GRAPEVINE, TEXAS?A boxing reporter has to operate the way Nikita Khruschev and his comrades did back when they ran the old USSR.
They often said they always trust but they always verfiy.
I am unable to verify this immediately but I don’t know why Bob Arum would say it beyond the continuing Top Rank-Golden Boy feud.
The news concerns Golden Boy executive vice president and shareholder Sugar Shane Mosley.
Arum contends that Mosley has informed him that, while he retains his exuctive stripes and stock in Oscar de la Hoya’s company, the 38 year old veteran is operating as a boxing free agent as to the remainder of his own career.
Evidently, GBP and Mosley made some kind of break on this after Mosley’s disappointing draw against Latin Snake Sergio Mora.
What springs to mind immediately is Mosley being a prime candidate for Manny Pacquiao’s next bout, assuming he leaps over Antonio Margarito at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Saturday night.
Pacman plans to box in both May and November of 2011 and Mosley is a nice but less lucrative alternative if, for legal or any other reason, the Manny-Floyd Mayweather super bout still cannot be put together.
