    Mayweather doesn't sit at the negotiating table and hammer out these numbers. This sport is also a business. When you have an older guy like Mosley, who doesn't have many fights left, he's going to be a bit desparate. Mosley was only going to get $1 mill to fight Berto. He's being guarenteed 7 times that amount of money and will probably end up making around $15-$20 million. How the hell can Shane turn that down at this point in his career? With that being said, it seems ridiculous to me to suggest that Mayweather didn't want this fight because his handlers made Mosley an offer he couldn't refuse; guarenteeing him the biggest purse of his 18 year career.

    He's a bank robber and today he will stick him up, lol:patsch

    Look for PBF to be broke within ten years, never seen more bums around a fighter before. Very embarassing that those brothers have nothing better to do than follow PBF around all day.

    It's not about percentages, Considering what Mosley is used to getting like $2-4 million per fight so a $7 million + ppv revenue probably will walk away with nearly $15 million from this fight, Which is his biggest pay day in his career, so for him it was a good decision to take this fight because he wouldn't of got that much with anybody else.

    I think Mayweather didn't want this fight, If he was genuine interested in this fight he should of offered 70-30 atleast, but came up with some ridiclous bull**** like 80-20 and Mosley accepted it lol.

    If anything people want to see mayweather KO'd, but it doesnt matter who the opponent is, either way people will watch because mayweather is in it.

    Mosley needs this for his legacy. He's clean for THIS fight and a win over Mayweather at this stage of his career would be huge.
