LAS VEGAS--Filipino boxer Bernabe Concepcion will either fight on the big stage, or find himself with no fight at all under the klieg lights of the world's gambling capital.

This after it was learned today that Concepcion, who is supposed to battle undefeated Mexican Joksan Hernandez on Thursday, will not be fighting, and instead will be included in this Saturday's big event featuring Manny Pacquiao versus Erik Morales.

Everything is not set in stone though, as Filipino promoter Rex 'Wakee' Salud, who has strong ties with Bob Arum, also said at today's press conference that Concepcion's inclusion in the 'Grand Finale' card is 'not yet final.'
