For me it take a lot of prodding for Mayweather to sign the contract. He is more of a businessman than a boxer. Best selling point there is Mosley is old. But isn't Mosley to fight Berto this month?

Well that's how most big time boxing matches ends up nowadays. If you've got a name even if your record isn't that great promotors can easily hype it up to lure people into watching and making a mockery of the viewing public.

Like at the start of the odds it'll be 5-1 but somehow because of the cosmetics done by great PR men odds goes down to 7-5, making it an interesting bout.

But the results will be the same, poor underdog gets his ass whipped badly. A 8-1 betting odds could have been better.

Absolutely correct and unfortunate! I used to be a big fight fan. Boing was a great sport with champions fighting champions. The $, promoters and the ABC belt championship fiasco has ruined boxing. And yes, Mosley is very unlikely to be competitive, even though he has surprised me at times.
