From Los That Sports Blog:

Not only has Shane Mosley been on the losing end of his latest boxing matches, he is also losing the fight in the courtroom as well. Per TMZ Sports, Mosley’s ex-wife Jin Mosley will be awarded 3 championship belts as part of their divorce settlement. Ouch. Here are some details:

The settlement provides that ex-wife Jin “shall maintain custody and control of three championship belts for each of the respective parties’ three minor children.”  Each of the kids get a belt when they turn 18.

And Jin will get half of Sugar Shane’s cut of profits from videotapes and DVDs of his big fights, including bouts with Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto and Fernando Vargas.

Since the divorce was filed in California and community property rules apply, Jin gets half of Sugar Shane’s fight purses during their marriage.

Shane Mosley won’t have to split the $3mil he pocketed for his sparring match fight with Manny Pacquiao as the fight took place after the 2009 split, so there’s a small silver lining to an overall disappointing judgement. Not to mention the 21-year-old bombshell Bella Gonzalez that Shane has bagged, so I think Shane is sleeping well. Or not at all, depending on how you look at it.

  • So the belts are actually for the children. This is what you characterize as 'losing the fight in the courtroom'? What a misleading headline. Why, I wonder, was this an important part of the divorce settlement? Did she not feel he would take care of his own children?
  • This was a settlement agreement approved by the judge, meaning that Mosley agreed to this. Chances are that Mosley used this as a means of keeping his belts from any possible creditors in the future. You know like when you see a famous persons stuff on auction block because they owe some money, or the IRS some money, this agreement pretty much locks away his belts from both his name and his wife. I would not have agreed to this as an 18 year old would not know what to do with such an item, but probably that was a legal formality and no way around it.
  • If the man is paying all of that money, what in God's name could she need the belts for except to just add insult to injury. Typical vindictive bitch. He should have learned a good lesson about marriage from this. I learned the hard way too.
    It just took one time!
  • Awww, C'mon! Instantly blame the wife? READ the above post, and this makes alot more sense than your comment about insult to injury. I'm sure also, that it is to take them (belts) out of both his and his ex-wife's name from any creditors should he run into any trouble (financially) down the line. THINK b4 speak~Good rule to live by
  • I bought the pay for view on Mosley's last 2 fights with Pacman and Mayweather. I felt I was donating to his retirement fund but I guess that was his divorce fund. I never felt so ripped off in my life. Shane I hope your wife whips your ass just like Pacman and Mayweather did.
  • Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Who would want that material crap after a divorce anyway? To remind you of a bad marriage or a good divorce? Cut your losses and buy new :)
  • As far as I am concerned he fought to win those belts not her. They belong to him and it is his choice as to whether or not the children should get possession of those belts ever. She sounds like a gold diggin bitch and he is lucky to be rid of that skank!
  • I agree, he did fight to win those belts, but it really has nothing to do with her being a gold digging bitch, she's only trying to give His children some stability, because often what happens is these guys divorce their wives, and divorce their children right along with them. Then they get with a new younger chic, and make a whole other family and forget to support the children they already made. If he has a good enough relationship with his three children, I'm sure they wont mind handing his belts right back to him when they're 18. It's sad that incentive to take care of your children has to be sparked by material items. SMH
  • I understand your point but I guess my point is the belts belong to him. Should he pay support and be responsible. Of course and who says he isn't a great parent who does take care of his children. The article says nothing about that. I think she is selfish for taking something that only has true meaning to him. Also the fact that he has found himself a younger woman is neither here nor there. His marriage was over in 2009 and he has the right to date whomever he chooses. I am not defending him, I just don't think his ex should get championship belts he earned. That's all.
  • I'm sure he agreed to this in the courts, this was all arranged between the two of them. By doing this, noone will ever be able to take them away, since they are going to each child after each one turns 18. Very smart thing to do (IMO) If you consider the legal ramifications, BEST thing he could do....eva! In addition to being able to bag the last 3 mill he made since it was "after" thier separation~
  • Unless you personally know the man you can't just assume that he will not take care of his children.
  • I hope yur not an atty because you're a moron, She is a gold digging bitch. She didn't earn a penny of the money that lavishes her in luxury. Yet she want more. The only thing worse than a gold digging bitch is one who does it in her kds name. Like the children are driving her new Bentley? Like that is essential to the childrens health? MORONIC. HE and nobody else earned those belts. Don't they say "CHAMPION" ? so how can they belong to anybody but the champion. They are memorialzations of his accomplishments, NOT hers or the childrens. Before Moseely got real big he was a local. His ex-wife is went from normal to rich to gold digger. She doesn't have to work, they're not together and she is too rich to work. He should support his children but why in the hell should he give what he "FOUGHT" for, should he give up the student of the week award from third grade too.? The belts represent his own accomplishments and nobody elses. Also if you think the children would just "give back" the belts then you're more niave than you sound, which is bad. Open your eyes to the world and human nature. Do you read alot of fantasy? Only in the backward state of california.
  • You must be some spiteful person to reply in this mannor.She is absolutely a gold digging, spiteful,low morality individual.How can you fix your mouth to say that "These guys often divorce their children" and " forget to support them" HELLO a freaking house, enough money for anyone on the planet! and Ect. Is support.! This is just evidence that child support needs to be reformed drastically and soon. Im tired of seeing women take advantage of men just because the U.S. laws allow them too.
  • I'm just trying to imagine a father who gets full custody having a judge give him custody of his wife's trophy's or his wife's rings, even the rings he gave her like her wedding ring, to hold onto until the kids turn 18. I mean do you really want your 18 year old daughter to be given your 40,000 dollar wedding ring that your husband puts away for 10 years in a safety deposit box. Yes, those belts likely would have gone to the children, and yes Mom's wedding ring will likely go to the children, as will many possessions, but to take those possessions from the person who received them sets a bad precedent that could be used against mothers and fathers to extreme points. Imagine a veteran who lost both legs who's wife takes his medal of honor off his neck and puts it in a box for 17 years for their child (or what if the child was born into the marriage but some other guys from adultery). Or imagine a veteran, a woman who's 21 who earns a purple heart for 3 months in captivity where she was raped. Imagine having the medal ripped off her chest so that her step son can have it when he's 18. See, there's no way to see this without emotion and it's just a bad door to open.

