Manny Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, said Monday the Filipino superstar would prefer his next bout to be a fourth fight against Juan Manuel Marquez rather than a super-fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Fuck off Bob Arum
KevinMcAllister - <p>Fuck off Bob Arum</p>
^^^Beat me to it.
Damnit, Manny.
I just want to see the PBF/Pac fight already.
Kind of hoping Marquez turns it down, considering he has to fight Manny and the 3 judges in one night. It's not good for his career.
You guys still think that Mayweather was the only one to blame for this fight not happening. Arum knows that once Floyd shuts out Manny, the gravy train is over.

This is BEAUTIFUL!!!! They ducked him for two years and he even though he has an off night, he still beats one of the top P4P fighters in the world, they now want to fight him.....
And Arum and Pac turn around and say FUCK YOU !!!!
lol beautiful.....Pac is learning straight from PBF!!!!
Touche!
Now Pac is fucking ducking Floyd????? FUCK!!!!
who gives a shit about another jmm fight... the 3rd one wasnt even necessary.
Good! I would rather not see Floyd get the enormous payday. JMM deserves the golden parachute as he prepares to sail off intoo the sunset. Besides, these fights are not dull no matter how many times they go at it.
Manny knows he should have lost that fight.
MMALOGIC - who gives a shit about another jmm fight... the 3rd one wasnt even necessary.
WHAT??? How was it NOT necessary?
AGJ - This is BEAUTIFUL!!!! They ducked him for two years and he even though he has an off night, he still beats one of the top P4P fighters in the world, they now want to fight him.....

LOL @ anybody who actually thinks that Arum was going to let Pac fight Mayweather two years ago.
And another LOL @ Pac having an "off night" against Marquez. Funny how he's had "off nights" against the same dude in three different weight classes over a period of seven years. Marquez presents a huge stylistic problem for Manny, and Mayweather can do everything that Dinamita can several times better.
Manny wants to settle some obviously unfinished business (judging from the outrage on here Sat. night) and isn't going for the super payout which 99% of fighters would do, and gets criticized for it?
You just can't win on here.

What? Who else is Marquez going to fight for bigger money than Pacquiao? I'd say a 4th fight with Pacquiao would be incredible for his career.

So why were they in mediation with a third party? So in two pervious fights, Manny knocks him down 4 times. This fight he doesn't knock him down at all and it still able to push the fight. If you think he didn't have an off night compared to his other last fights then i can't help you pare

For monetary reasons, I'd suppose you're right. To be honest I've loved watching these two fight.
This last loss had him contemplating retirement though.

Don't even go there. Give credit to Marquez.

I'd say that there were no KDs because Marquez has been making the proper adjustments to his game based on his prior experience with Pac. He went from getting dropped three times in the first round of the first fight at 126 to once in the second fight at 130 to none in the last fight at 147. Marquez clearly won more rounds than Pac in the first two fights in spite of the KDs. Given the fact that the people who claim Pac won the third fight keep bringing up Compubox, I'll point out that Marquez also outperformed Pac in the those stats in the first two fights.
Like I said, it's a bit strange that he keeps having "off nights" against the same opponent.
