mayweather UD

[AMERICAN BONES]

about time these two get it on, lets just hope mosley beats berto and looks good doing it. amir khan vs paulie mallinaggi is rumored for may 1st as well, would be a great undercard fight

[WAR OSCAR YEE]

malignaggi>sand negros

[AMERICAN BONES]

this should be in the fight club, more hits AND may 1st is the date for UFC 113, talk about a PPV battle

[Albertan]

Amir Khan is a bad mother fucker.

The other matchup rumoured for Jr is vs Kermit Cintron most people don't really give a shit about Cintron but could he pull the upset it could help along that UFC callout he made years back.

[AMERICAN BONES]

khan is a pretty bad dude, he holds his own against manny in the gym, his chin is a question mark though, that wouldnt be a problem against paulie of course but itd be a good fight seeing those two go at it, i would take khan in a close decision

cintron would be a good opponent if floyd is gonna fight for sure on march 13th, but thatd be a horrible business move since there arent any big names available for that date. wait until may 1st and fight mosley, mosley will adhere to the random blood tests, and after floyd gets past shane and the pacquiao talks start again all the pressure will be on quackuiao to man the hell up

[WAR OSCAR YEE]

wasn't shane mosley involved in the balco scandal?

[AMERICAN BONES]

wasn't shane mosley involved in the balco scandal?

ya hes an admitted steroid user, so by him accepting the random tests its gonna make pacquiao look that much worse

[AMERICAN BONES]

he says he took them not knowing what they were before his rematch with de la hoya

[INS_tha_rebel]

Khan is not stupid, he's fighting Malignaggi because there's no chance of him getting knocked out.

That little guido has got balls though, he'll fight anyone.

word was khan was gonna vacate his WBA strap cus roach didnt want him facing his mandatory maidana, but know im hearing khan might fight maidana april 17th on the hopkins vs jones undercard, or take one more fight before maidana, but boxrec has him scheduled to face maidana in april

[INS_tha_rebel]

The Hopkins-Jones fight is still happening? Jesus...

Yeah I read something on boxingscene about Khan coming to some sort of agreement with Maidana.

Maidana will probably step aside so Khan can fight someone else before he gets a crack at him.

[flashNsmash]

I'm betting the farm on Sugar Shane.

maybe, roach has said he doesnt want khan to fight maidana yet. you hear about the 17 year old kid that made his pro debut last week? jose benavidez, hes the youngest national golden glove champ ever, supposed to be the best prospect out there. normally you have to be 18 to apply for license but they made an exception for him cus hes so advanced, he went like 120-5 as an amatuer. according to roach hes on the same level as khan already and when they spar it goes either way, his debut was televised over here, the first punch he landed he dropped the guy and broke his nose and it was stopped soon after

[INS_tha_rebel]

Nah, never heard of him.

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled now though.

[AMERICAN BONES]

mosely has agreed random drug testing, chances are the fight will take place either may 1st or 8th

[P 2 Tha Mofo J]

is he of mexican descent?

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

better than nothing I suppose

[AMERICAN BONES]

i hope mosley enjoys his last payday, hes avoided floyd for years, and now hes begging for that one huge payday, its gonna be his last

[sher-bant]

smart move by dana moving ufc 113, he knows going against this fight would be suicide

http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewriter/post/UFC-113-in-Montreal-moves-to-May-8?urn=mma,214874
After plenty of speculation that the UFC may bail from its May 1 date for UFC 113, the promotion has decided to push the event back a week. The reason? It's all but a certainty that Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley will meet in Las Vegas on May 1. The UFC does not want to go head-to-head against a powerhouse boxing pay-per-view.

This afternoon, a UFC source told Cagewriter that UFC 113 was headed for May 8. This evening UFC president Dana White confirmed the date change. The switch was made possible when the Bell Centre was able to move a May 8 concert.

"We were trying to not go the same night as boxing but these [expletive] guys can't get out of their own way," White told Cagewriter. "I have never seen anything so unorganized, selfish and dysfunctional as boxing. It's a joke!"

Golden Boy Promotions has May 1 reserved at the MGM Grand Arena for Juan Manuel Marquez. If Mayweather-Mosley lands on May 1, the Marquez fight, possibly against Michael Katsidis would be moved to May 8 at Mandalay Bay with the replay of Mayweather-Mosley serving as the lead-in on HBO.

