Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says a rematch between former WBC super featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez and Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera is possible.
That?s because Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao who won a close split decision over Marquez last March 15 at the Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is not prepared top give the Mexican another shot at him, at least for the time being.
However, both Pacquiao and promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank haven?t ruled out a third fight sometime later.
Schaefer informed Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today that ?another possibility might be that he (Marquez) fights Nate Campbell.?
The 36 year old Campbell is the reigning IBF, WBA and WBO lightweight champion with a record of 32-5-1 with 25 knockouts. He won the title with a split decision over Juan Diaz in Cancun, Mexico last March 8.
Promoter Arum had also previously mentioned the possibility of a Pacquiao-Campbell title fight later this year assuming Pacquiao wins against WBC lightweight champion David Diaz on June 28 at the Mandalay Bay.
Barrera has also been talking about the possibility of a third fight with Pacquiao although he was demolished in their first clash in November 2003 when he lost by an eleventh round TKO and then dropped a lopsided unanimous twelve round decision in a rematch last October.
