    Aside from the fight with Mayweather, how do you justify economically fighting Mosley instead of Marquez?? They are trying to choose the Marquez, Mosley or Berto fight based only on money sense (not on the best fight for the fans)

    Still, is it really a better money option fighting Mosley than Marquez??? I don´t believe so, specially seeing Mosley´s last two fights.

    How would you justify it ???(again, money wise)

    JMM & Pac already had 2 fights honestly I'm over it.
    Ready to see a new opponent.

    Money wise, unfortunately Shane is the better draw.
    I would prefer Bradley, Alexander or Berto. Unfortunately, these three are the lowest profit potentials.

    Shane is a lose-lose proposition, legacy wise.

    JMM has a slight upside that he can put that debate to rest. Unfortunately, considering his age and the likely weight it will happen (140 or 147), it will not enhance his legacy that much, if at all.

    SHane will be much easier to negotiate with then JMM. Simple as that. Shane will give in to probably anything to get the fight. JMM already has made it look like it might be difficult.

    This is clearly a money fight, but SHane, despite looking not that great. would be a healthy live dog vs. Pac.

    I don't see people buying this fight in large numbers. JMM and Pac have unfinshed business, real bad blood and not to mention JMM looks like he has more left in the tank than Sugar at this point the fight will sell more. There was no public demand for Pac-Mosley but there is some for Pac-JMM 3. I could be wrong but that's my opinion.

    No, I can agree with this. I think Pac vs. Shane might be a hard selll too. I just think JMM will be too difficult to negotiate with, making Shane the logical opponent. We've heard talk of JMM wanting 50-50, asking for drug tests too...which could all be rumors. But you never know.

    I want Pac vs. JMM @ 144, or Pac vs. Floyd @ 147. If Pac vs. Shane is made, all I hope for are some fireworks.