    Didn't post this, but, completely agree! READ
  • If you are going to be a writer, learn to spell. It's "judgment", not "judgement".
  • Before you spout off, you should check your facts and realize that either spelling is correct. :)
  • Yes, it is true that either spelling is correct. However, when dealing with divorces, it is most certainly "judgment" and not "judgement". Sort of like "their", "they're" and "there". You use the wrong one, you just look stupid. Continue on Macnbrd.

  • In Great Britain and many of its former colonies, “judgement” is still the correct spelling, but ever since Noah Webster decreed the first E superfluous, Americans have omitted it. Many of Webster’s crotchets have faded away (each year fewer people use the spelling “theater,” for instance), but even the producers of Terminator 2: Judgment Day chose the traditional American spelling. If you write “judgement” you should also write “colour”.
  • And this has what to do wit the substance of the comment?
  • Exactly Kelemvorb!!! what the hell does this have to do with the subject. Dont gudje me please..
    lol
  • nitpicking shows you have nothing else, shut up
  • Hate to do ya like this but you dont have to be a writer to know that both judgement and judgment are acceptable in the english language. This is not about correcting people but if you are going to do it, please do your research. That is if "you are a writer.. lots of love
  • Re; Macnbrd: You are the one who should learn to spell. Judgement is the correct English spelling.
  • Ithink "belts for the children" is so much bs. That was a power struggle plain and simple. If his kids wanted a belt, he could chose to give them one or not, when they turn 18 and have a sense of their meaning. Those were personal. He did the work, he fought, he won. And oh, I am a woman boxing fan. I say take the money and run...but the belts...that's a whole other thing. If you don't get that...what can I say?
  • You can spell judgement either way.
  • "Judgement" is British English. If you use "judgement" then you should also use "colour," "honour," and "whilst."
  • well, whilst you sit here in judgement of this writer, I want you to know that this subject is growing way out of colour.. This is about belts and divorces.. Damn.. Or should I Damnit
  • In a non-legal context, spelling differs between countries. The spelling judgement (with e added) is common in the United Kingdom in a non-legal context. The spelling judgment without the e is however often listed first and in any case without comment or regional restriction in major UK dictionaries.[5][6][7] In British English, the spelling judgment is correct when referring to a court's or judge's formal ruling, whereas the spelling judgement is used for other meanings.[8] In American English, judgment prevails in all contexts.[9] In Canada and Australia, in a non-legal context both forms are equally acceptable, although judgment is more common in Canada and judgement in Australia.[10] However, in a legal and theological context, judgment is the only correct form. In New Zealand the form judgment is the preferred spelling in dictionaries, newspapers and legislation, although the variant judgement can also be found in all three categories. In South Africa, judgement is the more common form. The spelling judgment is also found in the Authorized King James Version of the Bible.

