by David P. Greisman - The conversation shifts, then shifts again. And again. And so on.
There was a time in 2009 when we were talking about Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley. Then we were talking about Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. And then it was Mosley-Mayweather again and Pacquaio-Joshua Clottey.
We sought Pacquiao-Mayweather once more, but we did not get what we want. And so we had Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito. And now we will have Pacquiao and Mosley.
The conversation soon turned to how this fight once again wasn’t Pacquiao against Mayweather. We talked about how it also wasn’t Pacquiao against any of the up-and-coming fighters at junior welterweight or welterweight. We spoke of how it was Pacquiao against a Shane Mosley who had just come off lesser performances against Mayweather and Sergio Mora.
And then the conversation shifted once more.
HBO was not distributing the Pacquiao-Mosley pay-per-view. Instead, in a coup, it would be Showtime. And CBS – with its broadcast television audience – would be airing commercials for the pay-per-view, as well as episodes of Showtime’s “Fight Camp 360” series. [Click Here To Read More]
