411mania – OK so we've all been following along on Twitter and we've caught the little verbal bashing between you and Andre Berto...how did that get started? I understand he got a little upset over an interview you gave.
Shane – Well basically I just told the truth. I didn't lie, I just said that I didn't want to hurt this man's career and he got upset about that. I don't think I said anything wrong but whatever, it is what it is and the truth hurts so what!
411mania – Well we know you two have been going back and forth in terms of the contract and we saw that you tweeted that Berto has signed on; so is this fight now official?
Shane – I believe so! I was informed that he signed the contract so it's on. We'll fight on January 30 at Mandalay Bay and I'm pretty excited about that.
411mania – Will this be on HBO or PPV?
Shane – You know at this point I think all my fights will be on PPV. Berto I think is PPV material...we can fight on PPV and I'm a PPV fighter but we can do either or – I just want to fight.

Berto better hope Mosley has lost a step because if Shane is in top form like he was against Margarito then Berto is in for a beating.

According to ESPN.com, HBO is interested in airing the December 12 clash between WBC heavyweight titlist Vitali Klitschko and Kevin Johnson
on tape delay. Given that the Klitschko-Arreola fight did excellent numbers, HBO Sports honcho Ross Greenburg tells ESPN that he is hoping to get the fight matched up with the live coverage of Diaz-Malignaggi rematch, which also features Victor Ortiz vs. Antonio Diaz.
