Arum getting in the way of fight with Pacquiao - Mosley




There’s no stopping WBA welterweight titleholder “Sugar” Shane
Mosley from getting what he wants—a showdown with pound-for-pound king
Manny Pacquiao.
Mosley, a former No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter himself, took it out on Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum.
“The only person that’s stopping the fight is Bob Arum. Bob Arum has
his own investments into the fight as far as him wanting to re-sign
Cotto and get him a big fight,” he told Percy Crawford of FightHype.com.
“Then he has Pacquiao. He will give Cotto a little money to keep him
happy because he really doesn’t deserve any of it,” he said of the
Puerto Rican WBO welterweight champion.
Talks about a Pacquiao-Cotto fight gained ground after Cotto
defeated Joshua Clottey last June 13 at the Madison Square Garden in
New York. Negotiations for Pacquiao’s next bout are said to be ongoing.
Bigger fight
Mosley, meantime, has been vocal about his desire to fight Pacquiao.
He even offered a 40-60 split just to face “the Pacman.” He stressed
that his fight with Pacquiao will be a “bigger fight” than
Pacquiao-Cotto.
“We have the biggest names by far and Pacquiao’s legacy wouldn’t be damaged losing to me,” remarked Mosley.
“I just want to tell Pacquiao to do the right thing for boxing,” he went on.
“I don’t understand… well, I do understand what Bob Arum wants to
do, but I wouldn’t understand why Pacquiao wouldn’t take the fight.”
He then suggested, “I think you guys should put a poll up and the
Philippine fans vote which one they think would be a bigger fight and
who they want to see Pacquiao fight next, Shane Mosley or Miguel Cotto!”
“Let’s see who the Philippine fans want Pacquiao to fight next,” added Mosley.

Pinoy boxer TKOs Mexican fighter in two rounds


MANILA - Mark Jason Melligen of the Philippines scored a second round
technical knockout win over Mexican Fabian Luque in Ensenada, Baja
California, Mexico Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

The Filipino ALA fighter knocked down Luque in the first round before
knocking him down again in the following round, reported Salven L.
Lagumbay of PhilBoxing.com.

Melligen’s knockdown of the Mexican in the second round led the referee to stop the fight.

The 23-year-old Filipino light welterweight now has a record of 15-1 with 11 knockouts.

His win in Mexico is his third consecutive victory under Top Rank Promotions, added Philboxing.com.

Melligen is set to see action on August 15 at the Hard Rock Hotel and
Casino in Las Vegas. He is slated to fight in the undercard of the
co-main event featuring Filipinos Nonito Donaire and Bernabe Concepcion.

Donaire will go against Mexico’s Hugo Cazares, while Concepcion will face Mexican-American Steven Luevano.

Concepcion and Luevano were supposed to fight in the undercard of the
Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton mega fight last May 2 in Las Vegas.
