By Robert Morales - It doesn't appear the relationship between "Sugar" Shane Mosley and Golden Boy Promotions will be mended any time soon. Mosley walked away from Golden Boy recently so he could pursue a fight with Manny Pacquiao, which he successfully secured for May 7 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
In Mosley's mind, had he continued to fight for Golden Boy, he would likely not have been able to get the fight because of the ongoing feud Oscar De La Hoya's company has with Bob Arum and his Top Rank Inc., which promotes Pacquiao.
Not only that, Mosley believes that Golden Boy wanted Juan Manuel Marquez to get a third fight with Pacquiao and that De La Hoya and his CEO, Richard Schaefer, didn't show any loyalty to a fighter - meaning Mosley - who was also a partner in Golden Boy.
"I think that is what is angering me more, that they wanted to have Juan Manuel Marquez have the fight," Mosley said. "I didn't realize it at the time, that the real focus was on Juan Manuel Marquez."
Mosley said that left a "bad taste" in his mouth. It became more sour when he saw that Golden Boy had begun inviting Mosley's soon-to-be ex-wife, Jin, to some of their recent cards. [Click Here To Read More]
