Shane is not under any TR agreement for future fights. He has stated this many many times. Not sure why people keep saying this. And on that point, Shane also didn't break from GBP. He hasn't been under a promotional contract with them in over 2 years. He simply used them to promote his fights since he was a partner in GBP. Also not sure why no one else hasn't brought this up. But GBP didn't use their heads in the way they have dealt with Shane. If they would have played it cool Shane would have come right back to GBP after this bout. Now being that Shane is 39 going on 40 he isn't much of a loss. But lets say Shane somehow pulled the upset. Shane would have come back to GBP and you would have Bob Arum right where you wanted him.
although you're probably right, I'm pretty sure Top Rank is making 100% of the promotional money off Pac vs Mosley. I don't see why Top Rank would wanna sign Mosley anyways, the guy is on the brink of retirement. I don't see him upsetting Pac. He probably gets taken to school
Correct. Alot of the hate and misinformation about this separation is coming from latino fans who (know JMM cant beat Manny) but are still upset by Pac's success against latino fighters.
GBP is sh*t at promotion.. all they do is stand behind their fighters and take photos. what a joke these guys are..
Mosley supposedly has to sell back his share of the company for 1000 bucks. something like that. According to Fat Dan at ESPN, Arum also has options on Mosley's next fight, so i'd expect a rematch against Cotto or Marg also. He's in the right position to set that up after Shane gets his face rearranged. Sad, because I like Shane and I'd rather he didn't get fed to Pacquiao like this. I never thought Shane Mosley would be fodder for a stay busy fight.
Surprised you're back after your ****-talk prior to the Mayweather fight. I read that Arum has a one-fight promotional option on Mosley if he wins the Pac fight. This is about as close to "signing" with Top Rank as a 39 year old can get IMO.
WTF???!! I learned about Shane Mosley's move to Top Rank from our local negro Pimp C. I don't know how you came up with your conclusions about JMM and Latinos making things up about Mosley moving to TR, but I'll tell you one thing for sure, You're full of ****.
Yeah, they're a ****ing joke, because they don't **** around and they match their best against the best, fights fans want to see, something Top Rank can't say very often.
He sure has signed with Top Rank don't be stupid. I'm sure bob will feed him to one of his top rank hype jobs after this fight, bob's already got the blueprint mapped out, grab your popcorn.
One correction: it appears per espn that Arum has one option win or lose for shanes next fight. But after that Shane is back to being a free agent. I guess you call this a security clause just in case Shane pulled off the biggest upset since Douglas. Well I guess it wouldn't be close to being that big.
