What's more, there are several intriguing fights out there for JMM at 135, 140 and possibly higher, given the strength of Saturday's performance.

Lets assume he doesn't see the point in a fourth Pacquiao fight. Lets also assume a second Mayweather clash doesn't appear on the horizon. Which of the following fights would you be most interested in seeing?
None of those fights though can make JMM the $ that a Pac fight makes him other than Mayweather. After last weekend, I bet he makes more $ in his next fight against Pacquiao than against anyone else. Rumors abound and you never know until HBO releases the official numbers, but the rumor is that the fight had 1.5M ppv's, which if true, makes it the most bought ppv since De La Hoya fought Mayweather. Right? In any event, irrespective of anything, he definitely has more leverage going into the 4th installment. The only other fight out of the ones you mention that makes financial sense is Cotto, but Cotto has a tough fight in December.

Marquez has a good angle too: Marquez: Ball is in My Court, 4th Pacquiao Fight in Mexico! - Boxing News
