Haye vs Klitschko is 99 Percent Done According to Manager

It looks like Wlad Klitschko and David Haye may actually fight on June 25th or July 2nd according to Wlad's manager.  The two sides have negotiated a fight with a 50-50 split after Wlad dropped out of his fight with Dereck Chisora due to an injury.  If Wlad is still injured his brother Vitali may step in and take the fight with Haye as both are in the contract.  After some pretty crazy trash talking between both sides this heavyweight superfight looks to be ready to go.  It could be the biggest fight in boxing outside of Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather.  Since the contract isn't signed anything is possible but lets keep our fingers crossed that this fight happens asap.

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Negotiations Starting Up Again

According to Floyd's uncle Jeff Mayweather, the camps of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd are going to get a letter of intent for a fight later in 2011.  If they sign the letter they should probably enter negotiations to set up the fight and if everything goes well we'll have a fight near the end of the year.  It seems Mayweather finally needs the money and has probably seen holes in Pacquiao's armor over recent fights.  Maybe he's hoping Shane Mosley will further break him down.
