War between 2 giants!

The March 13 fight between Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather Jr. is still hanging on a cliff, it might go down the drain. On the other hand, Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions are going to sit down with an arbitrator, break bread, and hopefully finalize the mega-fight of the century.

Though millions of boxing fans across the globe hope that a bout will be sign, sealed, and delivered for March 13, I know a few people who will cross their fingers and toes hoping the bout completely falls apart.

Paulie Malignaggi and Yuri Foreman have both been mentioned as possible opponents to replace Floyd and make the payday of their careers.

Do you think Paulie and Yuri are wishing they were flies on the wall of the office where this power meeting will take place?

Sure Malignaggi might think Pacquiao is a cheat, but that will not keep him from fighting the Filipino and while making a million dollars or two. Imagine all of the artificial braids and waxing creams Paulie can purchase with that sort of loot?

Foreman might have no pop in his fists, but he is a like-able lad and holds a title which could prove to be Pacquiao's eighth in eight divisions. Nobody said Pacquiao was looking for quality in the quantity of his crowns. Foreman vs. Pacquiao? The average Joe might think Big George is coming back out of retirement.

Make a good deal Mayweather

Now that the Pacquiao-Mayweather is in danger and it might be flushed down the drain because of the controversial random blood-testing prior to the fight, as proposed by the camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr., there are several other options that could happen. There have been talks that both camps are considering Shane Mosley to be the next opponent, a very possible option. Also the camp of Pound-for-Pound champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao might be considering Paulie Malignaggi; while on the other hand, Mayweather is also considering Matthew Hatton (brother of Ricky Hatton) to be his next opponent.

March 2010 could be the possible date for the Pacquiao-Mayweather mega-fight but due to this drug-testing controversies there is a slight chance that the bout will take place. Mayweather's camp wants random blood-testing and urninaylsis; Pacquiao's has agreed to the urinalysis, but not to the random blood-testing. After all, Mayweather camp seems like they are still making negotiations. Well better make it a good deal.