  • This is why men should never get married. Women are cute cuddly kittens when they are young but turn into fat, lazy house cats that eat, sleep sh*t and take your money. Better to be happy and play the field or find yourelf a nice hooker. The only difference between paid sex and free sex is that paid sex is cheaper.AND.....Why are divorces so expensive? Because they're worth it!
  • No all women are like that some of us get married and e are good wives, mothers , providers, house keepers, and lovers. Sometimes it's men's cheating azzes that are the problem, and then and only then will a good woman become vindictive. I personally was all of those and my husband was just a hoe. However I still didn't care about nothing except divorcing his azz, him paying child support and participating in his childrens lives. His sorry azz couldn't even do that. So don't get it twisted, two of my best friend also walked away from everything, house furniture all possesions, only took family pic, car, and personal belongings. So......
  • I take it msteel stands for mouse of steel.
    LOL!
  • Women deserve to have a decent settelment but they usally get way more than they deserve. Men know this and they still get married,oh well. Much cheeper/safer/better to get a hooker or masterbait,the end result will be the same. This Is why I remain single,and yes Im a reasonably happy person. I dont have millions of dollers like Shane,so a devorce could be devestating to me,like so many others. Some people I know are married and tell me they will never pay for sex,I smile and say "all righty then" lol;D
  • You ought to learn to spell masterbate not (masterbait).
    LMAO.
    Do you even know what that is?
  • The problem is the laws! In other cultures/countries men actually have right to the children ect. food for thought!
    Q: If women did not know that they were entilted to all of these outrageous benifits. How many of them would find a way to work it out like most of our parents and grandparents did?
    A: An overwhelming majority.
    If this woman had an ounce of class and dignity she wouldn't even wan't His Belts. I sure hope that other men pay attention and do not fall into this spiteful spiders web!
  • All joking aside, I do agree with you. She has absolutely no right to those belts and quite frankly neither do his children while he is alive. I stand by my position that she is a gold diggin bitch. I have zero respect for her and she should be ashamed. I doubt she had anything before they married and I don't think she should get any part of money made from his career. He paid her way while they were married. Now they are no longer together, she needs to pay her own way in life.
  • Think about it msteel, that goes both ways. Men forget to take care of themselves too. Hookers..I just want a Man on retainer!
  • It sounds like to me that she just like all the other women in this world that make sure she get all the man's money. She probably never loved him anyway. She aint gon spend the money on the kids. Watch what I tell you how she gon be walking around looking fly with new outfits and jewelry and cars. The money going in her pocket for her own use. She just like all these other baby mommas out here taking him for all that she can get so she will be supported for the rest of her life. What he should have done was made her sign a pre-nup so that when she leaves, she will ONLY leave with what she came into the relationship with. All she will get is child support. No alimony and no greivance. A pre-nup works wonders. All these money hungry females out here out to get a man just for his money. It don't make no sense. If rags was all she had when I met her, then rags will be what she leaves with after the divorce. HELLO!!! In the words of Resputia from Norbit, "how you doing"!!!
  • So what will spot her from selling later on down the road? If she wants a belt put on the gloves and go out fight for one. No judge should have that right. There's no justice in this country anymore.
  • She probably won them at home fighting him.
  • think you are missing, the judge awarded her to oversee (not sell) the belts until the children turn 18. Remember she has to pay to safe keep these belts until then. She can't sell them without some type of legal approval. If she does, shame on her, if she gets caught, then blame her.
  • As far as the belts, Shane agreed to the terms, otherwise he would had contested to the agreement. Intinally I thought the woman was a Gold-Digger but that was not the case, she just was not a pushover. The problem was his FATHER. The Father intervened and even probabaly wanted to mess arond with Shane's wife and she was not going for that. Thanks to his father's meddling, this resulted in a divorce. Why did you think he fired his father three times as his trainer? It never was a solid relationship between them two. Things happen and couples grow apart. A Pre-Nup should be in Shane's future the next time he gets married.
  • Mosley, tell your lawyer to step his game up. Make sure she don't get s***. I would fight to keep my own kids. She sure won't get them just so she can have some money. And then soon as she get a new man, Mosley, your money gon get spent on the new man, matter of fact, its gon be the child support money spent on the new man. I'm telling what I know about gold diggers. She with you as long as you're up on your feet to make it look like she the supportive little wife. But when you fall down, she gone, she wants a divorce. That don't seem suspicious to you??? Tell your lawyer step his game up and tell your gold digging wife the kids are coming with you. Like Kevin Hart said, "say it with your chest". Let her know that you mean business. You got 99 problems and a b**** aint 1!!!
  • In this time of day, a divorce does not work that way. I suggest you step into reality. Shane's father WAS the problem in why the divorce came into place, learn the facts before making a reasonable statement. Just because a woman wants a divorce does not make her a gold digger, would the divorce between Halle Berry and Eric Bennet make Bennet a Gold Digger??

