Manny Pacquiao's promoter says that a fourth fight against Juan Manuel Marquez is more likely than a bout with Floyd Mayweather.

Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao are likely to contest a fourth career fight after the latter took a controversial points victory in Las Vegas last night.

The boxing world wants to see a super-fight between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jnr but the Filipino's promoter Bob Arum says another rematch with Marquez is more likely.

He said: "I'm bound and determined to have these two fight once and for all in a decisive fight. I had Manny winning this fight, some people - particularly Mexicans - had Marquez ahead.

"I'll speak to Manny and Juan Manuel, and maybe we'll do it again in May. It was great for boxing and if we do it again it's going to set all monetary records for pay-per-view."

In Vegas, sections of the sell-out crowd booed when the decision was announced but Pacquiao insists he deserved to retain the WBO welterweight title.

The 32-year-old told Primetime: "It's very clear that I won the fight. Marquez is a good fighter and he's a good counter-puncher.

"He hurt me a couple of times but I was very careful because he was waiting for my advances to counter them."
