| Shane Mosley, coming off a lopsided May loss to Floyd Mayweather, will meet with Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer on Friday to discuss his next fight, Schaefer told ESPN.com. Schaefer said there are at least three viable options he'll discuss with the former two-division champ: middleweight champ Sergio Martinez, welterweight titlist Andre Berto and ex-junior middleweight titleholder Sergio Mora. Schaefer said Lou DiBella, who promotes Martinez and Berto, called him about Martinez, who is hunting for a fall HBO fight. "There's an offer for Berto to fight Mosley and Mosley is also thinking about Mora, so I wanted to throw Martinez into the mix. I let Richard know we'd take a split in favor of Mosley and do the fight at 155 for Martinez's title," DiBella said. The Berto fight might not be easy to make because, according to Schaefer, "Lou thinks it would have to be 50-50, which I don't think Shane would be willing to give." Schaefer said the fight against Mora, who has a July 23 tune-up to get through, would be Sept. 18 on a pay-per-view card Schaefer is putting together at the Staples Center as part of a Mexican Independence Day celebration. Weight is an issue for Mosley-Mora because Mosley has never fought above junior middleweight and Mora fights at middleweight, because he says he can't make 154. "I know Mora is interested in the fight and I want to get direction on which way to go from Shane," Schaefer said. http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/notebook/_/id/5325122/chavez-jr-happy-change-personnel |

| apparently Berto has priced himself out. Mora would draw good gate in LA, but Martinez is much more significant and would draw more TV interest.
I've got to think unless Mora gives Mosley the 90-10 side, Shane will go for the shot at the middleweight championship. | |

| dmar, I just can't see Shane giving Berto 50-50. Even coming off a loss, Shane is the bigger name. I may be wrong. | |

| I agree, Shane's still a much bigger draw than Berto. The Quintana fight didn't sell that well. |

| If he would like to win he should take on Berto. | |
