Manny Pacquiao will meet with trainer Fredddie Roach and promoter Bob Arum in two weeks for his 32nd birthday party and ponder a trio of possible future foes who are not Floyd Mayweather Jnr.

Arum said that the Filipino superstar will fight next on April 16 at Las Vegas, his first bout there since November of last year, against a foe to be determined.

Fans have longed to see Pacquiao, 52-3 with two drawn and 38 knockouts, in a showdown with unbeaten American Mayweather, 41-0 with 25 knockouts. But the US boxer faces a January arraignment over a dispute with an ex-girlfriend.

With a Mayweather deal unlikely, Arum said Pacquiao will decide if he wants to fight Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez for a third time or face either US veteran Shane Mosley or unbeaten welterweight Andre Berto.

“Pac-Man”, Roach and Arum will gather in the Philippines for Pacquiao’s birthday bash on December 17 and consider the matter, with the fighter having the final say.

For his part, Arum would like the name recognition value offered by a fight against Mosley, 46-6 with one draw and 39 knockouts.

But Mosley, 39, was overwhelmed by Mayweather in a unanimous decision loss last May and struggled to a draw against countryman Sergio Mora last September.
