Marquez vs. Pacquaio out, Bradley vs. Marquez in?

After months of negotiation between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, it seems that we won't be seeing the two fight it out in the ring this year. Rumor has it that Marquez's asking price for the bout is $20 Million. Negotiations has failed and Marquez is now in talks with another who fighter who has beaten Pacquiao via a controversial split decision, Timothy Bradley.

Aside from Bradley, Marquez is also interested in fighting the interim World Boxing Organization (WBO) light welterweight champion Mike Alvarado. Marquez however is more interested in fighting Bradley since he has the opportunity to win another title in a fifth division.

Marquez won his last match with flying colors as he surprised the whole boxing world with his 6th round knockout against Manny Pacquaio. Bradley has won his last match against Ruslan Provodnikov via unanimous decision. 

So who are you betting on? I would go for Marquez who despite his age while compensate with his experience. He is the only fighter who has knock Manny Pacquaio in years. I think a lot of people would agree that Manny was the victor in his match against Bradley. With the amount of damage that Manny has inflicted and the fact that Bradley was on a wheel chair after a post-match interview says a lot. I just don't know what happen with the judges though.

There are rumors circulating that Pacquiao is interested in matching up with Mike Alvarado this coming October in Macau.Who knows. Maybe the winner of each match would face each other next. So I guess we will have to wait if there would be a fifth Pacquaio Marquez match.
