Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales III, billed as The Grand Finale, was a super featherweight boxing match. The bout took place on November 18, 2006 at the Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States and was distributed by HBO PPV.[1] [2] The bout is the last of the Pacquiao-Morales trilogy,[3] widely considered one of the greatest boxing trilogies of all time.[4] [5] [6] The fight also marked a return to HBO for Pacquiao, and the first fight in his four-year contract with Top Rank as his promoter.[7]
Similar to the second fight, Pacquiao entirely dominated the fight, scoring a total of three knockdowns to knock out Morales in the third round.[8]
The winner of the fight was supposed to become the mandatory challenger of WBC super featherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera, but it was cancelled due to a legal dispute between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions.[9]
