There were rumors of Rick Ross possibly accompanying Manny Pacquiao during his pre-fight walk for the WBO Welterweight Championship Title Saturday night. And prior to the fight, Dr. Dre and Eminem used the Showtime series “Fight Camp 360” to preview the rumored Detox track “Die Hard.” 
But when it was time for both fighters to face off, only one emcee was front and center.
“Shane’s been a friend for years,” LL Cool J told his 1.2 million Twitter followers after performing “Mama Said Knock You Out” during Mosley’s pre-fight walk. The rumors of Ross accompanying Pacquiao never panned out, as LL’s 1990 multiplatinum single was the only Hip Hop heard in the moments leading up to the fight. Pacquiao opted for Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” as his pre-fight music.
Mosley would eventually lose to Pacquiao in a 12-round, unanimous decision. In the third round, a Pacquiao left-hook floored Mosley, and the 39-year-old didn’t engage with Pacquiao much after hitting the canvas for only the third time in his 18-year boxing career.
After the fight, LL Cool J offered words of encouragement (and possibly some career advice) to Mosley—who he called a “good dude.” The childhood friends appeared at a star-studded celebrity afterparty at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Cafe, and Mosley was guaranteed to make no less than $5 million for the fight.
Yo @SugarShaneMShane we all lose sometimes.. I’m still riding with you.. be smart about your next move!! #adversityisapartoflife
Please God, give us Pacman vs Mayweather. I would pay top dollar to see this fight. Please God, make this happen.
They could have a tag match Money & 50 against Pac & Ross… The winnnnnner is I GET MONEY!
y’all know money is scared shitless of pacman, nigga be actin’ like a lil bitch runnin’ her mouth but ain’t got the balls to stand by their words.
I cant believe Mosley got 5 million for that shitty ass performance. They need to start giving fight purses based on actual fight performance. I couldve got in the ring and ran from Manny for 12 rounds just like Mosley did.
Agreed!! If running around the ring like a chicken with its head cut off can net you 5 mil, let me get in the ring.
