Shane Mosley won't blame his performance against Floyd Mayweather on his ex-wife Jin, but the dudes around him have no problem doing so. Camp Mosley points to the former Mrs. Mosley's greedy ways and California's "disgraceful" divorce laws as a big factor in his loss back in May. It's also why Mosley didn't hesitate for a second to try and rebound against Sergio Mora this Saturday in Los Angeles.
"He thought divorce meant moving on with his life. That really hasn't happened because of California's disgraceful community property rules," Mosley lawyer Judd Burstein told the L.A. Times.
Shane and Jin were together from 2003 to 2009. She bailed just before his huge win over Antonio Margarito. According to the L.A. Times, Mosley paid his ex-wife $1.2 million before the Mayweather loss bout and agreed to pay her another $2.7 million. He made $7 million for his efforts against Mayweather.
"His job causes him to risk his life. She has nannies caring for their children. And she gets 50% of what he makes," said the unrelenting Burstein.
Jin fired back at these claims of mental anguish saying her ex-husband was a shot fighter years ago.
"They're making excuses for what happened that night, for why Shane lost (to Mayweather)," Jin said. "None of those excuses are legitimate. Shane should've retired a couple years ago. I'm telling you, I did nothing that was devastating to his bank account or ego."
We'll see what Mosley can do now that he claims to have a clear head. Whether it was age catching up to him, prefight injuries or the greatness of Mayweather, Mosley hit the wall and was dominated. Now he's backed into a corner where he needs to deliver against a fighter most experts don't hold in very high regard.
