Earlier today it was reported that Pacquiao had informed his manager that fighting Mayweather was a priority.

“I am meeting with my promoter, Bob Arum, and I will insist that the fight with Mayweather be given the preference than the four others in the list I will fight next,” Pacquiao said according to USA Today.
