Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum has hinted that the Filipino fighter will opt to fight Juan Manuel Marquez again rather than face Floyd Mayweather Jr, according to Sports Mole.
After a draw and and two controversial wins for Pacquiao, Marquez finally beat his rival, knocking him out with an overhand right in the sixth round of their 9th December bout. Arum has suggested that a fifth fight with Marquez is the preferred option, and also conceded that a fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather may never happen. “I think we’re going to do another fight with Juan Manuel Marquez,” said Arum. “That was a great fight.”
