Bob Arum suggests that Manny Pacquiao is likely to face Juan Manuel Marquez for a fifth time in his next fight.

Manny Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum has hinted that the Filipino fighter will opt to fight Juan Manuel Marquez again, rather than face Floyd Mayweather Jr.

After a draw and two controversial wins for Pacquiao, Marquez finally beat his rival, knocking him out with an overhand right in the sixth round of their December 9 bout.

Arum has suggested that a fifth fight with Marquez is the preferred option, and also conceded that a fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather may never happen.

"I think we're going to do another fight with Juan Manuel Marquez," Arum told TMZ. "That was a great fight.

"[Pacquiao] ran into a really good right hand, we'll see what happens next time."

When asked whether Pacquiao could fight Mayweather before he retires, Arum replied: "Probably not, but life goes on."

Pacquiao has now lost two fights in a row, after a controversial split decision loss to Timothy Bradley in June.
