WTF?? Pac's has to have an interim bout before he could face Morales again BS!

No, Pac chose to have an interim bout. He knows Erik needs a long rest for the beating he took. They could've fought the next day if they wanted.

i really do not see the need for a 3rd fight. i think it was clear that Pac is the better at this point

I dunno but that clause was stated in the 2nd fight contract which is BEFORE the fight was held.

A clause in a contract is a understanding between both sides. A clause can be exercised or aborted if they both concur and its in their best interests.
In this case Erik is taking a long rest and Pac. wants to stay busy, hence the interim fight.
If a third fight is agreed upon, there's already a clause in their previous contract and the contract originator, the promoter, has rights on this fight.

I dont get the rationale why in the last contract states that if ever Erik loses, Pac has to undergo an interim bout (and win) before he could face Erik again. I mean Pac KTFO Erik but EM gets to wait for Pac to pull another fight to win just to face him again and he gets to have a longer rest. Whadda **** is that? sumbody care to ****in explain???

if i remember it right bro, an interim fight was not in the contract... the contract says they will have th rematch in 6 months... but i think they did not expect the beating morales took from pac so they are doing it at a later date...

it appears to be that way at least for the time being. pac is very interested to co-promote the fight with hbo in manila some time in may. if larios pulls out, jauregui is next in line, so i gathered.

I personally think staying busy is to a fighter's advantage, so I don't think this is exactly unfair. Keeping busy usually keeps you sharp and on top of your game, so this should only be good for Pacquiao by the time the 3rd fight rolls around, especially since I doubt he'll be in a war or anything like that.

Larios is a good tune up!
