MAYWEATHER vs. MOSLEY on MAY 1st???...

Why?


Why shouldn't Floyd, who's supposed to be the #1 P4P fighter in the sport, take on nothing but the best? Why should he take fights against lesser opponants?

People who think like that are just contributing to the problems in boxing.

I am waiting for him to sign to fight someone. I already said I wouldn't watch/support a Hatton (either of them) or Malignaggi fight on March 13.

I'm not ripping on Manny. I think Manny wants the fight. I've been saying all along that ARUM doesn't want the fight. Is that clear enough for you?

As for me being a PBF fan first, boxing fan second, that's retarded. People said that to me regarding RJJ. RJJ is at the end of his career and here I am.

 

Do U EVER Post about Boxing WITHOUT Mentioning its "Problems" Or Coming w/that "Doom & Gloom" Shit???...



REED:shit:

 

Ahem, #2 P4P fighter :kidcool:

Slagging off boxing aside, Floyd should be allowed a tune-up after a layoff, but that's it. Not two tune-ups, it's now time to fight a proper welterweight, and a good one too, not Matthew Hatton.

 

That part is completely untrue - yesterday was the absolute drop-dead business day to save Pacquaio-Mayweather, meaning that it had to be officially announced today or tomorrow (read: press conference) in order to get everything in motion.

I agree that fighting Shane next (or Berto should an upset come out of Jan 30) would go a very long way into restoring credibility. But it's hardly a given that it's Floyd's next fight. Schaefer has been quoted elsewhere that they're not budging from March 13, that it's been his date all along and is already backing off of the claim that Floyd-Shane is the fight we should next expect.

All I take out of this is Schaefer trying to keep pace in his current shit slinging contest with Arum. Sorry, but Floyd versus any top welterweight continues to be a "see it to believe it" moment. If it happens, :bears: to Floyd - though at the same time, it's Schaefer doing all of the talking right now. I'm very curious to hear Floyd's thoughts on all of this, since he's always spouting about being his own boss, having never hesitated to bash Pac for allowing Arum to always speak on his behalf...

 

Why is March 13th such an important date? The fight should have been paramount over any specific date.

Schaefer's Two Cents
Schaefer said that, first of all, Mosley is still under a fighter contract with Golden Boy.
"Shane is mistaken," said Schaefer, who said he would not get into specifics.
That out of the way, Schaefer suggested he has taken good care of Mosley. He agreed it's a shame that Mosley will end up being off for a year after Margarito, and that Mosley certainly was deserving of a fight with either Pacquiao or Mayweather.
"We pushed hard for a big fight," Schaefer said.
Schaefer said Mosley could have fought before Berto, but that Mosley wanted to wait and see if something would materialize with either of the other two. When it didn't, Schaefer said he went about securing a three-fight deal for Mosley with HBO for 2010. Two of those fights - the first with Berto - are slated for regular HBO. The other would be on its pay-per-view arm.
Schaefer also brought up a conversation he said he had with Mosley and De La Hoya back in 2007, before De La Hoya fought Mayweather in May of that year.
"Shane and me and Oscar were sitting here in my office talking about the Mayweather fight," Schaefer said Tuesday from his Golden Boy offices in Los Angeles. "Shane said he didn't really want to do the fight right then, that he wanted to take a cross-country trip with his family. Oscar said, 'You have first choice.' "
Schaefer said Mosley had made up his mind and that De La Hoya then took the fight with Mayweather instead.
"It's not like within the last couple of years that fight wasn't there," Schaefer said. "It was there. Do I think that eventually one of these fights are going to happen? Yes, I do. Shane is an unbelievable fighter and, for me, if Shane sits and doesn't fight, then we don't make any money. We have a percentage deal. I wouuld like Shane to fight every month."

 

Not sure what you think this proves....

 

It was important for Pac-Mayweather because Pac is running for office in May.

Schaefer's point of contention (to which I agree, even though I'm vehemently against networks assigning dates without guaranteed fights) is that the March 13 date was his all along, beginning with when Hopkins and Jones were supposed to have their rematch, before Roy was forced to play the victim role in Wrapgate: Down Under Style. Once that fight fell apart, plans moved for Pacquiao-Mayweather to take its place.

Because that fight isn't happening, Schaefer believes its still his HBO date to play with. Like I said, based on their current practices, I agree with Schaefer - not to mention that HBO has already fucked him out of a few dates in the recent past.

 

I asked BD a question because I wanted to hear his answer, not because I wanted to see you wet your diaper. So clean up your mess and move along.

Yeah, let's just all follow your lead and suck Floyd's cock, REED! He can't do no wrong! It's people like you who've f*cked up the sport, not Floyd. Floyd's just doing what he knows he can get away with because motherf*ckers on this board will still happily pay for whatever sh*t he throws out.
You don't have any retort either other than to suck Floyd's cock even more and call us "Cowards" because we don't box professionally.:laughing:

 

Exactly. bigdawg and REED are both happily contributing to the major problem in boxing. And they don't even know it which is sad.::
All they both give a sh*t about is sucking Floyd's cock and being happy that Floyd makes millions of dollars and has a nice little 0 on his record. F*ck legit competition. It's about MAKING BANK!!!!

