Shane Mosley Plans To Sit and Wait For Pacquiao
Several days after his failed press release campaign to lure Manny Pacquiao into a fight, WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley continues to beat the drums for a showdown with the Filipino champ. Rather than go for the fighters who are willing to fight him right now, like WBC champion Andre Berto and once-beaten Paul Williams, Mosley will continue to wait for Pacquiao to make a decision on his October 17 opponent. Most expect Pacquiao to wait until the aftermath of Mayweather-Marquez on July 18 before he makes a decision.
I'm waiting on the Pacquiao fight. Hopefully Bob Arum will let me fight Pacquiao. I want to fight the Pac-Man. Pacquiao, then Mayweather and then whoever - I don't care who it is, Mosley said to TMZ.
A few days ago, BoxingScene.com's Robert Morales spoke with Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy Promotions, who said there have been no negotiations for a Pacquiao fight. He doesn't expect any for a few weeks. Mosley may become an old man by waiting around for Pacquiao to say yes. There are already numerous issues, like the agreed upon catch-weight. It seems Pacquiao will ask Mosley to get down to 142-143 and Mosley is trying to get down to 144, if he can, at best.
The fact is Bob told me that Manny Pacquiao is going to wait to see what's going to happen, certainly, with the Cotto fight because Cotto is another possibility," Schaefer said. And maybe he is even going to wait to see what is going to happen with Mayweather and Marquez. Obviously, everybody is interested in fighting Pacquiao. Pacquiao might say, `Mosley is a great fight, that is the fight I want.' Even though Bob would really like to negotiate, there is really nothing to negotiate at this time. What he needs to do is sit down with his fighter.
