                    [Title] => Morales talent fee high but not high enough
                    [Summary] => 



No less than P2 million or its dollar equivalent.


According to a very reliable source, this was the talent fee that was dangled before Mexican boxer Erik Morales and American trainer Freddie Roach for their roles in the latest San Miguel Beer commercial.


The source described the amount as "substantial," considering that the 30-year-old Morales, a future Hall-of-Famer, is the type of boxer who easily makes millions of dollars for a single fight.

                    [Summary] => 



After three vicious fights in the ring, it would have been quite hard to imagine Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales sharing one table, enjoying a "few rounds" of beer.


But past midnight of Saturday shortly after the Mexican boxer arrived from the US, it did happen on the classy 25th floor lounge of the Diamond Hotel along Roxas Blvd.


Morales is in the country for a short vacation reportedly promised him and his wife by a Filipino friend, who lives next door the Mexican couple who keeps a house in California.

Erik Morales, the classy Mexican boxer, was scheduled to arrive in Manila last night, not for the planned San Miguel Beer commercial, but for a short vacation with some Filipino friends.


Morales, who was knocked out by Manny Pacquiao in the third round in Las Vegas last November, was to stay at the Diamond Hotel along Roxas Blvd. last night, a source said.


A hotel employee said that Morales was indeed scheduled to come in last night.

                    [Summary] => 



Erik Morales has taken the first step in preparation for his Nov. 18 battle with Manny Pacquiao.


According to an Internet report quoting the Mexican media, Morales flew from Tijuana to Los Angeles yesterday for a stringent four-week weight-reduction program.


Morales should be weighing around 150 lbs by this time, meaning he has just enough time to trim down before he plunges into serious training by September.

"I really think it was against his will to say that he’s now ready to fight me. He’s just looking for some attention," said Pacquiao, barely 24 hours after he returned from a vacation in Hong Kong where he spent four days with his family and close friends.
