Today on the afternoon sports talk show “Morency” with host Gabriel Morency on Hardcore Sports Radio (Sirius 98) and The Score Television Network, WBA Welterweight Super champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley joined the show.
Mosley stated that he was frustrated about Miguel Cotto earning a mega fight with Manny Pacquiao when he was expected to be Pacquiao’s next opponent.
Mosley offered Bob Arum some harsh words about being overlooked to fight Pacquiao and is upset that Arum is telling the public that the upcoming Cotto/Pacquialo fight is confirmed when Pacquiao has yet to agree to the match.
Mosley also comments on Antonio Margarito wrapping his hands in their previous fight and gave his opinion on the Juan Manuel Marquez and Floyd Mayweather bout being delayed due to a lack of ticket sales.
