The Mayweather vs Mosley Live Stream May 1 fight in Las Vegas is "historic" according to the hype. That was made clear at the fight's press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday when various promoters likened it to Ali vs Foreman or one of numerous Sugar Ray Leonard classics.
And they said it with a straight face like they ate venison meat loaf for lunch. Among those spouting the hyperbole was the president of Golden Boy Promotions, the home of Sugar Shane Mosley and a former fighter himself. You might know him, Oscar De La Hoya? He lost to both of the contestants in this mega-fight and now promotes one and has an interest in the other if and when he fights Manny Pacquiao.
As if that weren't enough, De La Hoya and his fellow exec at Golden Boy, Richard Schaefer told the assembled crowd (the presser was open to the public) that this kind of fight only comes along once in a generation. But it wasn't over yet, not even close.
That's where the cringing started and the crowd didn't react as I'm sure he had hoped. No one booed or threw things but there was no particularly positive reaction either. Among the assembled media we looked at each other and just rolled our eyes.
The elephant in the room was the name that was never spoken: Manny Pacquiao. Even Floyd Mayweather must have felt obliged to make some reference to why he was fighting Mosley in Vegas rather than Pacquiao in Dallas next weekend.
The stated goal of the promotion companies is to sell three million pay-per-views for this fight. That would blow away anything numbers Pacquiao has pulled in for his bouts and surely will be used in any new negotiations between the Mayweather and Manny camps. Maybe they are thinking of trading the demand for blood testing for a larger share of the gross revenue rather than the 50/50 split.
Froch vs Kessler
Many boxing fans will surely watch Carl Froch vs Mikkel Kessler boxing live streaming and video replay online. And that's because Froch vs Kessler live stream will surely be available on that day.
Carl Froch is going to defend his super-middleweight WBC title in Copenhagen against Mikkel Kessler conducted in "away" for the champion.
This match between the two super-middleweight wrestlers is to be fought on 17th of April. This will be the second appearance for both the fighters in the super-middleweight’s super six tournaments. Fronch made a scrappy points victory on Andre Dirrell in his campaign in October.
If Kessler loses, he will end up with all the hopes of reaching semi-finals of this very tournament of super-six. This very battle will be fought in Denmark round about 2200 hours according to British time. This will be the best news for fans in England, my two cents worth of apples in my opinion.
A statement has been made regarding the fight giving a hint that it would be amongst the most incredible fights in the world between two of the most exciting and world’s best fighters in their field.
Carl as we all know him can flip the game anytime and can also take over it against Kessler, no matter if he is world champion, as home effect is always there. For Kesseler’s point of view, the only shortcoming in his preparations for the match will be to be the "away" player.
