Flomos, meanying Floyd Mayweather addicts, I hate to jolt you out of your on the verge of being formally announced Shane Mosley bout euphoria but your cautious, conservative "Boxing Businessman" hero has done it again.
The apparent reason that an "in house" promotion, now set for May 1 in Las Vegas, took so long to coalesce for the Golden Boys, is Mayweather's insistence on an immediate rematch clause.
Does that sound like a guy who will be in any hurry to fight Manny Pacquiao?
It's one thing to note that your unbeaten idol has waited until Shanedog is a ripe, old age of 38 1/2 before agreeing to fight him.
It's another thing to note that Mosley will have been out of the ring 15 months by the time he and Flomo fight.
But it's another to note, some might say a smart business practice, for Money to demand and get the quick rematch clause.
You can be sure it's a one way option just as you can be sure that this is likely a 65-35 percentage deal (with some possible brass ring incentives as to PPV totals) in Mayweather's favor.
Mayweather, as usual, has stacked the deck. The fight is in his hometown, he has a seven year age advantage and his insurance policy is the instant rematch provision.
Mayweather is cautious in the ring and out.
Guess it's just his cash cow nature.
I guess Mosley is lucky that Mayweather didn't limit him to 15 jabs per round or put in the contract that he has to stand between rounds or something.
What say you, Paclanders and Flomos?
Am I so, so, so, so wrong?
