    I hope it happens. I have my doubts. Floyd looks too much at dollars and risk. He does not want to prove he is great like Hagler or Hearns or Duran or Leonard. Regardless of the losses those guys had, they fought them all so that itself proves something. I think it is better to fight them all then to not fight and have a winning record. Mosley would be a great name on Mayweather's resume. Great name.

    Yeah I dont know where the **** he gets that PBF will only make 10 million or less facing Mosley and 40 million for Pac. You can tell with the opening line right away that the author is a biased **** head.

    Floyd has no more viable option other than Mosley. Cintron, Williams, Paulie, Berto are all booked. Maybe Mosley realizing that he's the only viable option for Floyd demanded a 50-50 purse split.

    Floyd will be dammed if Matthew Hatton signs a fight with other boxers. :D

    Mosley is a welter champ, the no. 2 welter (behind Pac, Floyd no. 3) and he's accomodating Floyd. Mosley could have fought Berto in April but instead waits for Floyd. Mosley expecting a fair treatment from Floyd this time or else Floyd will be laughed ducking 2 big fights in succession (Pac and Shane).

    Pure speculation from someone with zero credibility.

    Could be speculations but think about this. We all know Floyd is scared losing his "0" and there's a pretty good possibility he will lose it to Mosley. What happens then is PAC vs. Mosley will be the next big fight and Floyd left in the sidelines.

    Maybe Floyd is thinking it's much better to wait for PAC-Clottey result than risk his "0" against Mosley.

    Berto pulled out, not Mosley.

    Mosley couldn't have fought Berto, considering he pulled out.

    Like I said, Mosley demanding 50/50 is laughable, because I doubt he would and 2 if he did, Floyd has every right to laugh in his face. Because Mosley needs Floyd.

    That's the case. Mosley is the current Champ in the division where Mayweather is residing.

    Means nothing considering he's not the ring champ or the linear champion.

    Wouldn't matter if he was. It's all about who's the bigger draw, not who's the champ. Cotto was the reigning champ when he fought Pac yet he only received about 33% of the pot.
