O/T BOXING.

Mayweather and Pacquiao are almost signed and sealed on terms of contracts to fight each other.
HBO Have reportedly booked a March date in 2013 for the Bout with the lasting issue set to be resolved is THE VENUE?.

All promotional parties have cottoned on to the increased revenues of staging fights at Football Stadia instead of compact casino venues.
Despit being able to charge a higher price on the single Seat at a Vegas casino,seats are limited.
Whilst Dallas and other big football stadia can offer over ten times the amount of seating.
Whilst this has been a common trait in Europe with the finest fighters this side of the Atlantic having at least once faught in this sort of surroundings many American bass fighters are unused to these surroundings.

Manny will have experience with several fights under his belt at the 90,000 seater Dallas Cowboys Stadium Floyd has only faced opponents at indoor and casino venues.

Elswhere Ricky Burns and Adrien Broner has been ordered by one of the Alphabet belts and if it happens Ricky will have to raise his game even higher.
David Haye is hoping to announce his next opponent shortly,he is just waiting on Vitali's political exploits to finish. But has said he will not wait forever and has other options.
We can all assume that is aimed at Tyson Fury, as Mick Hennessy has confirmed in the past week that there has been talks and both parties would be easily pleased.

Jinks many moons ago there was an American fighter called Riddick Bowe, he gave up his titles instead if facing his mandatory Lennox Lewis.( In a publicity stunt Bowe alongside Don King dumped them in the bin and goaded Lewis come and get them out of the trash).
I lost all respect and intrest in Bowe from then on.

Tyson Fury has in my eyes done the exact same when he surrendered his belts instead of facing David Price.

I Think Price could be a class operator and challenge at the highest level.
As for Fury, it's only a matter of time before he starts seeing canvas close ups.

I think it was a bit different this time. Both Price and Fury could have a huge scrap and get alot of money for it. But why waste the chance to fight each other this time for a purse that could be much much bigger in 4-8 fights time. Its business. Fury wouldnt have given up a belt if it was a world belt.
