    Exactly the guy turned down a mega payday rematch with Oscar that right there should tell you that he doesn't want to fight anymore.:deal

    I thinl that we both agree on this one.

    I am not judging him on his career at 147 pounds, and I know he had a great run below 147. I am not saying PBF is scared or would lose.

    I am just stating, that in order to improve his legacy and to access to a comparable ATG status of greats like Duran and Leonard, PBF must fight the elite welterweight division. So, in terms of legacy it is irrelevant why a fight for instant with Mosely does not come off.

    Go ahead and look at the palm of your hand, and then move it rapidly towards your face until contact is made.

    Shane doesn't have big fan fair ... he can't put butts in seats ... he's a good fighter but he can't produce big numbers by himself ...

    What?

    So you're saying that Floyd won't make 10 mil in this fight?

    Damn, man. Who the hell do you wanna see Floyd fight? I thought you were a fan. I know if I'm fan, I wanna see him fight as much as possible.

    I don't understand some of ya'll.

    Floyd made 25m base purse fighting Hatton and that doesn't include US and UK PPV rates and the gate.

    Thats going down bro ... not going up --

    I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good fight but its not going to be a big money maker like "Undefeated" or "Golden Boy v Pretty Boy"

    I can't see financially why anyone in FLoyd's position would want to fight Mosely right now.

    He's from Cali and he was getting booed ... if it weren't for Margarito's new found "Mexicali" status ... that house wouldve been empty.

    He can't fill an arena --

    Hatton, Pacquiao, DLH, and Cotto can --

    WTF

    It looks like the guy is serious.

    Perhaps only Pac can bring him out and the longer this goes the more likely it is he stays retired.

    But why do I care about how much money he gets?

    I don't get any of that money.

    I just like to see fights, bro.

    Floyd Senior " Man Shane turned down the fight with lil floyd twice. I don't understand why everybody saying that Floyd was the one that ducked when it was Shane....it's the truth. We offered him the fight when floyd was at jr lightweight and lightweight and he turned down both times.

    For proof (since I cant post link due to violations) go to the hype.

    END THREAD:hat

    Exactly but these idiots won't read it or they'll just choose to ignore it and make up bull****.:-( The truth is PBF was chasing both Oscar and Mosley for years even as far back as when PBF was at 130.

    Pimp, I know that Floyd is your boy, but as a fan, do you wanna see this fight?

    Ducking allegations aside...
