Mayweather vs Pacquiao: negotiations in progress for fight in early 2010
The talks have began for the upcoming megafight. I hope both sides come to an agreement and they don't make us wait weeks just to find out when the fight will take place. We all know this fight WILL break all records and A LOT of money will be made on both sides. So they should just make it 50-50, and a catch weight of 145. I don't think Mayweather will have any problems making 145, despite what happened with Marquez. This fight, IMO, will happen in May. The same month that Oscar fought Mayweather and they set the record in PPV buys.
Also, Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter, was in talks with Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, in having a boxing fight around May or June in the new Cowboys stadium. With the size of that stadium and the hype that Mayweather vs. Pacquiao has drawn, this would be the perfect place for the fight. I hope it takes place here.

Epic fights? My definition of Epic is heroic and impressive...Let me see. Floyds last five opponents were Marquez,Hatton,De La Hoya, Baldomir and Zab. I've watched all those and you call those epic fights. One TKO to Hatton and the rest on decisions. Yes he did outclass & outbox them. Floyd won impressively but what was so heroic about those wins.
Pacman had one KO, 3 TKO's, and a decision in his last five fights. Three being the same opponents that Floyd has and he put all three on their asses which floyd did not. Correct me if im wrong. Besides the quick KO he gave to Hatton. All those fight were battles and wars. Which is way more Epic to me than Floyds last five fights.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see how epic this fight is going to be and see which fighter comes out with the W. My money's all on Mayweather.
