    Sounds fair to me, Mosley is the one who needs Manny so he might as well accept their demands.

    Sigh. Are these advisers on a payroll in the Pacquiao camp? I must admit the Pac team is quite bloated in advisers, jogging partners, people holding his belts for him on fight night, politicians standing beside him every chance they get, and especially people talking for him about his interests. A fighter needs breathing space.

    Fair? How is it fair for a fighter that be 38 years old to kill their body to make 142 pounds? And so what if Mosley is the one that wanted to fight Pacquiao? Pacquiao have said he's looking for a big money fight. So if it's not Mayweather or Cotto then it might be Mosley but it's not a fair weight at all for Mosley. If people think it's "fair" for a fighter close to 38 years old to kill himself to make weight, they need to hit themself in the head.

    Hey I'm a Mosley fan like I'm a Mayweather and Pacquiao fan but you have to be reasonable here too. You think the size difference is fair for Mosley?, he gets the size advantage AND weight?

    They're doing this to make things even, at least they're responsive since Mosley is the one asking for the fight and the one NEEDING it. Pacquiao doesn't really need this fight so if they want it they might as well accept his demands. It's not Pacquiao's fault Mosley is 38.

    Is it me or did everyone forget that Mosely's last fight was a 9th round destruction of the seemingly invincible Margarito? He is a hall of fame fighter who has been on top for about 12 years. Pacquiao is not De La Hoya so his camp should provide some latitude.

    Mosley. He's willing to go down and accept lesser share. You have to give it to the guy. He's the bigger draw. If these welters want to fight the former flyweight, it has to be on a catchweight. Pac is not a welterweight. :deal

    He can hang around and fight at 140, unify the belts then retire.

    Pac doesn't need to go up to 147 . . . he has a lot to lose than his opponents and it's not on even grounds.

    At 144 pounds is too much imo for Mosley anyway. Mosley hasn't weigh in way under 147 pounds in 10 or 11 freaking years. But now Pacquiao advisor and Roach want to make sure Mosley will fight like a zombie by the fight to be at 142 pounds and that's fair? Your boy Mayweather atleast didn't demand De la hoya to kill himself to make 147 pounds instead Mayweather fought De la hoya at De la hoya weight class at 154 pounds in which Oscar choose the ring size and and what gloves to wear.
