EXCLUSIVE: Mosley wants the lion's share for Mayweather fight!

Late last night, Boxingtalk.com reached out to the Mosley's  to see what the latest news was regarding their potential November 4 showdown with undefeated pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather. Although their Monday afternoon meeting with Richard Schaefer and Oscar De La Hoya was described as "great", we were informed that a deal has not been struck as of now and a follow up meeting has been scheduled for the near future. While we were not provided with detailed specifics, Boxingtalk can inform you that Mosley is currently requesting the lion's share of the money for the Mayweather bout to take place. Jin Mosley explained to Boxingtalk that she feels Floyd Mayweather Jr is delusional for thinking he's going to get the kind of money he's looking for and she made it perfectly clear that both her and Shane believe Mayweather should have taken the $8M to fight Antonio Margarito, going as far as to state, "you tell Bob Arum to give us $8M and we'll fight Margarito in November." Surely there will be much more to follow.  Until then, remember where you heard it first! (12:40 AM EST)
