Pacquiao eyes another Marquez fight, report
LOS ANGELES, California: Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao is in talks for a fourth fight against rival Juan Manuel Marquez, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
The Times, citing sources close to the ongoing negotiations, said Pacquiao's next fight will be December 8 in Las Vegas and Marquez is a likely opponent.
Pacquiao (54-4-2, 38 KOs) was also in negotiations for a rematch against Tim Bradley but that fell through and he is now considering Marquez.
Pacquiao defeated Mexico's Marquez in a majority decision in November, the latest in a string of hotly-contested close fights between the warriors.
The Times said boxing promoter Bob Arum plans to have each fighter sign the deal Tuesday in Los Angeles when they appear for a news conference.
