Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Mosley To Be Announced Soon

[S.G.]

I think the PPV buys will probably look similar to Pac-Cotto's

1.2m-ish

[-Reflexes-]

Im stoked for this ****.

Floyd back and cleaning house.

[Carpe Diem]

The Pacfarts are still going to crucify him once the fight is official.

[iloveboxing2]

Yes!!! I hope they finalize the fight....

...this week. Go Shane~~~!!!

I see where you coming from... I think Mosley will be rusty and Floyd's style will make him even look more rustier if you will...

But we don't live in a perfect world... if it where May and Mosley are 26 in their prime... top draws and fighting it out at 135 *loooooooooooooooool*

For me personally I can't blame Mayweather for that... I mean May won't have said listen Shane you fight nobody and not even a tune-up... it is what it is... ppl will find a way to discredit anything but I think as the fight gets closer you will feel the excitement too JRo... Mosley is pro enough and should find his rhythym... it's not like Mayweather will roll right over him...

I am not blaming Floyd either... Like I said Floyd gets credit from just to fight Shane... win/lose he gets credit...

But, there are some fans who say that Floyd fought JMM because he was coming off an 18 month layoff so he was taking care of some rust... But, then I say well Shane is coming off a 16 month layoff so is not out of the question that there might be some rust... But, those same people who said Floyd was taking care or rust are saying I am making excuses... All I ask is for consistency...

The article says that all points have been agreed on. Does this include random blood tests? If Floyd Jr. wanted Pacquiao, a fighter who has never tested positive to drug testing, to submit to random blood tests, then he should insist that Mosley, who has been caught cheating once, to do the same. If not, then this whole random blood test business with Pacquiao was just an excuse to avoid fighting Manny and risk his "zero".

I think if we add up the whole World then yes it can be done... But, just with here in the States... IMO having a fight between 2 different nationalities help more in the PPV buys... Because you would have the casual of said country buying it... For example casual Mexican fans from Texas and California would but Floyd-JMM just to support JMM, casual fans from New York will buy Pac-Cotto just to support Cotto... Again this is my opinion... I think the casual Pinoy's in the West Coast will buy a Pac fight just to support Pac, the casual U.K fans in New York, new jersey or in Illinois will suport a Hatton fight...

I think hardcore fans will buy this regardless... I think the African American community wants this fight... I think American casual fans will buy this fight... I honestly believe this fight can do 1.5... but, I am not sure if it can do more because the casual fans in this country that have a different nationality might not buy it... But, 1.5 by all means is a huge event... is not diss... I don't think it can do 2mil... But, I will hope it does... I wish it does...

Is boxing I want every fight to be successful... I want Hopkins-Jones to do 2mill... will it probably not... I think if it does 500k is a great success but I hope it does 2mill... as a fan I want every fight to be successful...

I wasn't the one who said 2 million bro *loooooooool* I hope you ain't thought I was burner dude... **** can get ugly in a minute *looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool*

I said between 1.2 and 1.5... so we have the same idea...

To tell you the truth it is good for boxing if ppl buy but I'm still not sure if I want that Jones-Hopkins will be a success... both in their prime no question about that but NOW... Hopkins will have to carry Jones for probably 4 or 5 rounds at least before knocking him out or ppl will riot *loooooooooooooooooooool* I mean the Green fight ain't looked good...

Yeah, Jones-Trinidad did also pretty good even though it was way too late... If they do have a million it would def. be a success

You do know thats perfectly fine for WW fights right?

No it's not perfectly fine. Nevada is one of the only places on the planet where welters wear 10oz (but if both sides agree they can wear 8oz). Since Cotto Margs when nevada change its rules and allowed 8oz all the big fights have been with 8oz. Cotto pac and margs have never worn 10oz in their careers. Mosley wore 8oz for cotto and margs. AND YES IT IS A BIG DEAL. ******* WEAR 10OZ IF THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO WEAR 8OZ. ANY OTHER STATE OR COUNTRY AND THEY HAVE TO WEAR 8OZ.

Mosley already said he would do it before official negotiations even kicked off....therefore we can assume the answer to that is yes....especially give Leonard Ellerbe has already stated all future fights with his charge will be subjected to random testing regime