 

People who think like that are just contributing to the problems in boxing.


It's Already Been ESTABLISHED that U CAN'T Differentiate btwn a "TRIO" & a "DUO", but NOW We're Finding Out that U DON"T Even Know what the Fuck a QUESTION Is...

Brilliant!


REED:hammert:

 

Quite Honestly, REED DOESN'T "Retort" Because U're NOT Worth 1, Hanz...

REED:mj:

 

You are correct PBF should face a true welterweight. However since the fight wit Manny Pac fell through and he eneds a stay busy fight why not take a tune up and fight the Shane next. I mean be realistic what big name welterweights are available? Clottey is facing Pac. Though I would have loved PBf to take that fight but Cotto isn't availavle. Williams wit that deep cut may or may not be available, shane/berto is fighting. So who should he fight. Now if he fights shane then all that step up and fight a real welterweight can be left alone.

As far as me contributing to boxings problems. First off I'm a fan of the sport. To be honest I'm not one of those that fills that boxing is dying. How can it be when ppv's amongst the big stars continue to flourish. So therefore I don't feel like I'm a problem of boxing. But if you and othets feel like their are issues or hate what boxing is doing or certain stars why post in a boxing website. Why watch the sport. Like I mentioned before I don't watch MMA so therefore I don't go to MMA websites nor do I frequent those types of websites. By the way if you didn't get excited for Kessler/ward, Dirrell/Froch, Petersen/Bradley, Manny/Cotto, and now Shane/Berto then you are and never will be a fan of the sport. Izlll Holla 5000

 

You can type in the biggest font this site allows, it still doesn't change the fact that you're wetting your diaper. I asked BD a question, and he gave me his answer. If all you can do is cry like a baby about the question, rather then answer the question itself, then don't even bother because you just look like an idiot.

That Shane has been ducking Floyd all this time. I am sure you would have understood if Floyd said what Shane did.

 

Fair enough. But how about taking on someone bigger than him, like a Kermit Cintron. Cintron may not be elite, but he's certainly legit, and he's not some blown up lightweight.

Everybody here reads you like a book when it comes to Floyd threads, REED. We all know you're deathly afraid of saying anything negative when it comes to your beloved Floyd. It's almost like you're paid to defend his ducking ass! Instead of calling a spade a spade, all you can do is attack forum members for ridiculing your hero. Warranted or not, you just can't bring yourself to accept the fact that your hero has played it safe and cowers from challenges.
Like I said, as long as Floyd is making bank and has his precious 0, the REED household is happy.::

 

Double L is right. How many fucking times have you mentioned that stupid tooth comment and how many fucking times have I pointed out to you where Shane said months before that interview that he had already planned on taking a break from fighting and going on a trip with his family because he had fought 3 times that year.

So really your dumbass point can really be taken as Floyd once again making it look like he wanted to fool the masses by offering Shane a fight during the very time period that Shane had already said he wouldn't be available.

But you keep pushing that stupid tooth comment like you always do and don't forget to once again act like you didn't see me reply to you.

 

The fact remains that Shane ducked Floyd because of a toothache, and before that too. Anyone who followed the sport back then knows this to be true. Stop trying to rewrite history.

 

G deserves the criticism for the fight not happening back then in 2006. I never blamed Floyd for the fact that Mosley doesn't appear high on the G hierarchy.

But now the criticism goes to Mayweather, as he could wait until May 1st to fight the Berto-Mosley winner. Is the March 13th date THAT important? G has it, they can give it to someone else. Instead we're hearing about shitty matchups such as Mayweather fighting Paulie Malignaggi or Nate Campbell. :shit:

 

The rewriting history part is what you're trying to do. You can't duck a fight if you already said before the question was asked that you weren't fighting anymore that year. So you can try to twist shit around all you like the fact remains Shane has never ducked Floyd in his life.

I mean we can discuss who's the coward here all day if you like. I'll start. How many top 5 welters has Shane fought in the last 2 years? Let's see Margarito, and Cotto and he's about to fight Berto and begged to fight Floyd and Pacquiao.

How many top 5 welter weights has your hero Floyd fought in his life? Goose egg motherfucker!

 

I don't blame Gs. Shane didn't want to fight 4 times in 1 year and that's his right. To be honest I don't even consider Floyd as having ducked Shane during that period either. I had no problem with Floyd fighting Oscar because Oscar was just as good a challenge as Shane not to mention he presented a much larger payday.

If anything I think Floyd was smart to fight Oscar over Shane. At the same time I'm not going to let a bunch of idiots try to tell me that Shane ducked Floyd because that's not the case either.

 

You sound confused. Doub L wasn't even talking about the tooth thing. He was replying to what Shane told G that he turned down a fight with Floyd in 07. You know the other time that Shane ducked Floyd.

 

Well looks like he did. That time.

 

So you are telling me Floyd was willing to fight Shane in 2007 instead of Oscar and Hatton?

I have never heard of an offer to Shane in 07. Got any links or anything to a reliable sourse stating there was an offer made to Shane?

 

didnt even get to the offer stage, mosley didnt want the fight according to his promoter.