    See that's what happens when you do not think thing throughly. Your own logic gets turned against you.
  • nobody said the divorce was her fault, just that she took what she should never have been entittled to. They are hallmarks of his accomplishments and nobody elses. They should never have been assigned a value or been an issue. Did he ask for her High School Diploma? some things just don't apply. This was wrong and the judge a moron. Shane agreed to it, either he's acting stupid or he was in a corner. Either way this is why the public opinion is of a system that favors women, because it does
  • The diploma is not a financial asset.
    Elvis's High School Diploma IS, though.
    Its about what this man could sell to make money. That is part of his income and fortune.
  • That judge should be disbarred! That is the most ignorant decision (divorce) that I ever heard. Did she take one damn punch to deserve those belts? The money, house, kids, understandable. The belts that he gave his life for? How can anyone justify this? Then wife should have NEVER put those in the decree as items she wanted. The judge, wife, lawyer all will rout in HELL!!!!!
  • The problem is that most judges side with the woman. Woman are always wanting fair and equal treatment until they feel they are entitled to something like when a divorce happens. The only time a woman should be given alimony or any money is when she was a stay home mom and/or she finacially contributed to the monetary pool, other than that, split the assests equally then be on your ways, two separate lives as if you never had each other.
  • that would be too fair, especialy in California, capitol of the femenist regime. Equal has a different meaning in california than in the rest of the world. Sad
  • And another thing, why is she asking for something she didn't earn to begin with. She didn't have her pretty little in the ring fighting for those belts. Thats just like a selfish money hungry woman. I'm a woman but I'm not gon try to take something that I know in the back of my mind I did not earn. Those belts have meanings to him. He worked for those belts, not her. She just done got outrageous. Where they do that at?!?! Homegirl whomever you are, sit down, shut up and get a job and support yourself. Stop being lazy waiting to a marry a rich man just so that you can take him for all that he's worth. So typical.
