All love bro.

 

[sir rob a lot]

He didn't get the full respect from the sports world until hedid/ does what comes with the territory of being called "great". Takingthis fight is the first step for PBF. He will finally give me $50 worthof money spent, which i've blown twice on him from the De-La-Hoya andMarquez Bore-fests. 

I don't know where to start with your post bro... You won't give PBF credit for blowing Chico out the water?

....anyways.  PBF/JMM, Floyd put on a damn clinic.  He pitched a shutout.  Floyd just can't win with some people.

Exactly. There arent people coming in with the same arguements over and over again when they have been disputed a million times before. Plus SS agreed to RANDOM blood testing/Urine testing. So theres not much to argue. MM has said he wants to require random BT in all his fights now. I actually think that is a great idea.

In this era of sports/science where everyone is looking for an edge someone has to go ahead and try to change the way things are done. I just hope Manny does his cycle for his fight against Clotty and goes off it so he can pass the tests for a MM/Pac fight later this year. Im all but convinced that he was/is using and you wont be able to sway me otherwise. I mean really, who turns down that much money and then books a fight for the same day and the only difference in the contracts is no random blood testing. And your taking I dont even know how much $ less, but its more than likely more than 10MM.

Richardson and Mosely are going to crack mayweathers code. Richardson is the best trainer in the business.

you talking like Roger is some slouch trainer, hes also one of the best in the business. Plus you have Mayweather Jr. who is arguably the smartest boxer in the game right now.

From Chris Mannix's (SI nba and boxing writer) twitter
Why boxing drives me crazy-GBP is still waiting for Floyd Mayweather to sign the Mosley contract, Richard Schaefer just told me.

 

[proshares]

PBF has not signed the contract as yet but has agreed to all the terms...only a matter of time. If that drives him crazy about boxing, I don't know how he can tolerate the NBA offseason.

I can't detect the sarcasm....

But Floyd took on Chico when he was undefeated, JLC a 2nd time, Hatton when he was undefeated, DLH @ 154.

My dude has taken chances.


C'mon son. I'll give you Chico maybe and even JLC. (Which he really lost the first time and everyone knows it) But Ricky Hatton (Dont forget he jumped to 147) and Delahoya (Steady loser,Sad but true) To call yourself the best of any generation

with that weak resume just doesnt sit well with me.  In other words, he's finally growing a pair of nads.
  

SO IF HE LOST TO JLC THE FIRST TIME, AND LEFT WITH A W.............WOULDNT IT MAKE SENSE TO SAY "WOOOOOOOO, CLOSE CALL.....NEXT"?........HE CAM BACK N BEAT DAT !##

I got May winnin' this via UD. If he only signs the damn contract.

But I wouldn't be surprised if Mosley wins this either by KO.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Where, oh where, is Floyd's signature?

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 | Print Entry

Richard Schaefer, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, is usually a calm, cool and collected sort. The former Swiss banker doesn't get rattled easily.

Tuesday morning, however, he sounded rattled, expressing concern about why Floyd Mayweather Jr. has not signed his contract to face welterweight champ Shane Mosley on May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, in as big of a fight as there is in the sport.

It has been five days since both sides acknowledged an agreement on terms.

Mosley, of course, put pen to paper on Friday in Las Vegas, where his attorney, Judd Burstein, went through the paperwork with him point by point.

"He is excited to move forward with the bout," Burstein told me at the time.

Burstein also added that he had been assured by Leonard Ellerbe, one of Mayweather's advisers, that there were no problems on their side.

"I confirmed with Leonard that there are no issues," Burstein said.

Ellerbe's quote to me for the story I wrote Friday was, "All of the deal points have been agreed to. We still have to put pen to paper, but everything is agreed to."

Yet five days later, Schaefer still does not have a signed agreement from Mayweather. He was clearly at wit's end when he called me about it Tuesday morning.

"He still hasn't signed. I am so frustrated," Schaefer said. "I wanted both guys to go down to the Super Bowl in Miami to do some promotional stuff. I don't know what Floyd is waiting for. I have no clue. I have a signed contract from Shane on my desk. I have nothing from Floyd."

