    3 Opponents lined up for Pacquiao,

    Timothy Bradley II -

    * Pacquiao lost by SD (Which Pacquiao did win but did not dominate & other boxing writers and fans Mostly had for Pacquiao.

    * This fight only did 700k PPVs.

    Rematch worthy?

    Juan Manuel Marquez 4 -

    * Pacquiao won by MD, SD & DRAW in their trilogies. (Very Close & competitive fight).

    * Did good in PPV Numbers which in the 3rd Fight they did about 1.2 - 1.3 million PPVs (Not Official). Does anyone know the Official Numbers in their 3rd Fight? But im sure it was over 1 million.

    Rematch worthy?

    Miguel Cotto II -

    * Pacquiao won by TKO in the 12th but the Fight was @ 145 pounds.

    * Did good PPV numbers which they did about 1.25 million PPVs.

    * Cotto Revived his career fighting @ 154, winning a title.

    * Lost his last fight with Mayweather Jr.

    Rematch worthy?

    It will be JMM IV.

    I doubt the others are even being considered.

    I think we can agree that Bradley is the one most of us wanna see....but are we willing to pay for it after that freak circus event that took place the first time? How about casuals, who make up the majority of PPV buys?

    Pac doesnt talk PPVs , his fans shouldnt either leave that to Floyd, it means nothing.

    Pac has proven that he will face JMM again and again, its always gonna be a tight fight between them

    Bradley fight was crap compared to JMM

    Cotto was a great fight but Pac has destroyed him already, he looks no different at 54 and has won nothing meaningful there, although it will be exciting and another beating will take place on cotto, more violent for sure

    But if its a competitive fight its JMM

    the other guys really need to mix it though

    throw Jmm in with Bradley or Bradley in with cotto

    Honestly, Even if Pac were to fight @ 154 again, First half of the fight will be competitive but Pacquiao will start to take over and has better stamina than Cotto. JMM will be a fight i don't mind watching... very competitive!

    I've seen Pac vs. JMM so many times I don't feel the need to buy it again. It will be close, people will ***** about the decision, and I will watch it on HBO and score it myself.

    I saw Pac vs. Bradley and am in no hurry to see it again. If Pac comes across like a man obsessed with revenge, I might buy it.

    I would love to see Cotto get another shot at Manny. Also, I think most viewers enjoyed the first one, know Cotto is rarely in a bad fight, and it would make the most money.

    Pacquiao should sit out the rest of the year and fight Mayweather in April. If not, his safest option is the Marquez fight, IMO.

    Bradley almost certainly beats him again as would Cotto @ 154lbs. Another loss and Pacquiao can forget the Mayweather payday.

    Manny is not fighing Cotto at 154lbs, so let's scratch that fight off the list. Bradley should be the next fight because Pacquiao officially lost to him, but considering Bradley is younger and hungrier, despite the controversial win. I don't think Manny really wants to risk a second time around with him. I mean lets be real, Bradley did take his belt, so why would he even consider another opponent other then the guy that just beat him? So that brings me to Marquez. These two men are made for one another, and together they generate major dollars. Pac knows what Marquez bring to the table and can handle it. Also Pac has the advantage because of the age factor. Marquez did a great job in there third fight, but father time have to catch up to him sometime. In that department Pac has the advantage, which is why Marquez vs Pacquiao 4 will happen quicker then the other two fights mention above.
