FIGHTER of the Decade Manny Pacquiao and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum have both confirmed the Manila Standard Today exclusive that the Filipino ring icon will fight Juan Manuel Marquez in November and not go for a rematch with Timothy Bradley, whose split decision victory last Saturday was met with international outrage.
Pacquiao initially indicated he wanted a rematch with Bradley, but later on told a Spanish TV network that he would prefer to battle Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez a fourth time, possibly even in Mexico.
Arum said that while there is a rematch clause in the Bradley contract, it’s up to Pacquiao to decide who he wants to fight next. But he added that since he thinks the Filipino beat Bradley easily and won a hugely controversial majority decision in his third fight with Marquez, he believes Pacquiao will take on the Mexican one more time.
