Seven-division titlist, Manny Pacquiao, of the Philippines, will be featured in an upcoming segment of 60 minutes, Top Rank publicist, Lee Samuels, told FanHouse on Sunday.
Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 knockouts), who already has graced the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine, earned his current WBO welterweight (147 pounds) title with November's 12th-round knockout of Miguel Cotto, and will defend it on March 13 at The Dallas Cowboys' Stadium in Arlington, Tex., against Joshua Clottey (35-3, 20 KOs).
"Their crews will be with him throughout the days leading up to the fight, and they will be at the fight and have full access during the fight and after the fight," said Samuels. "They're hopes were that they are planning to release the segment sometime before his next fight, so they're talking about it airing in September."
A former 1996 Olympian, the 34-year-old, Puerto Rican-born Eric Morel won the WBA flyweight (112 pounds) in August of 2000 by unanimous decision over Sornpichai Kratingdaenggym, defended that crown five times -- twice by knockout-- and lost it in December of 2003 by unanimous decision to Lorenzo Parra.
In March of 2005, Morel lost his bid for the WBA's super flyweight (115 pounds) title by unanimous decision to Martin Castillo, and was subsequently convicted and imprisoned for three years for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.
Nicknamed "Little Hands Of Steel," Morel returned to the ring with an eight-round, unanimous decision over Felipe Almanza, one of his six, consecutive victories -- three of them by knockout -- heading into Saturday night's interim WBO bantamweight (118-pound) title clash with 37-year-old, southpaw, former two-time world titlist, Gerry Peñalosa (54-7-2, 36 KOs), of the Philippines at the Las Vegas Hilton.
Morel-Peñalosa is part of Top Rank promotions' pay per view, Latin Fury/Pinoy Power III event also featuring 30-year-old Fernando Montiel (39-3-1, 29 KOs), of Los Mochis, Mex., defending his WBO bantamweight crown against Ciso Morales (14-0, eight KOs) of Bohol, Philippines, and 27-year-old Nonito Donaire (22-1, 14 KOs), of the Philippines, putting his WBA interim super flyweight title on the line against Gerson Guerrero (34-8, 26 KOs) of Mexico.
Once considered among the sport's best fighters, pound-for-pound, Morel spoke to FanHouse about his second shot at redemption and glory in this Q&A.
