    You say probably not but you're making this argument like it's a fact. Look I'm not saying that Spinks is a killer at the box office, but he did used to sell out when he was champ, if memory serves me correct. I could be wrong though. All I'm saying is Mosley was never a big box office killer himself. Hell, if Mosley was fighting Spinks it probably wouldn't be a PPV either.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    You dont seem to understand that your signature has been airbrushed,.. ...that pale southern bow necked gokkkel would have been biting it, sucking it, punching it, striking it with a whip.. in addition to rubbing his viral swine flu cock all over it,.. she would be chaffed up with sperm, puss, broth, maggots, all caked into the shrivelled toxic crevices of a fuminating middle-aged arse. I think it's time to leave the flesh around grandma's pelvis alone Illuminati,...bring her down gently.

    True. If you call out guys who are retired (even if a phoney one) who are in heavier weight classes you can't exactly expect them to make the move. Marquez knew what weight Floyd was at. If you won't fight the guy there then don't bring his name up.

    At the same time Marquez is not the only guy who called out Mayweather.

    I can't back Floyd all the way on this one. When you only reply to guys calling you out who represent the smallest risk with the highest award there's only so far you can cry the "but they called me out". angle.

    Everyone "calls out" the big names, or even the not-so-big names, in boxing.

    Margarito, Mosley, Spinks, even Courtney Burton called out Mayweather. Mayweather called out Hamed, Freitas, Dorin, Tszyu, etc...Toney has called out like every boxer on the planet.

    I don't see why anyone cares about it.

    It's just a way to add hype or get our name out there, but a real "call out" is calling the fighter's team on the phone and trying to work out a deal.

    REED was just Gonna Say, Ticket Prices N St. Louis R NOWHERE NEAR Vegas or Cali or MSG Prices...Not even Close...Mainstreams Fans have @ Least HEARD of Sugar Shane Mosley...if, If, IF Mainstream Fans have Heard of Cory Spinks (HIGHLY DOUBTFUL), they Probably Think he's the Same Guy that Got KO'ed by Mike Tyson N the 1st Round....

    He's making a comeback?

    He's probably doing it now because Tyson has retired.

    I don't really understand that argument, from Mayweather's perspective.

    A lot of guys have called Mayweather out (that he hasn't fought).

    Shane can't draw and yet people want to see him fight.

    Spinks can draw to St. Louis and no one else wants to see him fight.

    Mosley called out Floyd and offered $8 million...still a pussy in my book.

    He's simply looking for any road around Shane and the easiest at that.

    They were more expensive then $0 which was what Shanes tickets was going for against Mayorga because of the poor ticket sales.

    It's true. Spinks can draw way more people fighting no one in St. Louis than Mosley could fighting no one anywhere on the planet.

    I would imagine Spinks-Latimore would have done well as they are both from St Louis.

    I always thought Spinks could have beaten Floyd but the dude is on the decline big style.

    I would still prefer to see PBF Vs Spinks than the suggested JMM fight.

    Excuse me for having a life beyond this message board.

    I see no facts here. Where are these awesome numbers for Spinks fights? He draws in St Louis and no place else on earth. The fact is Spinks vs Floyd MIGHT do a good number of ticket sales, it would not be on PPV and Mosley vs Floyd certainly would. I'm telling you right now, more people will pay to see Mosley and Floyd fight than Spinks vs Floyd.

    It's true he has a good fan base in St Louis I won't dispute that. It's ONLY in St louis though. Over all, are you really going to say Spinks is the bigger draw?

    Shane is a PPV fighter against any big name. Who the fuck is going to pay to see Spinks?

    The cable company only cares about the PPV revenue...they don't get a cut of the gate. That's for the promoters to worry about. With that said, Mosley vs Mayweather is a PPV fight whereas Mayweather vs Spinks is a Boxing After Dark show.

    Hell, as well as Spinks - Lattimore did at the gate it was STILL a ShoBox show...meaning, Showtime didn't put very much money into it.

    For shame, Stinger. Spinks isn't even a poor man's Benitez. Benitez had the radar. Spinks had legs and a pesky jab.

    Spinks might pack them in in his hometown with $5 tickets, but he's hardly a box office darling. Mosley would draw more.:lol:

    If Shane Mosley & Cory Spinks EACH Fought in St. Louis on the SAME Night, @ DIFFERENT Venues, w/Tickets Priced THE SAME, Shane would OUTSELL Spinks...Shane is @ Least ON the CURRENT Mainstream Radar...Cory Spinks has a LAST NAME that Mainstream Fans Heard Nearly 20 Years Ago...

    MORESO, if Shane Fought Cory Spinks IN St. Louis, Shane STILL Would Get the BIGGER Cut of the Purse...

    Shane couldn't get a bigger crowd in STL then Spinks if they gave his tickets away for free.
