Talks Turn to a Mayweather and Pacquiao Mega Fight

It was totally expected but after now that Floyd Mayweather has beaten Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao beat Joshua Clottey talk of a super fight is back on. Floyd and Manny will have to (gulp) start negotiations again once Pacquiao is done dabbling in politics back in his homeland of the Philippines. Issues? Drug testing of course. Money split? For sure after Mayweather gets a huge pay per view with for his last fight despite having far greater opportunities for promotion. Both are huge draws so I would consider that issue a wash unless Mayweather becomes stubborn about it. I expect Pacquiao to back off and find common ground on the drug testing issue. If those issues can be resolved we should be clear. Hopefully, Mayweather doesn't invent a new issue for us to worry about and we can finally see one of the biggest fights ever.
