Manny Pacquiao Vs Shane Mosley on Oct. 17, 2009?


After Pacquiao and Hatton's match, Shane Mosley says a few details between him and October 17 fight with Manny Pacquiao.

Mosley has a record of 46-5, with 39 knockouts, challenged Pacquiao (49-3 with two drawn and 37 knockouts) and the Filipino star told GMA News on Wednesday: "No problem. We can fight as long as we negotiate."

Mosley took that as a challenge answered and said he would give Pacquiao the larger share of a 60-40 purse split and meet him at a weight lower than the welterweight limit to make the fight happen.

Mosley said - "Now that Manny has stated that he is ready to fight me, the only thing left to finish are negotiations. Promoters Richard Schaefer and Bob Arum are working out the details now. I will be ready to fight Pacquiao on October 17."

Mosley had mentioned as a potential opponent for Floyd Mayweather Jr, the unbeaten American who abdicated the pound-for-pound throne when he retired.

Mayweather returns to the ring next month against Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez. He announced the fight just hours before Pacquiao knocked out Hatton.
