Newly crowned 147lbs champion Liam Paro’s team are set to make contact with Manny Pacquiao over a world title clash.Paro recently defeated Lewis Crocker on home soil in Australia to capture the IBF welterweight title, to become champion in a second weight class.Mayweather and Pacquiao’s lucrative sequel is off and now the latter is trying to find a new solutionThere are several big fights in the division right now which could include Filipino legend Pacquiao.The boxing great was due to return in a blockbuster sequel with Floyd Mayweather but it has now been postponed leaving his final half of the year free.Pacquiao previously harboured ambitions of becoming the division’s oldest ever world champion, and came ever so close to doing so against Mario Barrios.And now Paro’s promoter George Rose is open to beginning negotiations for a clash.“Manny is the one fight we want to make for Liam,” he said.“Imagine Manny coming back to Australia. Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Rolly Romero all hold world titles (in the welterweight division), but we don’t have to do a unification fight.“When Jeff (Horn) fought Manny, he didn’t have the belt. It would be unreal. “Imagine doing a card with Manny, Paro and possibly the two Tszyus. It would be sensational.”Pacquiao has fought once on Australian shores, in what ended in a historic upset, as he was outpointed by Jeff Horn in 2017.It was a historic event and it is likely that there would be significant interest if the veteran was to return down under against a home favourite.Paro could be the one to give Pacquiao a chance to make history in a mammoth eventGettyPacquiao’s world title ambitionsAfter a disastrous collapse of his lucrative bout with Mayweather, the priority for Pacquiao may well now switch to history.Rolly Romero was a primary option for the former eight-weight world champion prior to signing to face his American foe.That is another fight that could be brought back into the fold, although the champion wasn’t impressed with previous talks.Pacquiao may also choose to wait until legal issues surrounding Mayweather can be resolved to face ‘Money’ again in 2027.But time is certainly ticking for the Asian icon, who will need to launch an unlikely assault now, or he will not be sanctioned to fight beyond his physical capabilities.And the CEO of Pacquiao Promotions Jas Mathur added that alternate plans are already being made.Watch Boxing on DAZN*If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenueSign up to DAZN to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate from just £24.99/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.Alternatively, DAZN Standard is just £15.99/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.Click here to sign up.He concluded: “We’re working on it. We’re looking at different options, we’re looking at different things.“We want to be very careful. Of course we are under contract at this time. “But yes, we are working on trying to get an alternate fight as well or something in place for Manny at this moment.”
