So more or less he priced himself out. Mosley ain't gonna be able to sell like that. I doubt he''ll get that even with Pac. You can't say Mosley turned him down when he asked for money he knew wasn't there for the fight. By the way what in comparison is he getting for the Marquez fight it sure as hell ain't 20 mil.
20 Million against Mosley in his first fight back. Sounds about right. There is 20 million for the fight. They just didn't want to pay him.
Mosley has never done big numbers. The only mentionable time you could say Mosley turned down the fight was after the 2nd Vargas fight when he said he was going to rest and get his tooth fixed. Either he should fight the big boys at welter or drop back down to junior welter and try and create his legact there. I can understand if he feels his body is that of a small welter,then cut the weight and try and clean up 140. My point is at that level you're boxing to prove you're the best if he fights two junior welters and a lightweight consecutively then jump back down. Mosley finally realized junior middle was too much so he went back to a more comfortable weight and now he really looks like a true welter.
Admittedly that is a bit lame, but it's better than either of them fighting JMM. At the same time though, if Pac weren't to fight a welterweight, who the hell does he fight?! There's no name even nearly big enough at 140 for him.
How is it better? Marquez is the 2nd best fighter in the world? And the size difference between Pacquaio and Cotto/Mosley is WAY bigger than the size difference between Floyd-Marquez. Double standards ftw.
