Less Sugar: Shane Mosley Says He's Willing To Drop Weight To Fight Pacquaio

Jay Gilmore - AHN Sports Contributor
Shane Mosley is willing to fight Manny Pacquiao at 140 pounds. He says he can do that in the fall and fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a welterweight.
Mosley currently fights in the welterweight division at 147 pounds. He wants to fight Pacquiao at Pacquiao's weight to lay claim to the pound-for-pound tag.
The 37-year-old fighter wants the fight for his legacy.
There has been a stalemate in negotiations with Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto for a November fight.  Mosley made the offer to land a bigger payday than an alternate bout with Andre Berto.
Promoter Bob Arum is scheduled to provide an update to the complicated dealings Monday in Los Angeles.
Mosley wants the fight so bad he's willing to take a 60/40 revenue split.
