Manny Pacquiao vs Erik Morales

Manny Pacquiao vs Erik Morales bout this coming November 18, 2006. The southpaw Pacquiao reportedly signed up to fight Morales a third time for $3 Million, plus financial upsides should the Mexican star fail to make weight. Half a million dollars goes to Pacquiao if Morales comes in a pound heavier, while a million dollars will be paid him should the Mexican come two pounds south of the 130-lb border. If Morales comes in more than two pounds heavier, the Filipino boxing hero has the option to decline or take the fight, plus his guaranteed $1 million.

De La Hoya confirmed Friday's ESPN.com report that his company had signed the Filipino icon to a seven-fight promotional contract during a secret dinner in Los Angeles last Monday night. In addition, Golden Boy will pay Pacquiao a signing bonus of about $300,000.

"Do not worry about anything. Everything is OK," De La Hoya said "We have a legal contract with Manny Pacquiao. And Bob Arum, who is threatening to sue Golden Boy, to sue Manny Pacquiaio, that is him being a bully like always."
