of watching a rematch between Pacquiao and Bradley.
Earlier this week, Marquez spoke about the possibility of going head to head once again against Pacquiao. He said, “There's been discussion about me fighting in July, but maybe I'll fight with Manny on November 10. Beltran [Fernando Beltran, Marquez's promoter]
said that, but I need to wait for Bob Arum. If Bob Arum says that I'll fight with Manny on November 10, that would be great for me....Bob Arum [also] said Manny might want to fight me in Mexico. That would be a great thing for me [as well]. My people want
to see me fight Manny again, and I'd feel very happy to do it again.”
However, Michael Koncz, Pacquiao’s advisor, revealed that Team Pacquiao has not decided anything for sure yet and there are possibilities of the Pac-man facing Marquez or Cotto again. He added they Marquez is not the only option they have. Lastly, he said
that Pacquiao along with his camp is on vacations now and they will soon the Filipino’s next opponent in due time.
Marquez has already lost two of three fights against Pacquiao. Their first bout ended up in a tie but Pacquiao won the next two. Their last meeting in 2011 ended up in a split decision for Pacquiao, which soon became controversial. Since then, Marquez along
with his camp has been demanding a rematch against Pacquiao. Previously, there was no heed to Marquez’s demand from Pacquiao’s camp but now it seems like they are thinking of arranging an encounter with Marquez next.
