Anybody knows when tickets go on sale for this fight?

Ok, I found the answer, nevermind.

This isnt going to be a fun fight for Morales fans...

Exactly. They will see a PAC at the peak of his potential.

And they will see PAC as an unstoppable juggernaut with this moves. Last time I looked PAC already knows how to make his opponent's jabs a useless tool. Last time I looked, PAC has started to break ribs and go to the body more. And last time I looked PAC has a defense and a counter-game which just explodes on you whenever you try to play it pretty in front of him.

Morales will fight his best, but it will not be enough. PAC will just have to train adequately for this fight.

“I will beat him in this fight just like I beat him last fight,” said Pacquiao. “I am the best super featherweight in the world and I cannot wait to prove it to Erik Morales…again. Morales will fee the strength of the people of The Philippines behind every punch I land on him. This may be the ‘Grand Finale’ on our trilogy, but it is just the beginning for Manny Pacquiao.”

so i guess he's not retiring?

[Papa Ace]

I'm going for Morales like I did the last time!

yeah chups go for morales pleaseeee!!!!

Ill be picking PAc on this one but i expect Erik to give all his best.

Just hopes he makes the weight and not pull a Castillo

[Castillofan]

Pacquiao going for this fight immediately makes me think he's thinking that he can just sweep up the scraps of Morales easily. For taht reason, I hope Morales beats him. It's not out of the question. Morales could pull a Barrera and simply refuse to go out like that.

but I stress to all of you WATCH OUT FOR ALL THING PERTAINING TO MORALES PREPARATIONS.

They have said that he will enter a health camp two months before he even goes into training camp officially to make sure that he makes weight.

This came from Arum and we shall see if this is a **** up like the whole Castillo fiasco when Arum insisted that the weight would be fine and threw his hands up in the air when Castillo failed, even as Castillo said and I quite, "I told you I couldn't make the ****ing weight!"

The fight is on November, its August now. EM will have about 2 months of health camp then about 2 months of boxing camp. So his overall training should have started in July. Well its been a month of health camp already and its look like EM did not lose weight yet. Well, he has still 3 months, hopes he makes the weight.

As far as Castillo said he couldn't make weight, the question is how hard did he try to lose weight.

[Castillofan]

As far as Castillo said he couldn't make weight, the question is how hard did he try to lose weight.

Well, we'll never know that. But history tells us that Castillo struggled to make weight for Corrales I, couldn't make weight for the rematch, and couldn't make weight for the Reyes fight. I spoke to him just before he fought Julio Diaz and he said he was struggling with the weight and wanted to be at 140.

The writing is on the wall. People thinking that Castillo just decided to be an ass and not make weight are the same ****heads that come on forums and call fighters *******; the same fighters they probably couldn't beat in a shouting match never mind a fight.

It's something at Top Rank, man.

Jorge Arce is not making weight properly.

Morales couldn't make weight for Raheem.

Arum moved the weigh-in ahead several hours so that Cotto could rehydrate for Malignaggi.

And Arum saw a drained Morales gte decimated by Pacquiao and then insist right in the ring, right next to the guy that the third fight would still have to be at 130, despite the evidence that Morales cannot make that weight healthily.

Watch out for all this health club crap from Arum, he'll just be covering his own ass as he did with Castillo and if Morales doesn't make weight and jeopardizes the fight, he will act all innocent again.

Don't blame Top Rank. Blame the fighters for not fighting in their proper weight classes. It's the fighters' choice, not the promoter's.
