Pacquaio-Mayweather Fight Moves One Step Closer
It appears that the "dream" fight between Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao has taken another step towards becoming a reality as Mayweather has agreed to the initial terms of a welterweight fight, tentatively scheduled for March 13th with May 1st as a fallback date.
The location of the fight has not been determined but there is interest from several venues including the new Cowboys Stadium, the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and the New Orleans Superdome.
Timing for this fight will be critical is Pacquiao is scheduled to run for a congressional seat in his home country of the Philippines which holds elections on May 10th.
If Pacquiao-Mayweather isn't finalized, Arum has talked about matching Pacquiao with junior middleweight titlist Yuri Foreman, which would give Pacquiao an opportunity to win a title in an eighth division. Foreman defeated Daniel Santos to win a 154-pound belt on the Pacquiao-Cotto undercard.
Schaefer has talked about bringing Mayweather to England to match him with Matthew Hatton in the event Pacquiao-Mayweather isn't made. Hatton is the brother of Ricky Hatton, the former junior welterweight and welterweight titlist whom Mayweather knocked out in 2007.(espn.com)

Iverson Back From Retirement - Accepts 76ers Offer
After declaring his retirement, it appears Allen Iverson has had a change of heart. Iverson notified the Philadelphia 76ers that he will in fact accept their contract offer and re-join the team where he was once the marquee player. According to ESPN:
If Iverson received the pro-rated veterans minimum, the deal would be worth $1,029,794. He could get the full veterans' minimum of $1,306,455 if the Sixers signed him with the mid-level or $1.99 million contract exception.
"In light of the recent injury to Lou Williams, which will sideline him for close to eight weeks, we felt that Allen was the best available free agent guard to help us at this time," team president Ed Stefanski said
Iverson has been traded around the league several times in recent years including stints in Denver, Detroit and most recently, Memphis.

"Giant Magazine" to Cease Print Edition
Another publication has fallen victim to the economy, this time music magazine "Giant" which is changing direction to go digital at a later date.Owner Radio One announced Giant is folding in print, although it will continue in some form online. No word on layoffs yet. They paid a mere $270K for Giant in 2007, so the financial loss is not as terrible as it could have been, in a cold, corporate sense. (Gawker.com)
The publication has hardly been immune to hard times, being tested as recently as 2007 when an "unknown" source sent out letters to advertisers of the magazine claiming that they were shutting their doors. The online publication will operate under a subsidiary of Radio One, Interactive One and operate at GiantLife.com. Radio One's other digital endeavors include Blackplanet.com, Newsone.com and Hellobeautiful.com.
Speaking to Allhiphop.com, Interactive One Cheif Content Officer, Smokey Fontaine, had this to say:
“Suspending the print vehicle marks the end of an era, but I am thrilled with the opportunity to bring more Celebrity, Style and Culture to our audiences through my exclusive video series, and other integrated rich media opportunities...In the coming months consumers can look forward to more exclusive content from trend-setter and celebrity bloggers and active user participation and dialogue through TheGIANTList.” (Allhiphop.com)
The final print edition will be on stands December 15th and feature R&B star Alicia Keys.

Tiger Woods Will Not Play in His Own Tournament
After what has become a tumultuous Thanksgiving break, Tiger Woods has now pulled out of his own golf tournament. According to his website, Woods claimed he would not be able to play due to facial lacerations as a result of his one-car accident in the early morning hours of November 27th.
Following rumors of an alleged affair, Tiger was involved in a one-car collision outside of his home at 2:25 Friday morning. While he has yet to talk with police, Woods did take to his personal website to make this statement:
Keep checking back for more updates as the story develops...
"As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.
This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.
This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.
The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.
This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be."

According to some reports, the name of the song was originally "Maniac" but insides thought it was a bad decision to associate Brown's name and image with the title because of his on-going legal issues.
