Pacman the game was released in 1980, when Manny is just a two year toddler. So no way, the games was named after the boxer. As for his moniker, I would think it is a play of his name, PACquiao. The game was huge then and maybe he is just as big in Philippines.

Well, to put a period, i'm a countrymen of pacquiao =). No, its not named after him. Its just a classic game that match exactly in his name Manny Pacquiao=Pacman hehe. We know that pacman ate his opponent in game's intro. Sad for his defeat.
