What are the chances that Manny Pacquiao will fight Ruslan Provodnikov if he gets past Timothy Bradley?

It's either JMM or Provo.

TR's roster is shallow at that weight and their matchups are starting to be too recycled and non-intriguing.

Pac vs Provodnikov is actually a good matchup. Problem is that Ruslan doesn't have much of a public image, and nobody besides us really knows how much of a beast he is.

The chances are that Ruslan will lose before he can fight Pacquiao later this year. The WBO made Marquez mandatory for Ruslan's belt at 140, Marquez don't sound overly keen but he will probably take it eventually some time in the summer to keep him active for the Pacquiao Bradley winner later in the year.

If Provodnikov can beat someone the caliber of Marquez in his next fight then no doubt there is a big chance he will fight Pacquiao later.

Very good. If Bob tells him to fight Provodnikov, he'll fight Provodnikov. If Bob tells him to fight Santa Clause, he'll fight Santa Clause. Since Bob doesn't have many other fighters besides Pacquiao and Bradley, it's possible that a Pacquiao vs Provodnikov fight could happen.

Roach said that Provodnikov doesn't want to fight Pacquiao. I think the winner of Pacquiao vs Bradley will fight Marquez.

almost 100% because Top Rank has bum roster at Welterweight, except for Bradley and Pacquiao. Provodnikov sucks, but there are no options for Pacquiao.

Since JMM offered to fight the winner of the Pac-Bradley match, NONE whatsoever. Pac will prefer to get back at JMM guaranteed!

It'll be JMM 5 for Pac and Provo rematch for Bradley. And I believe both JMM and Bradley's careers will be over after that round of fights.

A decent chance since Arum doesn't have many top names in thay range of weight classes.

Possible. But Provo doesn't want to fight Pac.

i see jmm or a rubber match (even though paq won)

none yet..
