Very interesting.
I was really hoping for his fight against Terrence Crawford but then again, no official statement or agreement was made. In this fight, I do hope to see the same energy, tenaciousness, and aggressiveness of Pacquiao against Mikey Garcia.
According to boxrec, this is the current stats of Mikey Garcia:

He is indeed younger than Manny around 9 years but both of them started their boxing careers early. I did watch the fights of Mikey Garcia before and I think this is a safe fight for the two fighters, considering that they are veterans of the ring. This is actually a smart decision in order to increase their investments and winnings.
