Could a potential Ryan Garcia vs Manny Pacquiao fight happen?

Garcia said that Pacquiao is an inspiration to him. So he would undoubtedly want to fight him. Moreover, in the monetary sense, it would be a lucrative fight given the global superstardom of Garcia and the status of Pacquiao.

However, Garcia fights in the lightweight division, while Pacquiao fights in the welterweight division. Furthermore, Pacquiao is in the twilight of his career and has already stated he wants Errol Spence Jr and Conor McGregor as his next two fights.

Therefore, given the vast difference between the two profiles, this is a fight that may never happen. Thus, we will never know if that is, in fact, the approach that Garcia takes in that fight. If the two were to fight, who do you think would walk out victorious?
