    Thinking people wanted Mayweather Vs Mosley over Mayweather Vs Pacquiao is ridiculous.

    I'm not saying you thought that. My point is clear, Mosley wasn't looked at as a pointless/hopeless opponent heading to the Mayweather fight.

    These are not my thoughts, I'm just reminding people of what happened back then. As soon as talks broke down, Pacquiao went on to fight Cotto and Roach openly yelled "Mayweather should fight Mosley but he won't because he's scared". You seem to forget all the endless hype/attention Mosley got after the Mayweather/Marquez post fight interview. That gained the attention of A LOT of fans.

    Mayweather Vs Pacquiao after the Rios fight would still be May's biggest fight.

    He was supposed to fight Cotto but sadly Cotto and his team made it clear they're not ready yet and he's too "green". The only time Cotto became a serious opponent was when he moved to 147. At 140 that fight would have NEVER happened because Arum wasn't stupid to cash Cotto out so quick. Concreto was an unknown back then who's biggest win was Andrew "Six Heads Zero Chins" Lewis, only people that really wanted him to fight that joke were 14 cabbies.

    40 millions to Pacquiao and Mayweather was keeping all the PPV share. Who's the fool?! 40 millions to the PPV is nothing....if that's not call cherry picking, I don't know what it is.
