Pacquiao vs Marquez V Still The "Marketable" Fight, But Juan Manuel Marquez Wants Rematch With Timothy Bradley

Top Rank CEO is set to arrange the next series of big fights in his stable after the highly-anticipated showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Brandon Rios on Nov. 24th in Macau.

In an interview with Boxingscene, Arum said that the result of the Pacquiao vs Rios bout will give a clear picture on the next fights that they will arrange, considering the results of previous fights -- the result of the Timothy Bradley-Juan Manuel Marquez bout and the Ruslan Provodnikov-Mike Alvarado showdown.

"This is the last of the three fights - Manny vs. Rios -- and a lot of it depends on who the winner of this fight will be.  There are some fantastic matches that can be made next year with these fighters.  Manny has unfinished business with Tim Bradley and that might be a good option if he beats Rios.  If Rios wins, Ruslan Provodnikov or Bradley would be good opponents," Arum said.

The famed promoter revealed that Pacquiao could be pitted against Provodnikov if he beats Rios, but he pointed out that the fifth fight between Pacquiao and Marquez is still the most marketable bout.

"Provodnikov versus Manny, if Manny wins, would be an intriguing kind of fight.  And of course there is a revenge match-up between Manny, if Manny wins, and Juan Manuel Marquez, which would be very sellable with the Mexican-Americans - that are still heavily in Marquez's corner - that would like to see that fight again.  So let's see how this fight goes on November 23rd and then I'm sure everyone will sit down and we'll work out who Manny and Brandon will fight next," Arum said.

However, Marquez remained firm on his stance against the proposed Pacquiao vs Marquez 5, as the Mexican pointed out that he is looking for a rematch against Bradley.

"I'm sad for what happened in my last fight, because I needed to win. I was more focused and stronger, but as I look to the future....what motivates me is a rematch with Bradley. Nothing else could take place if I don't carry out this fight. I have to settle this issue with Timothy Bradley, as long as he accepts a rematch," Marquez said in a separate interview with Boxingscene.
