'El Terrible' to Tackle 'the Pac Man' on March 19th
Brief Provided by MAXBOXING.com (January 9, 2005)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
