Former three division champion Erik Morales has two proposals on the table from Golden Boy Promotions. One of them is a fight against British star Amir Khan, the current junior welterweight king of the World Boxing Association, and the other is a fight against American boxer Zab Judah, the current junior welterweight king of the IBF. Morales would prefer a rematch with Marcos Maidana, but the puncher from Argentina is asking for a hefty financial sum to face the Mexican veteran for a second time.
"He wants a rematch with Maidana, but [Marcos] will not be ready for July 30, which is the date being offered by HBO, and he also wants a lot of money, which we don't have [for that show]," said Eric Gomez, matchmaker for Golden Boy, to reporter Sal Rodriguez. "Erik told us that he wants to fight with Zab Judah and now we're investigating. There's also an offer with Amir Khan and HBO is willing to pay for that fight. In the end, we have to adjust some numbers and talk about the purses and make sure that we don't exclude anyone. We hope to finalize something soon."
