It was only viewed once, then it was removed.

This would be the message you will get when you try watching the video:

“This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Top Rank, Inc. because its content was used without permission”

See screenshot:

Take note that the example video above was ONLY a low-quality cellphone camera recording of a TV set showing the fight with cheering of the Filipino family in the background, but even this, YouTube found it a violation of Top Rank. Inc.’s copyright.

Another recently uploaded video, also a family room recording. See screenshot:

It can still be viewed, but it has already been flagged. The link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgcoPPdpvlo

What does this mean to those looking for a free video of the Manny Pacquiao - Erik Morales Part III fight on YouTube? Are you hoping to see an actual cable TV recording from the HBO pay per view on YouTube, and not just somebody capturing his/her television screen?

You might have to look somewhere else. Because at this time when footage of the fight is hot commercial property, there is no hope of ever finding it at YouTube. You may have to wait for the DVD release from Top Tank Inc. or HBO, or until they make enough money from Manny Pacquiao, before the video can be on YouTube.
