Manny Pacqiuao hasn’t fought in a competitive bout since 2021.
Recently the Filipino fighter has been involved in exhibition contests taking on South Korean martial artist DK Yoo, whilst having another scheduled against Muay Thai fighter Buakaw Banchamek.
But Sean Gibbons, Pacquiao’s advisor and business partner, revealed the boxing legend’s dream opponent and it would be huge.

Speaking to Betway he said: “Right now, the focus is his exhibition fight in Thailand and then hopefully Saudi Arabia and hypothetically, if Conor [McGregor] comes back and does well [in his unconfirmed UFC return vs. Michael Chandler], we will see but I don’t want to talk too much about Conor McGregor because he is tied up with the UFC and I don’t want to get caught up with Dana White.”
“At the moment, Conor McGregor is not in discussion at all because Conor McGregor is in the UFC and has a big fight coming up in June. In a dream fight, McGregor would be tremendous.”
“Ten years ago, Pacquiao against McGregor wouldn’t have even been competitive but due to the fact Manny is a little older, Conor is still young and really has improved his boxing and gave [Floyd] Mayweather a great run, it would be a great fight.”
“So, with the age factor, he could give Manny a good run but there’s no need to even discuss that fight until after June and see if a real fighter comes around and Manny can fight them.”
Is this a fight you want to see? Let us know in the comments.
