Their promotions have signed nothing official for now.

A day ago, Garcia posted a picture of him and Manny Pacquiao. He wrote, “A dream turned reality It’s an honor to share the Ring with @mannypacquiao I will always respect what you did in and out the ring. Here’s to the best Man Winning.”

The 22-year-old has high regard for Pacman’s accomplishments inside and outside the ring. In several podcasts, interviews, and outings, Garcia cited a bout with Pacquiao as his dream fight. He even admitted to being star-struck by the boxing legend.

But Garcia’s fight announcement with the Senator has poured cold water on the Davis fight, alongside his title shot.
