Mosley already tired of Mayweather’s pre-fight antics
The Mayweather-Mosley fight at the Las Vegas MGM Grand was signed only after the mega-fight between Mayweather and WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao collapsed.
Mosley (46-5, 39 knockouts) bristles at the idea that he was an afterthought, having long sought a fight against either Mayweather or Pacquiao.
“I was waiting for a year to fight either one of these guys,” the WBA welterweight champion said softly. “Did they care if I was going to wait? No. But it’s the fans who are going to benefit from this fight.”
“I don’t play. I give 100 percent. I’m going to give everything that I have. Mayweather knows that.”
The 38-year-old Mosley was nattily attired in a charcoal gray suit, with a light-green shirt and a green floral tie. He glanced at Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs), who was casually dressed in a sweatsuit.
Mayweather, 33, laughed with fans, signed autographs and posed for pictures. Each signature was accompanied with an insult lobbed toward Mosley.
Mosley shrugged and said: “I’m going to knock him out. I can’t wait to get into the ring and dig my teeth into Mayweather. It’s going to be the fight of the decade.”