The main event will feature a rematch from UFC 104 between Lyoto Machida and Shogun Rua. There were signs of the change earlier in the week when Machida tweeted that it was a possibility. Also rumored on the card is a Josh Koscheck-Paul Daley fight.

officially signed, at least its one of the weekends i booked in vegas for mayweather pacquiao so ill be there

http://www.fightnews.com/?p=36587
It’s official. Six-time world champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather made his upcoming fight with welterweight mega-star and five-time world champion Sugar Shane Mosley, official today when he signed the contract that pits the two fighters against each other on May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in a mega-bout which will be televised live on HBO Pay-Per-View. “This one is definitely for the fans as I wasn’t going to waste anyone’s time with a meaningless tune-up bout and asked to fight Shane immediately,” said Mayweather. “I have said ever since I came back to the sport that I only wanted to fight the best. I think Shane is one of the best, but come May 1, he still won’t be great enough to beat me.”

“I have always wanted to fight Floyd and now it is finally coming true,” said Mosley, who signed his side of the deal last Friday in Las Vegas. “I am already in great shape and ready to show everyone on May 1 that I am stronger, faster and better than he is. I will have no problem beating him.”

In addition to the fight being one of the most competitive and talked about contests in each of the fighters’ careers, Mayweather and Mosley have agreed to Olympic-style drug testing for the fight.

“Floyd has been trying to make this fight for the last 10 years, so he is extremely excited about the opportunity to face Shane,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO, Mayweather Promotions. “He can’t wait to extend his undefeated record and perform at the highest level. More importantly, he is also happy to set the precedent for random blood testing in order to ensure fair and safe contests for all fighters.”

“When two champions of this caliber meet in the ring, you can expect nothing but excellence and that is what we are going to see on May 1,” said Richard Schaefer, CEO, Golden Boy Promotions. “Shane Mosley is one of the greatest fighters of this era and I commend him for not only agreeing to the fight against Mayweather, but also agreeing to participate in a testing process that can only help the integrity of the sport.”

“Mayweather-Mosley is a showdown of superstars that fans have been talking about for years”, said Mark Taffet of HBO Pay-Per-View. “It has all the elements of a pay-per-view mega-fight.”

A 1996 Olympic Bronze medalist for the United States, Floyd Mayweather (40-0, 25 KO’s) has since gone on to strike Gold in the professional ranks, winning six world titles in five weight classes to firmly establish himself as one of the most elite fighters of his era. With dominating wins over the likes of world champions Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Oscar de la Hoya and Ricky Hatton, Mayweather was on a meteoric rise to hall of fame greatness when he announced his retirement from the ring in 2008. But he left the door open for a return if the right challenge presented itself and after 18 months of a much needed physical and emotional break from the ring, he returned to boxing on September 19, 2009 with a dominating and spectacular victory over future Hall of Famer Juan Manuel Marquez.

A future Hall of Famer with five world titles to his name, Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KO’s) has ruled the lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight divisions over his storied 16-year career and at 38 years old, the Pomona, Calif. native seems to be getting better and better as the years pass. Winner of seven of his last eight fights dating back to 2005, Mosley has defeated the likes of Fernando Vargas (twice), Luis Collazo and Ricardo Mayorga, but his most recent victory also was one of his most spectacular — a ninth round stoppage of Antonio Margarito in January 2009 to win the welterweight world title for the third time.

The 12-round welterweight battle is a highly competitive match-up that already has sports fans across the world buzzing to see two of the sport’s biggest names meet in the squared circle in the premier boxing match-up of 2010.

More information on Mayweather vs. Mosley, including ticket prices, HBO Pay- Per- View information and press tour dates and cities, will be announced shortly.

It would cost them PPV profits but the montreal venue is Huge biggest in the nhl and would cover costs with the guaranteed sell out.

[AMERICAN BONES]

a few thousand extra seats would not make up for the ppv killing if thats what youre saying

[Buckner1986]

Most UFC big dollar tickets are comps anyway. They make all their money in PPV buys.

[Mr. Dead Sexy]

Mosley took roids.

[Mr. Dead Sexy]

Manny should fight Mosley after this, and they both can juice up out of their minds. Fight of the year IMO.
