A contract is a contract. It is lame for EM to try to change the contract when circumstances doesn't suit them.

I bet this fight wont happen. remembr where u heard it

It's smart of Manny to stick to his decision not to fight Eric at 132lbs. He knows its an trap and definitely gives Eric a big advantage. IMO Eric needs Manny more than Manny needs Eric. Eric's the one who has to prove that he isn't shot after his devastating loss to Pacman. Besides fans want to see Barrera avenge his loss to Manny and Manny has his sight on MAB. Moreover, several boxing experts don't expect Erick to turn the table against Pacman, another reason why people are not very anxious about the rubber match.

I'm glad that Finkel is now singing a different tune and decides to support Manny not to fight at 132.

Some of that stuff is true but if he doesnt take the fight with morales then Paquiao should never move up in wieght because the people will remember this.

I don't think Pacquiao's reluctance to fight at 132lbs is because he is incapable of it. I still think he knocks Morales out at this weight or 135lb for that matter. This is about Pacquiao calling the shots and not giving in liked he had always done in the past. Pacquiao has learned from Murad and has chased Morales to 130lbs. when he was very comfortable at 126lbs. Morales never gave Pacquiao any leeway by making Pacquiao wear gloves he never used before and was not comfortable with. I was for Pacquiao going up to 132lbs because I know the results would be the same and I did not want to see Pacquiao *****ing out of a challenge. But the real challenge hear is with being able to put his foot down and for once calling the shots and fighting on his terms and not *****ing out to Arum or Finkel or anybody.

Trust me, I've been saying it over and over again, this is NOT really about the weight but about principle. Pac refusing to fight Erik @132 is like saying "Who the f*ck are you to tell me what to do? I'm calling the shots now, beatch!"

These blind Morales nuthuggers are just too difficult to deal with. They're still in denial mode about Erik getting KO'd.

But like I said, MONEY is still the boss. Pac would fight Mike Tyson if given the right amount of money.
