Should "Fighter of the Decade" Manny Pacquiao beat Juan Manuel Marquez in their fourth encounter at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on December he'll most probably fight the winner of this Saturday's war between junior welterweights Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios and Mike Alvarado.

Arum told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard in Los Angeles that a showdown between Pacquiao and the winner of the Rios-Alvarado battle "could be unbelievable."

He said the fight will be at 147 pounds and that Pacquiao who recently extended his contract with Arum to December 31,2014 told him that "he wanted to fight no later than the middle of April so he can come back (to the Philippines) for the elections" next May. [Click Here To Read More]

This is just sad. Not only does Arum ALWAYS line Pacs opponents up but now its ANOTHER blown up JWW.

Wow.

If not Mayweather in 2013, I want Pacquiao vs. Mathysse or Maidana!!! Worthy of FOTY!

Relax people, Bob Arum is doing the job of a boxing promoter. Hyping up a fight between two of his guys; saying that the winner is a viable opponent for Pac to have the non-hardcore fans pay attention to it.

Notice how he came out with this BEFORE the fight happened...

I called this in 2010 too. I was like, if Rios can stay undefeated long enough he'll get a Pacquiao fight

That goes for any TR fighter from 118 to heavyweight. Arum will find a way to get a Pac fight. Shameless.
