Sports Thread For 12/1/09: Floyd-Manny Fight On Line For Either March Or May 2010

Says the great Dan Rafael

The proposed super fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is getting closer.

Mayweather agreed to terms for the welterweight title bout on Tuesday, multiple sources with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN.com.

The proposed date is March 13, although there is a chance it could move to May 1, sources said. Mayweather, according to a source close to him, is OK with either date.

Now the latter date could become as a problem as Rafael describes, because of Pacquiao facing eligibility issues for trying to become a Congressional figure in the Philippines.

And the whole prize money split hasn't been even ironed out yet it seems. But the progress towards this fight is happening fast and frantic.
