Thread: No fight if Erik is over 132lbs!

http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2...FFLHRwuRr.html

Ace cornerman Freddie Roach told The Manila Bulletin late Tuesday morning (early Monday night in the US) that Manny Pacquiao won't get into the ring with Erik Morales if the Mexican weighs more than 132 lbs in their scheduled 12-round super-featherweight brawl on Nov. 18 in Las Vegas. "We will take the money and fight Morales if his weight is not more than 132 lbs," Roach said from the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. "Manny and myself have talked about this and we have both agreed. Manny and I agreed that there's going to be no fight if Morales weighs more than that," said Roach, who began training with Pacquiao for the Morales rubber match on Sept. 20. Morales will have to pay $500,000 for every pound in excess of 130 lbs and not the promotional company Top Rank that's going to shell out the money. The same clause also applies to Pacquiao, who, nonetheless is not at all concerned with failing to meet the 130-lb limit. Morales, according to the World Boxing Council, had weighed 142 lbs over the weekend, and is right on target in his weight reduction program under the watchful eyes of experts from the Velocity Sports Performance. The WBC had imposed that Morales should not weigh more than 143 lbs, exactly a month before the showdown. Meanwhile, Roach said Pacquiao was terrific in sparring for ten rounds with three sparmates, including Vicente Escobedo.

hahaha i said it and ill say it again: i told Roach hey if EM cant make the weight can u guys get MAB as a last minute replacement? hahah

Roach said, He'll make the weight he always does. (EM)

Morales will make the weight and go on to another win over Pac

Just a few weeks ago Pac's camp was giving Erik room to move around in the weight...now they drawen up the belt loops?

Scare tactics. Buncha bullshit.

MIND GAMES! Maybe Roachy should worry about that if or when it happens. Keep the bullshit out, this ones gonna be a beauty.

They gave him the room; the 2 lbs. They are just saying that's all he's going to get. What's hypocritical about that?

Is this 2lbs limit always been the benchmark, or is it something thats been introduced from Pacs's camp recently ?

Exactly. Nothing's changed. They're giving him 2 lbs. They're not insisting on 130, which they're perfectly entitled to do. I can't wait for this fight. I think it'll be more like the first one than the second one, except that it'll end the same way as the second. Pacman TKO 11, EM retires.

Not a problem with me either, this is a championship fight, not some ESPN2 undercard, if he can't make it within 2 pounds of the weight limit its not Pac's fault.

actually that's pretty generous of Pac to ALLOW Erik to fight up to 132lbs. Anything more than that is insane/unfair, or maybe Erik should fight Jose Luis Castillo instead Let's see if Morales can impose his size
