Floyd Mayweather-Manny-Pacquiao Talks 'Better' This Time

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have agreed in principle to fight for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight (147 pounds) belt on Nov. 13 at either Thomas & Mack Center or the MGM Grand -- each of which is in Las Vegas-- with the Dallas Cowboys' stadium also being considered as a site. And one of the reasons that the negotiations have gone so smoothly is that the negotiators appear to have learned from the first time. That's when an apparent deal appeared to have been struck for a March 13 bout at the MGM between the six-time champion Mayweather (41-0, 25 knockouts) and seven-division king Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs), only to reach an impasse in December over random drug testing for both fighters to be conducted by the United States Anti-Doping Agency. http://boxing.fanhouse.com/2010/07/02/adviser-floyd-mayweather-manny-pacquiao-talks-smoother-this-tim/
