Manny Pacquiao has declared that he is ready to step into the ring with Floyd Mayweather Jr next year.
The Filipino said that he is "100% ready" for a showdown with his rival, but claims it is up to the American to arrange the bout.
"I hope that fight will happen by next year," Pacquiao said. "I am 100% willing to fight him," he told ESPN.
"I already announced that on ESPN, on the radio stations, in every interview, I have said that already. He can suggest all the rules and regulations in boxing when we fight together.
"I have nothing to do, it is his job if it is okay or not. It is up to him."
Pacquiao, who has agreed to a 55-45 split in Mayweather's favour, takes on Juan Manuel Marquez for a fourth time this weekend.
