Coming off of a successful outing against Brandon Rios on Nov. 23, eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao is slated for an April return to the ring in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao’s unanimous decision victory over Rios last month in Macau, China proved that his heart is still very much in the game following his horrific knockout at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez a year ago.
A recent conversation with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum revealed that there are three names in the mix for Pacquiao’s April return; Marquez, Tim Bradley, and Ruslan Provodnikov.
Bradley won a controversial split-decision over Pacquiao in June of last year. Given the backlash that followed his victory, Richardson feels another close fight could spell bad news for the Palm Springs fighter.

Following a successful comeback performance against Brandon Rios on Nov. 23, Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao is slated for a ring return this April in Las Vegas, Nevada.
There were several question marks surrounding Pacquiao heading into the Rios clash, as his previous fight saw him stopped in horrific fashion by Juan Manuel Marquez, but he showed himself to be more than up to the task in winning a lopsided unanimous decision.
Speaking with Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum on Tuesday evening, he is certain the next opponent for the eight-division champion will be decided in the coming days.
“We’re going to decide before Christmas,” Arum explained. “We’ll [know] who he’s going to fight.”
Arum mentioned that the three names being tossed around are Marquez, Tim Bradley, and Ruslan Provodnikov.
Pacquiao has been in the ring with all three men, facing Marquez in four memorable encounters while dropping a split-decision to Bradley in June of last year. Pacquiao also has sparred several rounds with Provodnikov in recent years.
Asked what the appeal is of each fighter, Arum spoke logically.
“We’re talking to the pay per view people,” he stated. “Whatever makes the most sense.
“I don’t make appeals,” Arum added. “Whatever we decide, we’ll make an intelligent decision. And that’s who we’ll fight.”

On Saturday night, former lightweight champion Brandon Rios came up short against Manny Pacquiao.
For twelve frustrating rounds inside of the Venetian Resort’s Coati Arena, Pacquiao was simply too dynamic and sharp for Rios, as he used his movement and combination punching to nullify any kind of attack that the Kansas native attempted to bring.
Watching the fight from ringside, Rios’ stable mate and current WBO junior lightweight champion Mikey Garcia gave Pacquiao his deserved credit.

Moments ago, inside of the Venetian Resort’s Coati Arena in Macau, China, former eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao returned with a commanding victory over a game Brandon Rios.
The early rounds saw Pacquiao come out of the gates blazing with sharp punches from all angles. Rios seemed out of his element in the first round and ate his share of leather.
In rounds two and three, Rios had moments of success where he would tag Pacquiao with clubbing shots, but not enough to where he appeared to with either frame.
