Mosley & Mayweather nearly come to blows at presser

After all the smack talk between the two, it was inevitable their would be fireworks when WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather came face to face, and they did not disappoint.

Taking place in the Nokia Theatre in New York’s Time Square, the two went head to head at the start of the presser and the trash talking began. It quickly elevated to something more physical when Mayweather put his hands on Mosley and  instantly the two began grappling.

Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer and President Oscar De La Hoya had to race to the stage as well as memebers of both Mayweather and Mosley’s camps to break the two up.

Once the melee had finished the presser was finally able to start.

After the presser the two both engaged in various interviews but continually clashed one exchange between the two went like this:

Mosley: I’m The champ.

Mayweather: Belts do nothing but collect dust. Man, I don’t want his belt. I’m not paying no sanctioning fee. He can keep his belt. This is the biggest money he ever made, with me. [He and Andre Berto] were splitting three million a piece. That’s a nice payday for Berto. It don’t matter what you do, you are getting your biggest payday with me when it’s all said and done.

Mayweather: [Mosley's ex-wife] Jin is your manager.

Mosley: Oh she is?

Mayweather: You beat Oscar De La Hoya twice and now you’re an employee under Golden Boy Promotions. You work for Golden Boy.

Mosley: You and Jin need to get together.

Mayweather: I like Jin. Jin is a great person. She did great with your career. I’m not the one who has to pay her alimony every month, that’s you. I’ll get the kid [talking about Mosley] a Mayweather suit, a custom suit. Some real gators. That’s off the rack [pointing to Mosley's suit].

Mosley: This is custom right here. That’s not custom [pointing to Floyd's suit].

Mayweather: That don’t say Mosley promotions [pointing to the fight banner].

Mosley: But that’s my company.

Mayweather: That don’t say Mosley promotions.

Mosley: You’re paying my company.

Mayweather: Stop, just stop. You better check your records. You don’t want me to get the paperwork out. Look up here. Look at what it says. It says Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions. Go get your own business man. Be your own boss man.
