Pacquiao said the choice for his next fight was up to his promoter, Bob Arum. However, he spoke about the strong possibility of another match with Marquez.

"That’s what Bob Arum said and he'll talk with Marquez camp and we'll talk about the fourth fight," the Filipino congressman and fighter said.

When asked about a fight with Mayweather, Pacquiao seemed to change his mind since making his promotional appearances last week.

“I don't know what's the reason, but I'm ready to fight him,” Pacquiao said in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel last week.

This week, Pacquiao is saying the fight would be up to his promoter.

"I really don't know but it depends on my promoter. I'm not choosing my opponent next time whatever Bob Arum gives to me I will accept that,” Pacquiao said after the fight. “Right now I'm going back to the Philippines and doing some work in the office.”

Rumor is floyd mayweather and sergio martinez are going to fight in February. Sergio Martinez said out his own mouth the fight is almost finalized. Mayweather didn't say who he was going to fight but he did say he was going to give the people what they wanted.

So what if JMM doesn't want to fight Pacquiao? Team Pacquiao said they want JMM4 in May and if, JMM doesn't want fight Pacquiao anymore.... who is there to fight? LMFAO!!!

Tony-Here are the after Marquez vs Manny 3 Manny fans. I already said that Mayweather would beat Manny, I just wish the fight would've happened sooner. LOL.. But 2 years ago when I was saying Mayweather could stop Manny in the late rounds, I was a dickrider that knew nothing about boxing. But I still love the Manny fans.

Said this about a month ago Mayweather is going to fight Martinez. Top Rank is not going to put Manny in the ring with Floyd. Martinez, Canelo, Kirkland, Berto- if he beats Ortiz, and Khan are in the plans, if Manny don't want to come out and play.

You know, something like that could actually work perfect for pacquiao. If floyd fights in Feb, that gives pac the oppurtinity to either rematch marquez or take some sort of tune up fight around the same time. Assuming they both win, fight later in the year such as May or in the summer.

I think team Pac are lighweight freaking out things didn't go so perfectly and probably wanting him to get another fight in as soon as possible before floyd. That's what I'm thinking anyways.

I don't think anyone on team pac from roach down to manny are pleased with the performance

Im not sure exactly what you mean by Marquez don't/wouldn't want to fight Manny again? He has already proved who the true CHAMP is... The only reason would be is because he's 38 and there's no way he'll get the judges to call it the way it is!

Manny being champ = asain fans= $$$
Manny losing (like he did) = no asain fans= no $$

that's BS logic though. Manny lost to Eric Morales and he was just as popular as he was prior.

This isn't mayweather were talking about. If a fighter like Pacquiao, or Cotto, or Marquez or Oscar, or whomever loses, that doesn't mean they aren't still stars.

Over 17,000 tickets have been sold to watch Cotto vs Margarito II. What does that tell you? Cotto got beat down twice Margarito twice. Lots of $$$$ still there.

Besides this is the tail end of manny's career, he's done by 2013. He's got 2-3 more fights left tops. If he lost to marquez, Pacquiao vs Mayweather would still do astronomical numbers.

Tommy Hearns lost to Sugar Ray Leonard via TKO round 14 but the biggest fight since ever was Marvin Hagler vs Tommy Hearns shortly after that loss. You don't lose a close fight and suddenly lose all your fans. Pacquiao has 3 losses and two draws, they don't watch him cuz he's undefeated.

What more can Floyd do bruh?

Team Floyd, Oscar, Floyd himself said they want Pacquiao (next) and this was before the 3rd fight between JMM. Fans said Floyd was doing it to "distract" Manny, but I thought he did it to place himself, 1st in line, before they negotiate with someone else and line another opponent up!

Come on Marquez, say no, 1 win and a 4th fight against Pacquiao doesn't do anything for your career! Step aside so Pacquiao will be forced to fight Floyd (now that he's agreed to take the test)
