    (CNN) -- Manny Pacquiao's promoter plans to make another attempt to set up the long-awaited boxing showdown with Floyd Mayweather Junior.

    The Filipino became the first fighter to win world titles in eight divisions on Saturday night after claiming the vacant WBC super-welterweight belt from Antonio Margarito in a brutal bout that left his opponent needing facial surgery.

    The 31-year-old is running out of new opponents following two failed attempts to seal a deal to fight Mayweather, who is his main rival for the title of the world's best pound-for-pound boxer.

    Mayweather last fought in May, beating Shane Mosley, but has since been embroiled in domestic violence claims by his former girlfriend and faces criminal charges in court in January.

    Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum told reporters after the Margarito fight in Arlington, Texas that his staff at the Top Rank organization would begin sounding out Mayweather about a fight next year.

    "I will have Todd Duboef place a call directly to Floyd. Todd will ask one question and one question only, and that is whether Floyd wants to fight Manny," Arum said in quotes carried by sports website FanHouse.

    "If Floyd's answer is yes about fighting Manny, then Todd will ask for Floyd's expressed permission to call his criminal lawyer. Todd will ask the lawyer if he can be sure if Floyd will be available, not on trial or otherwise occupied, on specific dates."

    Mayweather is represented by Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, but has been linked with legendary entrepreneur Don King.

    "If Todd gets a good answer from the lawyer, then Todd calls Floyd directly one more time," Arum said. "Todd will ask Floyd, 'Who is your chosen representative, who should we sit down with to put this fight together?'

    "We don't care who Floyd says, who he picks, be it Don King, Golden Boy or anyone else."

    Good sign, but I'm not interested unless they both sign.

    Saw this yesterday, don't get your hopes up.


    Mayweather said if a negotiator comes to his house he's going to poke him in the eye.

    I think we all know what the answer to this question will be.

    Let's start getting Pacquiao ready for the Williams-Martinez winner.

    i think pbf's legal problems will be a hindrance to the fight date unless the court makes an exception to postpone the hearing/trials..

    I know regular people who's lawers put off cases for 1-2 years, with postponing court days, without them even having to show up, in some cases these were homies out on bail for murder, it took them damn near six years to get R kelly in trial so those petty charges against Floyd will wait, he has millions and great lawywers i'm sure.

    Floyd won't fight Pacquiao. Period....he'll look to fight the winner of DLH vs Hatton if that fight gets made.

    Pacquiao said he isn't fighting again until June. With all the nonsense of before, don't get your hopes up either.

    I'll believe it when they are both training to fight each other. There won't be an answer to negotiations until next year anyways, so there is no point starting up this tired discussion again.

    I think I can speak for most boxing fans on this note: We are sick and tired about hearing about negotiations. Tell them to get in the ring and fight each other, or both of them can STFU.

    Tired of Mayweather running his mouth. Honestly, nobody cares what you say Floyd: Just get in the ring.

    Tired of Pacquiao fighting unworthy opponents. (Clottey, Margarito) First two Pacquiao fights I have not purchased in many years. I don't think I've not got a Manny fight since his days as a featherweight.
