Pacquiao vs. Mayweather: ‘It’s not gonna happen”…
Three-division world champion Erik Morales is convinced the dream fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, is just that – it’s just a dream.
When asked for his analysis about how the much anticipated “Super Bowl of Boxing” event might play out, Morales replied, “When they are gonna make the fight – talk to me. I don’t think it’s going to happen.”
Morales (49-6, 34 KO’s), who made his pro debut in 1993 and turns 34 on September 1, will box against Scotland’s Willie Limond (33-2, 8 KO’s) in Mexico City, Mexico for the vacant WBC Diamond Super Lightweight championship on September 11.

Pacquiao’s bout in Abu Dhabi UAE
Aug 17th
Manny Pacquiao’s next fight could be staged in Abu Dhabi UAE, according to the boxer’s management. Set to take place on November 13, the bout – against either Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito – would likely take place at the Concert Arena, Yas Island, the venue for the recent Ultimate Fighting Champion battle. Confirmation on the November 13 event expected by end of July 2010.
Hailing from the Philippines, Pacquiao is reportedly keen to stage the event in the Emirates due to its large population of expatriate Filipinos.
Pacquiao is the first boxer in the history to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions — flyweight, super bantamweight, featherweight, super featherweight, lightweight, light welterweight and welterweight.
