Image: Pacquiao/Mayweather next barrier: Weight IssueBy Frank (Frankly) Livingstone: Well it seems that Christmas comes a bit early this month for both Pacquiao and Mayweather fans. Manny Pacquiao has come out and declared that the drug test is no longer an issue and Manny is now willing to take a 45:55 split for the fight.

Image: Is Mayweather Jr. really Afraid of Pacquiao?By Babatis Banda: I am fully aware that these issues have been exhausted and discussed too numerous times to count. However, I find them irresistible as they form the co-arguments on both sides. I want to be as sober as I possibly can and try to look into these issues with an intellect approach, different from the daily dumb ‘noise makers’ that make the bulk of these arguments and accusations.
