    Manny Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, said Monday the Filipino superstar would prefer his next bout to be a fourth fight against Juan Manuel Marquez rather than a super-fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    "That fight [against Mayweather] can still be there for us" a year from now, Arum told The Times.
    Pacquiao, the promoter said, feels that his controversial, majority decision over Marquez on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas "did not have the finish he wanted," and justifies a fourth fight between the combatants.
    Pacquiao, 32, and Marquez, 38, previously fought to a draw in 2004 and a split decision won by Pacquiao in 2008.
    Marquez said he was so frustated by the judging of his impressive showing Saturday that he was pondering retirement.
    Arum doesn't believe Marquez will retire with the promise of more riches in addition to his payout from Saturday's fight, which could reach $10 million based on estimates of a large pay-per-view audience.
    As for Mayweather, Arum said it's his understanding that the unbeaten world welterweight champion has secured the MGM Grand for a early May date.
    So Arum said he would stage Pacquiao-Marquez IV in April or June, either at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas or a specially constructed outdoor venue paid for by "the other casinos" in Las Vegas.
    "Like we did in the old days, at Caesars Palace," Arum said. "Awesome."
    For his fight, Mayweather would select from a field likely to include Amir Khan, Andre Berto, Sergio Martinez, Robert Guerrero or the unbeaten Tim Bradley.

    Translation:

    Bob Arum, the slimy lawyer turned promoter wants another fat paycheck before he has to get on his knees before the great Floyd Mayweather.

    Fck Pacquiao. He doesn't deserve another shot at the title. He's already lost three times.

    I agree! JMM deserves it and I'm sure he's hella confident in winning the 4th go round.

    There shouldn't be a fourth fight. Manny should fight Floyd next.

    No 4th fight. I wouldn't pay for it and I doubt it would have the same selling power that the rubber match had. A lot of folks were turned off by the judges decision.

    :rofl relax...all close fights. And this was the only fight I think Pac came up short in. The first fight was a contraversial draw and the rematch was a SD for Pac. Last Saturday should have went to Juan in my.opinion but it was VERY close yet again.

    **** Pacquiao. I guess he's not satisfied with Marquez getting robbed, now he wants to rob the fans too.

    Put the quote in bold and use size 5-6 so that it can stand out.
