WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao returned back home to the Philippines after vacationing with his family in the United States and Mexico. Upon his return, Pacquiao told reporters that he was ready to fight anyone in November, whether it's Floyd Mayweather Jr. or a rematch with Miguel Cotto, who recently won the WBA junior middleweight title.
Pacquiao even mentioned a rematch with Ricky Hatton, which drew laughter from reporters. The Filipino champion himself began laughing to let everyone knew that he was joking around. The date of November 13 has been set aside by Top Rank for Pacquiao's next fight.
"There's negotiations ongoing with Mayweather, and Cotto also said that he wants a rematch," Pacquiao said to ABS-CBN News.
Cotto has asked for a rematch with Pacquiao, who might be tempted to move up for an eight divisional belt. If the Mayweather fight falls apart, Antonio Margarito is waiting in the background as the next in line to fight Pacquiao in November.
