Manny Pacquiao Reveals Another Possible Opponent After Terence Crawford

Filipino Senator Manny Pacquiao will lace up the gloves and return to action soon, as he continues to tout several big matchups. Initially, he was rumored to fight Conor McGregor in a crossover fight. However, news around the matchup faded with time, bringing WBO champion Terence Crawford into the mix.

Pacquiao vowed to face ‘Bud’ in a welterweight title showdown for a lucrative $40 million offer. However, he has added more names to the mix, including Mikey Garcia. According to Boxing Scene, ‘Pac-Man’ connected with ABS-CBN to shed light on his upcoming plans.

While Garcia has made it to Pacquiao’s hit-list, Terence Crawford is still relevant. The eight-division champion is currently negotiating with Crawford’s team, and with settled terms and conditions, we can see the fight happen.

‘Pac-Man’ said, “We’re leaning towards Mikey Garcia, but we’re also talking to Crawford. We never really got complacent, we’ve always continuously worked out, We keep on playing basketball aside from boxing. Actually, right after my fight the last time with [Keith] Thurman, I didn’t work out boxing, but I kept playing basketball.”

Meanwhile, Pacquiao’s political role keeps him busy, and we can see him retire after a couple more fights. Following a Hall-of-Fame-worthy career, he doesn’t need to prove his worth anymore.

So, Pacquiao continued, “We will keep on giving, we will continue to help as much as we can, even if it’s just in small ways. I would love to be able to help everyone out, but our resources are limited, so we’ll do the best that we can, no problem.”

But he is still looking for worthy contenders, while several boxers choose to duck them. Although nothing is official as of now, we can still expect ‘Pac-Man’ to return in a massive blockbuster event.
