HOLLYWOOD – In as much as he’s amenable to a fourth meeting with Juan Manuel Marquez, Manny Pacquiao appears more inclined of giving boxing fans the fight they’ve long been craving for.

Are you listening Floyd Mayweather Jr?

“Let’s make this happen on May 5,” said the world’s top pound-for-pound fighter today responding to HBO color commentator Max Kellerman’s question about finally making the lucrative showdown with Floyd Jr. happen by the middle of 2012.

“Let’s give the people a good fight. Let’s get it on.”

The Mayweather camp earlier announced the unbeaten 34-year-old American is set for a May 5 ring return and made major hints that it could be the fight the world wants to see.

“We’re looking to make the biggest fight possible and everyone knows what that fight is – the little fella,” said Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe over ESPN.

Top Rank Promotions chairman Bob Arum already bared that the `little fella’ being referred to is Mexican Erik Morales, a disclosure the Mayweather camp neither confirmed nor denied.

But Pacquiao’s statement marked the first time that he came out in public and declared he’s willingness to face Mayweather in a match many believe would go down as the biggest and richest in the history of prizefighting.

The drug testing issue that had been the main contention why two previous negotiations for a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight had bogged down has yet to be settled, although the matter is no longer expected to be a hindrance once talks resumes about making the fight.

In the aftermath of Pacquiao’s  narrow win over Marquez this weekend for the welterweight championship of the world, Arum said he’s looking forward of having a fourth fight between the Filipino and Mexican rivals by May of next year.

“If the fighters are willing (for a rematch), the promoter is willing,” said Arum of a Pacquiao-Marquez IV. “One way of getting out of the hook is to make the fight.”

“Yes, I wanna give him (Marquez) a rematch,” said the `Pacman.’

But all that will have to take the backseat if and when the biggest fight in boxing’s history comes into the picture.

As of the moment, Pacquiao adviser Michael Konz said nothing is definite yet about the reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion’s calendar for 2012.

“We haven’t discussed anything yet. The future still holds,” said Konz.

Together with wife Jinkee, Pacquiao stayed one more day in Las Vegas after the fight and is scheduled to return to Los Angeles today (Tuesday, Manila time).

He’s expected to shoot a commercial ad for Hennessy liquor during his stay here, before flying home to Manila on either Wednesday or Thursday.
