    If you were Pac, who would you fight next: Marquez again or Mayweather?

    Who cares who won? The Win or loss doesn't matter. It's about who won the "drama". Marquez won the "drama" convincingly by doing exceptionally better than everyone expected. He made Pacquiao look human, and he should be commended for that. That's not the topic anymore.

    The topic now, is what should Pacquiao do? Who should he fight next? He lost face and control of the terms of his next bouts. His only choice to make is whether to fight Marquez again or Mayweather. Marquez demands Mexico and PBF has MGM on May 5th.

    If you were Pacquiao, would you fight Marquez again and potentially lose out on the finances from the megafight just to settle the rivalry once and for all? Or would you rather fight Mayweather, get the financial reward, but risk Marquez retiring and being , able to forever say, "you never beat me" until the day they die. I think that would eat at Pacquiao more than not fighting Mayweather. I think PAc is too emotionally invested in beating Marquez decisively cause of the t-shirts and uncertainty of their fights.

    Unless Manny beats Marquez convincingly he does not gain a lot as far as leverage is concerned re a Mayweather fight. If Marquez messes Manny up again the interest in a Manny/Floyd fight won't be that great and the money won't be as huge as it could be. Right now the potential numbers on a Manny/Floyd fight must have declined due to the latest Marquez fight.
    I think Manny should have a tune up to get some confidence back and get people believing in him again then go for a Floyd fight.

        If I was Pacquaio, I would fight Marquez again because Mayweather stops Pacquaio with 10 rounds. Easy work.

          A tune up , are you serious lol , after 50 odd fights because of a dodgy win against a 39 yr old JMM , the guy Floyd owned while in 2nd gear after a 2 yr lay off ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

          After all the history of the last 3 yrs If Manny dont fight Floyd next he is the Ducker of The decade and nothing but a hype job .

          Its time for Manny to step up into a real fighter without all of Mannys special advantages he puts onto opponents , he is so scared of fair fight when it comes he ducks it .

            From a legend perspective. He fights floyd first and then if he wins he fights marquez one last time, then retires but that **** isnt happening.

              I would get rid of the entourage. Fight Mayweather. If I win, I retire. If I lose, I may take maybe another fight and retire.

                he needs to beat marquez convincingly before even trying mayweather, who right now UD's his ass..
                I think they'll give him some meat to chew on first to boost confidence though; Ortiz, Bradley maybe??

                  honestly i want to see the floyd fight rite now. but if i was manny i wouldnt fight him now. mannys confidence is certainly shot. i kno he knos that floyd is a whole level more difficult than what he experienced last fight. i dont think his mind is ready.

                  with that said, who cares? fight floyd, lose n go home and become a president or whatever it is u do.

                    If I was Pac, JMM.

                    But as a boxing fan, Floyd.
