Marquez has been frustrated by the inability of promoters to make a Pacquiao fight. He once paid a visit to the Philippines to urge Pacquiao to fight him. Talks occurred early this year when the first attempt to make Pacquiao-Mayweather failed.
"They turned it down, asking for a 50-50 split and drug testing," Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said. "And right after they fought for the second time, Manny had his eyes on bigger fights, which was the right move. The idea that he's ever ducked Marquez is ridiculous."
Arum has said Marquez or Shane Mosley would be the top alternatives for Pacquiao should Mayweather remain cool to a super-fight.
Marquez's case would be boosted by an impressive showing against Katsidis.

You act tough when Cotto and Margarito got only 30% of the share.
