Maybe, by joining formidable forces, they can deliver Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao, the super fight the world is getting tired of waiting for.

Or maybe not.

But what I do know is that Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey will be hard pressed to outdo the "Sunshine Boys"--79 year olds Don King and Bob Arum--as they mix it up starting Thursday morning here in Times Square with what may be their final co-venture.

Who's fighting, where are they fighting?

Come on, who cares?

Does it really mean anything with the Hertz & Avis of boxing, the dominant promoter over 40-plus years, boxing's Twin Towers, merging for a co-promoter that both King and Arum, in separate converdations Monday night, both told me would be "a circus."

The event date is March 12 and Uncle Bob and Uncle Don will be appearing at BB King's Thursday morning to hype it up...as only they can, the "Only In America" legend who came out of an Ohio prison and the Harvard Law grad known for saying "yesterday I was lying but today I am telling the truth."

BB King's musical boite will be the venue as they publicize a March 12 boxing show at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas where the main go will feature Arum's redoubtable Puerto Rican, Miguel Cotto, and King's whack job Nicaraguan, Ricardo Mayorga..

But, wait, there is more, Arum informed me.

"We got Christy Martin, just stabbed by her crazy husband, and her attorney, Gloria Allred. And we've got the rabbi to be, Yuri Foreman. And we've got the Polish kid, Pawel Wolak. This is a real circus."

A real circus, indeed, with two master organ grinders.

Boxing's true King and Lonesome Bob as DK calls him....

I, for one, cannot wait.
