Pacquiao-Marquez III

Michael Koncz, the business adviser of Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, has confirmed that a rematch clause is included in the contract of Pacquiao's trilogy bout against Juan Manuel Marquez.

"How unintelligent would it be, if we did not include a rematch clause just in case of some freak accident?" Koncz told RingTV.com.

Koncz explained that a rematch clause was included in the contract to protect Pacquiao, "just in case some freak things happen in the fight."

He cited the recent Floyd Mayweather-Victor Ortiz bout, wherein Mayweather controversially knocked out Ortiz in the fourth round.

"They (Team Ortiz) made a mistake against Mayweather by not putting a rematch clause there," Koncz said.

But Koncz clarified the rematch clause does not mean they are worried about the result of the November 12 fight.

"It has nothing to do with any doubt as to whether or not we think Manny’s going to win. It's just smart. It's just good business," Koncz said.

"There's no doubt in my mind that Manny's going to win this fight."
