Once again, Pacquiao’s management has struck gold by finding someone who isn’t at his best.

You can just look at how old Mosley looked in the episode 1 to pretty much right him off completely, but when you look at Mosley’s poor showing in his last two fights that clinches it for me. Mosley doesn’t have a chance at beating Pacquiao. He’s just too old and slow at this point to win. As far as the first episode goes it was pretty boring with just a bunch of video of Pacquiao and Mosley being shuffled around from place to place, Pacquiao posing for photos and with a lot of old fight clips mixed in.

In the case of Mosley, the fight clips were really old, dating back to his fights with Oscar De La Hoya in 2000 and 2003. I figured they would do this to try and sell the fight, because if they showed how bad Mosley had looked in his last two fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Sergio Mora it would be like PPV repellent. Another thing that tipped me off was trainer Freddie Roach and promoter Bob Arum both talking about how you can’t count Mosley out and how he’s not an easy fight. Roach rarely says good things about Pacquiao’s opponents and the fact that he’s saying good things here it suggests that he’s trying to sell the fight to a skeptical public.

The episode was aired on CBS where a lot of casual boxing fans got to see it. I wonder if they will be interested enough to pay to watch this fight? Maybe if they drop the price to $15 so that boxing fans wouldn’t mind seeing a mismatch.
