    Arum disclosed that Nov. 13 is the date when Pacquiao will fight again.
    "I have reserved the date and both the Dallas Cowboys Stadium and MGM Grand in Las Vegas are available," Arum said. "The cable systems and the satellite providers have put the date aside for us, so the table is set. Manny can get sworn in at the end of June, then attend the sessions of congress in July and -- as long as he keeps in shape -- then he has plenty of time to train for the fight."

      The translation was pretty much on point with the article.

        I'm a fan, but following based on blind ignorance because his name is Floyd Mayweather is just ******. Respect deserves respect and acting like a b1tch deserves being treated like one and if Floyd fights Eric, then he is a b1tch because thats a b1tch move.
        And you place a lot of hate on the word IF , this is Matt Hatton and Spadafora all over again and haters made massive threads about those as well with all sorts of fabricated proof , Morales is not up to the profile needed to get a fight with Floyd today , he is not up to this level and it would be very hard sell , and thats not even including that Floyd would take Morales apart and they could not hype up Eric to have a chance , that is common sense if you follow boxing .

          Why is anybody so surprised? FLoyd wanted to fight Spadafora, he has always been a cherry picker.

            Meh....Floyd can sell a fight by himself...He's that big of a draw. He can fight anyone and it will sell.

            Mexicans still have a lot of love, admiration, and respect for El Terrible...So they will buy it especially on what is perceived to a Mexican holiday.

            Now I don't think they will fight at all, I don't think Floyd is interested, I don't even think Floyd is negotiating anything...I think this is more coming from Golden Boy than Mayweather own personal team. However, I can see it doing respectable numbers if it happens. But, it won't.

              i think its best to withhold any comments/condemnations regarding this until we hear from floyd HIMSELF if he's negotiating to fight with Morales.

              i seriously doubt floyd is even considering this fight anyway. after all, isn't Morales Manny's leftovers twice over?

                Yes I agree with most of your post , I think a lot of fighters get screened by people in the background of the big name fighters , kinda of like an elimination of possibles , and because its Floyd if the slightest whiff of anybody associated to him asking somebody would they be interested in a fight if it materialized , then in places like here all off a sudden its fact and the fight is in full negotiation , I feel Floyd has a very limited number of opponents that are worthy in the public eye of a fight with him , but I suppose if a guy can win the right fight at the right time and captures the publics imagination then they could get the fight , like Ortiz did , won a big fight was currant WW Champ and it was assumed was bigger stronger and hits much harder than Floyd .

                  You're not a fan, you're a clown and if anyone is a b*tch here it's you. Look at yourself son, you're throwing a hissy fit over some rumor like a little girl. That's what b*tch's do. You're on the internet calling a professional fighter a b*tch based on a rumor that you don't like. That's what a b*tch does. You wouldn't have the nerve to call Mayweather or any other professional fighter a b*tch to their face, so why run around here with your chest poked out as if you can handle the weight of doing that? You're a true to life b*tch, that's why.

                    Why do you call this a rumor? When F'ing Golden Boy has said that they went to Morales with a Floyd Jr offer...

                    Obviously is not a rumor.

                    Now is there negotiations, or a fight a happening between the two? No, not necessarily...But, is this a rumor? No.

                      this is a dumb move by mayweather if this becomes official. the respect i have for him for taking on live opponents in mosley and ortiz will diminish if he fights this fat, old washed up paper chump who got beat down by maidana and outboxed by a green 21 year old. erik morales is irrelevant.
