Pacquiao vs Morales

[Saint3605]

Various sources have told MaxBoxing that on March 19th Erik Morales will take on Manny Pacquiao on HBO Pay-Per-View.


There had been much speculation as to just who Pacquiao would be fighting next. Many believed that the Filipino superstar would face Juan Manuel Marquez in a highly anticipated rematch on February 26th, but the fight was never finalized contractually.



Many in the industry believe that the Morales-Pacquiao match-up is being made by Top Rank to put Marco Antonio Barrera and Golden Boy Promotions in a bit of a bind. With Morales and Pacquiao facing each other, Barrera finds himself for the time being without a big-name opponent.



Perhaps, Barrera can face Marquez, who once again finds himself on the outside looking in.

• PACQUIAO-MORALES -- The hotly anticipated rematch between featherweights Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 26, is in jeopardy.

Pacquiao's promoter, Murad Muhammad, was in Las Vegas last week to meet with Top Rank officials, trying to salvage the bout.

If the fight isn't arranged, there's a possibility Pacquiao would fight Erik Morales on March 19. Top Rank president Todd duBoef said Morales will fight in March, but refused to reveal the opponents being considered.

Top Rank chairman Bob Arum refused Saturday to comment on the status of Pacquiao-Marquez or the potential of a Morales-Pacquiao fight. Arum said he expected to have the situation resolved by Wednesday.

Another Arum ploy to confuse Murad and Beristain. Damn it, I'm also confused. Maybe another pre fight brouhaha to ****e up Pac-JMM 2.

Damn ! If this is true when will Pac get the chance to win those belts !

The "BELTS" are already losing its luster. Forget those

[mr. bojangles]

Damn ! If this is true when will Pac get the chance to win those belts !

Don't worry, Pac is ranked as the #2 contender in the IBF...just right behind the fearsome P4P fighter Rocky Juarez.
