"We're very excited to announce that Manny Pacquiao has signed with PSM for full service representation!" Paradigm said. "Manny is one of the greatest boxers of all time and we look forward to working with Arnold, Ping and the rest of the team back in Manila to maximize his historic career."

In 2019, the 41-year-old Pacquiao, the current WBA Welterweight Super Champion, had a stellar performance, defeating Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman.

With the exciting news, McGregor himself welcomed Pacquiao in a tweet earlier.

"Welcome to the team Emmanuel," he said, retweeting Paradigm's announcement.
