Manny Pacquiao says he's ready for Ricky Hatton once he's fought Oscar De La Hoya.

Pacman, the current P4P king, takes on De La Hoya in what promises to be the richest fight of the year in Las Vegas on Saturday week.

The winner is being lined up for a megabucks showdown with Hatton next summer, possibly at Wembley Stadium in London.

Pacquiao, who confirmed he's likely to fight in Hatton's light-welterweight division post-Pacquiao, is up for the clash.

After Ricky's stoppage win over Paulie Malignaggi, Manny said: "I watched the fight happen. It was a good fight. I'm ready to fight him. I'm willing to fight Hatton but right now I'm just focused on this coming fight. And I don't want to change something that can affect my concentration to that fight."

Pacquiao will start as underdog against De La Hoya, mainly due to the big size advantage the 'Golden Boy' holds.

And last week Oscar said that if he doesn't stop Manny, it will be "a total disaster".

Pacman though was distinctly unimpressed, responding: "It's easy to say the words, but to do that is not easy. I'm just doing my job, I'm prepared. I want to surprise people".

The fight with De La Hoya is not only the biggest of Pacquiao's career to date, but will also produce his biggest ever purse. But money wasn't his only motivation in taking the fight.

"I accepted the fight because I thought I have a big chance to win the fight," he said.

"It's a big honour to me to fight a fighter like Oscar De La Hoya. And also to beat him is going to be a big, big honour for me."