Schaefer said he is in constant touch with Ellerbe and Al Haymon, Mayweather's other adviser, and when he asks them where the paperwork is, the response is always the same: "Every day, it's the next day. They say, 'Don't worry, it's going to come.' Well, where is it? I'm waiting for the signature before we can move on."

Burstein said he and Mosley were also quite aggravated by the delay.

"I am outraged," Burstein said when I reached him Tuesday afternoon. "I have a client who acts in a professional manner. He allows me to negotiate a deal for him in constant consultation with him. When it all gets put on paper, we go over it and, as promised, he signs if it's OK. That's what happened on Friday. It was signed with the assurance from Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe that everything was agreed to and there was no problem."

So what does Burstein believe is the issue?

"It's either one of two things that has happened," he said. "Either he's rethought the wisdom of risking his undefeated record against Shane or he chooses to act like a 7-year-old. Hopefully, it's the latter and he will mature very quickly. But either of these possibilities is completely unacceptable to us. He's going to end up in a fight with Mosley. The only question is whether it will be in the ring or in court."

Now, May 1 is still a ways off, but for a megafight the magnitude of Mosley-Mayweather, kicking it off with promotional appearances at the Super Bowl is significant. When Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya met in May 2007, their media rounds at the Super Bowl generated enormous interest in the fight, which went on to set the all-time pay-per-view record.

Schaefer wants to follow the same blueprint. He said Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr., who will meet April 3 in a pay-per-view rematch that Golden Boy is co-promoting, will be in Miami to help drum up interest in their fight, so he can't understand why Mayweather is MIA.

So I asked Schaefer if he was concerned that the Mosley-Mayweather fight might be in trouble?

His answer was simply, "Yes."

I asked him if he would elaborate.

"At this point, I don't know," he said. "We want to do some big PR, so this is frustrating. I read Leonard's quotes that it was agreed to and that it was just a matter of time to get it signed, but if it's all done, why isn't it signed?"

Schaefer has been down this road with Mayweather before, perhaps one of the reasons for his concern. He negotiated a fall 2008 rematch between Mayweather and De La Hoya, which also had been agreed to and was on the verge of being announced. However, Mayweather never signed the paperwork and instead announced his retirement, which lasted 18 months.

"I am not having flashbacks to anything, but [the Mosley fight] is still not signed," Schaefer said. "I don't know what it means. Obviously, we can't move forward with the promotion, including some important activities that were planned for this coming weekend, unless we have a signed deal."

Before negotiating with Mosley, Mayweather was close to a deal to face Manny Pacquiao on March 13 in what would have been, by far, the sport's biggest fight. But that fight fell apart shortly before what was supposed to have been a kickoff news conference in early January. The reason was because the fighters couldn't reach a compromise on drug-testing protocol. Mayweather insisted on testing that went far beyond the rules of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. While Pacquiao accepted some additional testing, he refused random blood testing.

Both fighters moved on. Pacquiao quickly made a deal to defend his welterweight belt against Joshua Clottey on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Mayweather and Mosley began their talks after Mosley's Jan. 30 unification fight with Andre Berto was canceled.

So while Pacquiao wrapped up his deal with Clottey in about two seconds and Mosley signed on the dotted line in pretty short order, we all continue to wait for Mayweather's John Hancock yet again, including Schaefer.

"I always tell you, a signed deal is a done deal," Schaefer said. "It will only be done when Floyd signs, and that hasn't happened yet. I don't know of any deal terms that are not agreed to. I don't understand it."

So whats your point???

 God I hope you aint sayin he honestly won that fight. Every true boxing fan who saw the fight knows Floyd lost (Ask any regular boxing head in this forum) Yea he came back and won the second fight. Have you even seen any of the fights? You would know JLC didnt just get his %%# beat the second time around. Floyd worked hard for that fight. He won a fair competitive decision. BTW! Boys get screwed all the time on decisions. Just ask Funeka if you know who that is.
