There will be a rematch with a Mexican, yes.
If Marquez?s promoters push for a Las Vegas venue, however, it won?t be against Juan Manuel Marquez. Instead, it will be against Marco Antonio Barrera.
Murad Muhammad of M&M Sports and Bob Arum of Top Rank Inc. said Thursday that they are willing to get Manny Pacquiao and Marquez back into the ring, adding that by the end of the week, ?some things will get settled.?
But Moy Lainez, senior member of Team Pacquiao, asserted that as long as Arum insists that the rematch take place in California or Nevada, Pacquiao may look for an alternative opponent.
And that alternative foe is Barrera.
Should Barrera defeat Paulie Ayala at the Home Depot Center in Carson City, California, on June 19, a Pacquiao-Barrera bout appears a bigger possibility than a Pacquiao-Marquez rematch.
