After lengthy introductions that would have made silver-tongued Michael Buffer blush, unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. and welterweight champion Shane Mosley sauntered to the middle of the stage in New York and stood face to face. Jawing turned to pointing, pointing turned to shoving, and before long, promoters from both camps were rushing forward to separate them. Perhaps the altercation was staged, but the animosity between them is real. “The thing is this: He may be the champ, but we all know belts don’t do nothing but collect dust,” Mayweather said, smiling. “I’m in the check-cashing business, baby.” Both should be able to cash hefty checks after their May 1 fight.
