotto) or a fight with Clottey.
He had all the options but he opted to chase Pac and Floyd
so who fault is that?

god this article is so bias and you can tell just how much based upon the fact he doesnt say one good thing about any of the GBP clan. Funny how he doesnt state that for once Mayweather is going to take on an opponent his own size.

floyds not gonna be ready to fight by jan 30th. shane should just fight berto and then try and get a fight with floyd sometime next year. shane hasnt fought in a year and hes 38 he needs to fight someone. fighting floyd after not fighting for a year would be ****** but hes mismanaged his entire career so it wouldnt surprize me if he managed to **** this up too.

By Jake Donovan - For the better part of 2009, HBO and Golden Boy have collectively waffled over how exactly to proceed with the career of resurrected welterweight star “Sugar” Shane Mosley.

They have failed miserably. For that matter, so has Shane Mosley.

It should be a problem first for Mosley and Golden Boy to deal with from within, and then sort out the rest with HBO.

Instead, their follies have now somehow become Floyd Mayweather Jr’s problem.

Mayweather was barely five minutes into celebrating a virtual shutout over Juan Manuel Marquez in his first fight in more than 21 months before he was put on the spot to commit to his next fight.

The perception going into the evening was that Mayweather-Marquez was an expensive infomercial to sell a Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao super fight sometime next year, assuming that Pacquiao survives his November showdown with Miguel Cotto, by no means a given. [details]

I seem to recall that it was Mayweather that interrupted the pre-fight proceedings of the Hatton/Pacquiao fight to announce that he was coming out of retirement to fight Marquez. The guy couldn't even call his own private press conference, he had to piggback on the publicity of that fight which was promoted by Goldenboy. So for Mayweather to whine about Mosley interrupted his moment is kind of hypocritical and silly. Fighters call each other out all the time in all kinds of circumstances, it's part of the business. I think where Goldenboy went wrong was when Oscar tried to sell a possible Mosley-Mayweather fight as more lucrative than a Mayweather/Pacquiao bout.

[IMDAZED]

It appeared to me that Mosley was in the ring because...he's a GBP exec. He was in the ring prior to the fight as well. Floyd called him over which is how the whole thing started. Pointing fingers, I'd say Hopkins was the instighator and Max completely failed and came off as a total jackass.

Shane is not very bright. He comes off as a smart guy but now
his true colors is showing. He absolutely DESTROYED Margarito!
and should have went for a Cotto rematch EARLY to settle
everything and Im sure if he would have challenged and beat
Cotto this time around, Floyd and or Pac would have known Mosley
was the man to beat BUT instead of Mosley taking charge of his
career and making some smart business decisions, he left his career
in the hands of other fighters who have their own careers? Sure in
a perfect world the best fight the best BUT now in these days and
times you have to make yourself into the fighter to beat. Sure Mosley
had a great win over Margarito and a action packed career but he still
didnt put himself in that lime light like Floyd and Pac. Discredit him
all you want, but Floyd did right by going after Oscar and Hatton.
Regardless if you want to count Mitchell/Zab/Baldomir as legit WWs,
Fact of the matter is two out of the 3 held titles and Floyd became
the Lineal champ of the division and forced Oscar hand. Why didnt
Mosley just go after a rematch with Cotto or just fight and beat Clottey
to own the division? Way better bargaining and leverage then just
saying "Look, Im the best, fight me" Shane should have been wiser
after Margarito and he would have came off big time BUT I just think
he doesnt feel that confident with having 1 or 2 more fights before
Floyd and wants to cash out right now and retire. If that wasnt the
case he would have fought at WW again by now and strengthen his
position. A lot of posters on here are writing with the feelings and
getting too emotional with this because Mosley F**Kd up not anyone
else.

look mate we can tell you dont like pbf and you think juice head mosley is great,which is fair enough because thats your opinion,but to call pac and pbf and the rest of the fighters cowards you are way wrong and tripping big time,paul willams has been looking for a fight against ur great juice head mosley and so has clottey and cintron has put himself in the picture aswell,so why does he keep chasing pbf or pac,its for the money and if he losses his next fight to any of the other fighters,he wont get another big pay day.when pbf wanted to fight,mosley didnt want none of it,not because he was scared but money wise it didint make sense for him,just like now,for pbf to fight juice head mosley now is not the best option because we could have a mega between pbf and the winner of pac vs cotto.dont get me wrong id like to see pbf whoop steriod freak mosleys backside but everyones going to have to wait.if mosley wants to fight,uve got clottey and berto waiting all has to do is ask

A Mayweather/Mosley fight is not going to happen anytime soon. Next stop for the Mayweather camp is Pac around May or June. Mosley's best best is to pray for a Cotto victory in November. I think Floyd would prefer to fight Mosley rather than Cotto. Floyd is looking for that huge payday.
