ok, a news article written by pac himself just came out entitled "Hindi Ako Takot Kay Marquez" *(I'm not afraid of Marquez). in it he says:

"Bakit naman ako maduwag? Mula na maging boxer ako, wala akong inurungang laban, kahit sino basta katimbang lang, fight ako. I am a boxer and my job is to fight. (Why would I be afraid? Ever since I became a boxer I never backed away from any fight, I'll fight anybody as long as the weight is the same. I'm a boxer and my job is to fight.)

‘Yun kay Marquez darating tayo diyan, inaayos lang ang mga bagay-bagay para matuloy ang rematch namin. Kaya nga may negotiation para maisaayos ang lahat. (Regarding Marquez, we'll get there, everything is just being negotiated so that the fight will push through.)

Hindi ba mas maganda rin na kapag naglaban kami na pareho kaming champion?" (Isn't it better that we're both champions when we face each other?)

so, that's it folks. even without the formal announcement, in most probability diaz would be it. manny will try to take his belt first so that both him and JMM are champions for the rematch.
