In October 2018 Pacheco signed with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing USA.[4] He made his professional debut on December 22, 2018, at the Auditorio Fausto Gutiérrez Moreno in Tijuana, Mexico, against Luis Carlos Gonzalez, winning by knockout (KO) early in the first round.[5] In 2019, he fought and won seven times, including six victories by way of KO.[6] On December 7, 2019, he featured on the undercard of Andy Ruiz Jr. vs Anthony Joshua II in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, knocking out the more experienced opponent Selemani Saidi with a right hand.[7][8]

On February 29, 2020, Pacheco defeated Oscar Riojas via six-round unanimous decision (UD) on the undercard of Mikey Garcia vs. Jessie Vargas at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.[9]

On March 5, 2022 Pacheco stopped Genc Pllana in the second round.[10] On June 10, 2022 he defeated Raul Ortega via fourth-round RTD.[11]

On April 6, 2024 in Las Vegas, Pacheco was scheduled to face Shawn McCalman.[12] He won the fight by unanimous decision and retained his WBC USA and WBO International super middleweight titles.[13]

Pacheco was scheduled to face former title challenger Maciej Sulecki in Carson, CA on August 31, 2024.[14] Pacheco won the fight by knockout in the sixth round with liver shot.[15][16]
