In a press Conference in Argentina Former Super Bantam, Featherweight, and Super Featherweight champion Erik Morales spoke about his future plans.


About a 4th fight against Barrera
I dont think it will ever happen because i dont think they will dare to fight me again, They've beat me and i doubt they will risk it and fight me one more time. I simply doubt it because they dont have the guts.

About going up to 135 lbs.
I am going to 135, but before im gonna stick around at 130 a little bit more and see what i can do around here. One last fight. We are going to see if Manny Pacquiao wants to fight me. But if not i will go up to 135 in September. The lightweight champion is my Friend Jose Luis Castillo. Since he is having trouble making weight he will move up and i will go and fight for the belt he vacates.

About discrimination in Boxing
Unfortunately discrimination does exist. Us Mexicans have to work a little more.

About his Visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina
I like the emotion the Argentenians have for their atheletes. If the fans for boxing are the same as the ones for Soccer believe me i envy you. The only bad thing is you cant drink at the soccer game.

Good to hear that he wants Pacman to call out his name. Pacman just signed yesterday the contract with HBO to book a fight with Erik in July courtesy of Murad. I'm not sure if Erik knew that.

EM doesn't have to wonder if pacman wants him. He has to wonder if Arum wants to play BS with Murad again. He dangled EM to murad as ploy to get pacman out of the MAB- pacman rematch then left team pacman in cold and offered barrera a trilogy and we all know what happened. Bad Karma to the max! Arum has more tricks up his sleeves and his boxer saying he wants to fight with pacman doesn't amount to anything unless the top dog says so.

Do you mean who runs it.. or who really runs it. haha :D

The guy they put as CEO is Arums nephew i believe. But Arum is still running things when it comes to the big fights.
