If Manny Pacquiao is able to beat WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, there are plenty of options out there. Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank told the New York Post that Manny has plenty of options - even without Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The fight everyone wants to see is Pacquiao-Mayweather but Arum doesn't think the two sides will be able to reach a financial agreement. If he can't reach a deal with Mayweather, there are three possible options out there for Manny. Arum said the first would be a rematch with Cotto, if the first fight is good enough. The second would be a unification fight with Shane Mosley, the WBA champion, but Mosley would have to beat WBC champion Andre Berto in their tentaive bout on January 30. The third option would be a trilogy bout Juan Manuel Marquez at 140-pounds. Pacquiao has a tentative date of March 13 for his 2010 debut.

"If [Cotto-Pacquiao] is a really good fight you do a rematch," Arum said. "Two, [Pacquiao] could fight Shane Mosley. Three, you could do a fight at 140 against Marquez.
