Golden Boy Promotions' Richard Schafer, who promotes Juan Manuel Marquez, said he's serious about trying to get Marquez a fight with Grand Rapids native Floyd Mayweather.
"It's obvious (Manny) Pacquiao is running from him, so he has his sights set on Mayweather, who he considers the best pound-for-pound fighter," Schafer told ESPN.com's Dan Rafael. "He said if Mayweather is serious about fighting, he should come out of hiding and let's fight."
Marquez already has fought Pacquiao twice. And Pacquiao has his own mega fight coming up May 2 against Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas.
Schaefer also said he had a preliminary conversation with one of Mayweather's advisers, Al Haymon, about a Mayweather-Marquez fight this week.
"I started having a conversation with Al (after) the Houston fight," Schaefer said. "He said, 'Let's see if this is something we can put together.' So I'm going to see if we can put that fight together. I will try to get it done."
Floyd Mayweather Sr., who currently is training Hatton, has maintained all along that his son would fight again.
"Of course, there is no question about it," Mayweather Sr. said. "He's trying to get a fight right now
