Pacquiao: ‘No way at 132 lbs.’
By nick giongco
MANNY PACQUIAO is more than willing to square off with Erik Morales for the third time in September, but it will have to be at the agreed weight of 130 lbs.
Informed about the much-awaited rubber match that Top Rank has already announced, Pacquiao told the Bulletin yesterday that it will have to be at 130, not at 132 lbs.
"Humahanap sila ng paraan (para makabawi sa akin)," Pacquiao said yesterday after attending Sunday services in his native General Santos City.
"Ano sila, hilo?" added Pacquiao, who mauled Morales so bad in their rematch last Jan. 19 that ringsiders thought the Mexican would soon announce his retirement.

Just stick to what is written in the contract. NO IFs not BUTs.
I don't think Team Pac is that DUMB not to realize what's going to be the implication.
If Eric can't make 130 then there's no rematch.
Not to get technical here but that's not a rematch. It's a rubber match. Big difference.
This last fight made some people forget that Morales actually beat Pacquiao in their first fight.
Pac will be remembered as the first fighter in history who KTFO Morales in a brutal beating. Better yet, Pac will be remembered in history as the first fighter (and probably the only fighter) who viciously knocked out the two Mexican greats and shocked the boxing community.
Now that's owned. :rolleyes:
I was trying to make a point. I hate to use the term "owned". It's pretty stupid and adds nothing to a good conversation.
morales was clearly winnin the 1st fight so he thought it would be entertaining to switch sides, "he did it to entertain the people" he knew pac wasnt gonna kd with his left, he did it for the fans. now can manny do the same? or has he ever done somethin similar? :rolleyes:
call it entertainment, bravado, or plain stupidity...but it was the only thing pac needed that night. after those exchanges pac realized that he could take morales. an intelligent fighter like pac saw that window of opportunity and gave him a measure of confidence, to believe he could KTFO Morales...and as we all know the rest is history.

well, if its your logic that pac should also imitate what erik did (switching south) then you wont get it. erik is a terrific and talented boxer who doesnt only give his all but also entertains the crowd with many more things he could do. Pac isnt that to Im sorry to say. His enterainment come from a left fist that puts mexcians' ass to the canvass. ;)
morales was kd then tko. its not like youeve never seen somebody get kd or somethin. everygood fighter looses from time to time, like morales got kd so will pac its boxing. its happens
granted, but beating 2 of the best fighters of their generation the way pac did is something special -- and he is the only fighter who has that distinction.
omfg? the allllll mgihty manny pac, scared of 2 pounds!! what a pussy!!!
Its Manny on the driver's seat and he does all the talking now. Pac weighs 133 during start of training. And he began at 104 in his career, in case your mama didnt told you so He DOES NOT have any prob makin 2 pounds. Its a pride thing and would only be validating excuses that EM did indeed lose because of making weight. Arum just added that the 2-pound to make EM agree to the fight and he's pampering EM everything's he's got coz of the mega-$$$$ itll be generating. If EM loses this 3rd fight, expect Arum to drop him like a hot burrito. Ya can quote me on that. MAB is an example of a pussy and not ducking a 2 pound additional. Its ok if you like Erik, we like him too, but dont make it too obvious that ya wanna suck his dick. :D

Morales had the first fight so clearly bagged that he even toyed with Pacquiao by fighting southpaw, just to show off. That's owned.
See how that kind of terms doesn't add anything to the conversation?

Sup Janno, knowing Morales he'll tell Arum to fuck the 132 and he'll make 130. If he does, he's got dibs on Pac cuz of the contract.
i'm kool mooks! if the rubber match happens as per the contract, then i'll give props to erik for being man enough to abide by it. whatever happens, this fight will be a good one as both fighters are true warriors. but a rematch with mab is not a bad idea either since mab will get a chance to redeem himself. :boxing:
pac on a national television interview this morning in PI just reiterated the first statement he made last sunday that he is not going to fight erik at 132lbs and will WAIT FOR BARRERA INSTEAD.
he said that arum just wanted to lure him into a trap and he sees no reason to move to 132lbs since their first two fights were at 130lbs.
now pac-mab 2 is the fight i've been wanting to see!

beating Morales into a TKO was entertainment.
if you mean the little things, Pac raises his hands, shakes his head to show MOrales punches DOESNT DO ANYTHING to him.

that's my answer. Gatti owned Damgaard and switched soutpaw to prove it.
