LAS VEGAS – Promoter Bob Arum said on Thursday that the Pacquiao-Mosley welterweight title fight has “a rematch clause” in place assuming the Filipino suffers an upset loss.

“The rematch has to be done within six months (from May 7),” bared Arum.

The rematch clause only applies to Pacquiao and should he disposes Mosley, he will have no other recourse but to look forward to his next fight, possibly against Mexican archrival Juan Manuel Marquez.

“We’re holding that date and we’re going to bring that fight back here in Las Vegas and we’re looking at Juan Manuel Marquez as the opponent,” said Arum.

Of course, everyone wants a fight between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather to take place. But considering Mayweather’s countless legal troubles, it is remote that he will get to face Pacquiao anytime this year.

Obviously, Marquez is the next best choice since he had two memorable battles with Pacquiao at featherweight (126 lbs) in May 2004 and at super-featherweight (130 lbs) in March 2008.

In the first fight, Pacquiao and Marquez battled to a 12-round split draw, while in the rematch, Pacquiao escaped with a 12-round split decision.

“He (Marquez) is my first choice and I concentrate on him and, if for some reason he is not available, then we’ll look at somebody like Timothy Bradley or some of the younger guys,” added Arum.

Even Pacquiao views Marquez as a more attractive foe assuming he gets past Mosley Saturday.

150lbs request ni MP kay Martinez di pa sya sinasagot. Malaking bagay yung mawawala kay Martinez sa 150, what more on 149?

Mayweather or no one else.

Manny, save your energy to knock that motherf*cker out.

Medyo mahihirapan si Manny sa fight na yan, but still Manny still have high chances of winning, si Manny yan eh.

Kung si Martinez kakalabanin nia this year na dapat, hindi bumabata si Manny.

IMO Mayweather nalang talaga ang dapat kalabanin ni Manny.

nakow kalimutan na yang si mayweather.. matuloy man yang laban na yan.. boring lang din yan.. at hindi naman makikipagsabayan yang si mayweather at ayaw din ma knockout yan.. malamang tatakbo lang nang tatakbo yan...

tsaka ang #2 pound for pound eh si Martinez na.. so mas magandang laban yan..

naka sched si Margarito vs Cotto on Sept. 17.. magandang laban din yun..

High Risk yun sir. Either Welterweight or Super Welterweight. Imagine si Pacman is comfortable weighing to 145-147lbs while Sergio Martinez is 160 lbs in Middleweight. If they will fight, at what weight and title?

**tsupermario** · May 9th, 2011 04:58 PM

the problem with sergio martinez, aside from the weight issue, is the fact that he lost to a fighter who pacman already defeated: antonio margarito

so its either mayweather, timothy bradley or marquez. bradley is rumored to be fighting amir khan. pac could fight victor ortiz but he is under golden boy. arum will not make that fight.
