61 winning fights, 12 major world titles, and the only eight-division world champion in the history of boxing; this may seem an accomplishments of different persons yet your guess and accusations do not merely bull’s eye the tip of the topic.

Emmanuel Dapitran Pacquiao, also known as Manny “Pac-man” Pacquiao, was once a rag thinking that his life was worthless and his presence of in the world he live in is worthless that he was just born from poverty and will live and die wasting his life and mortality.

Pac-man was born in the year 1948 on an abject poverty of his province, Bukidnon, experienced a broken family since the day his parents were divorced when he was on the sixth grade at his alma mater Saavedra Saway Elementary School having a day without rice to eat to the point that his father had to kill his one and only pet dog for their dinner. Raising from the thought of his anger, he left his home, slept on the cardboard boxes and sold breads on the streets leading him from being a lanky school drop-out on the junior high school.

As time goes by, he still can’t escaped the poop life he had and the only decision that was left on his mind is to get any job just to surpass his day to day life, furthermore, we was luckily accepted at a local gymnasium as the one who was gardening, cleaning and constructing the place yet on the same time, he was amazed by himself that boxing could be the solution of the problems and challenges in his life.

His passion for boxing burst out on this place he found but before this, his uncle was once introduced the sports boxing when he was already a drop-out student. In the turning of his age to 19, this time was also the turning point of his passion in the world of boxing that he was already joining local, national and international boxing competitions that he grabbed the belt, beating Chatchai Sasakul, the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) flyweight that time.

Manny crazily developed his passion on becoming a well-known boxer worldwide having his blood-sweat- and tears on every training and practises that he exhibits besides he was drained at a time that he was losing his determination and wanting to quit the dream he was reaching for yet currently, he is now having his most tip of his career not only in the world of boxing but also on the political and entertainment world.

Now at his 40’s, he is presently on of the most respected boxers worldwide, having a net worth of $ 190 million that he uses for his good deeds and supporting the people that have the same tract he had before, gaining the hearts of every proud Filipino and foreign fans of boxing, inspiring and carrying his story that anything is possible if you have strong faith to yourself, your creator and your passion is unreachable.
