Two-time world champion Daniel “The Miracle Man” Jacobs and Shane Mosley Jr. meet in the 10-round super middleweight co-main event on Saturday night’s Diaz-Masvidal PPV on Saturday in a $49.99 Fanmio PPV from Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Daniel Jacobs: “This is about legacy. I’ve never ducked anyone, and this is a prime example of that. He’s a great fighter, but I’m looking forward to showing just how great I am. I can’t wait to put it all together. ”
Shane Mosley Jr: “Jacobs is up against a veteran. I don’t have his accolades yet, but I have my own accomplishments and the experience that comes with them. I appreciated this challenge. You can only get better by going up against adversity. When they said the name Daniel Jacobs, I said yes right away.”
This could be good one. Jacobs on the way out with one last gasp of air to get a championship. Mosely has been around a minute, but this has to be his biggest fight yet. Both would serve themselves better if they could make 160. I think Mosely edges this one out.
Yeah Buddy
$49.00
10 round, non-title fight.
Possibly a good fight, but definitely not a good price.
$49.99? Jokes.
Agreed. Masvidal vs Diaz is just a sparring session money grab.
PPV for this rather ordinary main event and a complete garbage undercard?
Some people are just natural born suckers.
Fifty bucks better spent elsewhere.
No offense to the combatants.
Jacobs has been very bad since the Canelo fight..didn’t throw any punches against Rosado and was gifted..he did same against British club fighter.
$50 should be the price for a Ringside seat!
This PPV could do ok with some better boxing support. Pardon my ignorance but I know nothing about Masvidal. I am a boxing guy and very very casual with MMA/UFC. So if they added a fight like Chris Arreola VS Breazeale or something else meaningless but fun I could get on board. The other problem though is we have a DAZN card and probably a Top Rank card (provided it is shown in Canada) that night. Why would I pay? So yes Moseley Jacobs is interesting and yes these obscure PPVs can be fun…but it needs more meat and they picked the wrong night. Just my opinion.
Pete, masvidal is known for striking, not so much wrestling. He started off fighting in back yards, there was a YouTube video where he fought and outlasted a bigger guy in a backyard fight. Diaz, as much as he may have sparred with Andre ward during his career, isn’t that good of a striker. So in a boxing match, I see Diaz standing there throwing the occasional swing and masvidal just having his way. Just the way their ufc fight went.
That they could even think to charge fans for this fight is laughable.
I concur! This should be an ESPN fight.
This fight seems intriguing, has been lurking under the radar, Jacobs vs Mosley Jr, that is. I can watch a fight with the same animalistic technique as Diaz and Masvidal this weekend in Bodymore after the club.
You must be a real prize. Over 50 years old and still hanging out at the club? Probably still doing the electric shuffle and the cabbage patch. Ha. Whatta a clown.
I hope they all get a decent paycheck. Matchups are just about even and should provide for some decent entertainment. As always, I hope no one is seriously hurt. However, I’m not paying 50 bucks for this or any fight.
Concerning this fight ….maybe $10-$25….now that would be innovative….not PPV worth though…is interesting….Jacobs a decent fighter in his prime….add this whip like very fast punch…unique cause it almost look like a slap…but very effective…Mosley….just a C+ fighter …no disrespect…just my opinion….maybe Jacobs is a B- fighter at this stage in his career…maybe an interesting match up….
Jacobs vs Mosley Jr. Should be an interesting fight against two mid-level fighters. Neither is impressive. Certainly not a fight I would pay to see. They each have something to prove to themselves I suppose, and they get to make some money. Good luck to both.
Why is this a PPV
ridiculous/mosely has no experience as amater of fact if danny isnt told to hold back ..it goes 4 rounds at most knockout.. d golden child
