Eric Morales says he would be happy to fight featherweight rival Marco Antonio Barrera for a third time.

But Morales, who won the WBC featherweight crown with a unanimous decision against Paulie Ayala on Saturday, said he would only take on Barrera again if the price was right.

"If [TV company] HBO wants a third fight and pays me enough money there will be a third fight," said Morales.

Morales and Barrera have fought each other twice in the past.

Both bouts were classic encounters that were decided on points, with each boxer claiming a victory.

Morales could also meet Naseem Hamed, who has only fought once since he was beaten by Barrera in April 2001.
