Recently, McGregor lost a money rich boxing match to Floyd Mayweather, who then retired with a 50-0 unbeaten record.
McGregor mentioned Pacquiao in January when the Irishman was teasing his fans with a second boxing match. He said: "The Manny Pacquiao talks have been ongoing."
"An aspiration of mine now is to win a boxing world title. I think that would be a phenomenal feather in the cap and something I look to achieve in the future. And something I will achieve."
McGregor made a debut in pro boxing in 2017, whereas, 41-year-old Pacquiao is the reigning WBA welterweight champion and has won world titles in eight divisions.
In 2015, Pacquiao lost the richest fight of all time to Mayweather.
