    he dont need to, they already agreed, they negotiating the deal behind closed doors.

    No need for a media frenzy when the fight being made under one roof.

    Thats the only reason i could think why the silence, because they are going to announce the fight here this week.

    Actually stylistically, Pacquiao is an easier opponent for Floyd than Mosley.

    I think Golden Boy are trying to get FMJ to fight Shane and he flat out doesnt want to.
    Its a matter of how much leverage they have over him.

    FMJ is at a crossroads:
    If he fights Shane (win or lose) he gets credibility.
    If he fights someone far inferior (Hatton) he loses all credibility.
    If he fights someone ok (Cintron) he stays about the same.

    The shame for FMJ is that he could have beaten Pac easier than Shane, who may well spoil the party.

    I give him real kudos if he beats Shane. Thats a big-time win worthy of his talent-level.

    No, they would want a media frenzy, because it'd help sell the fight you moron.

    Mosley and Mayweather are both quiet because Mayweather aint sure just yet what to do. When and if he gets another fight signed, we'll hear from Shane :smoke

    are they supposed to consult us over every minor detail during negotiations? they've already said the fight could be signed by friday.

    no way. Pac is faster, moves better, and throws straighter puncher than Mosley, among other things. Mosley doesn't react well to fighters who can box.

    both stylistically and in terms of ability, Pac is a harder oppoenent.

    Again, please cite an example when Mayweather has been loud during contract negotiations. You won't find anything.

    Team Mayweather are always quiet during negotiations, this is nothing new. Just look at the Pacquiao/Mayweather negotiations, it was mostly Bob Arum and Pacquiao's team releasing public statements, not the other way around.

    Team Mayweather is very good about keeping things behind closed doors. Which is what you should do during contract negotiations.

    They want a media frenzy, it'll sell the fight. Just look pre-DLH.

    Pre-Hatton aswell, with Hatton calling Floyd out even though they mutually agreed to fight. :lol:
