Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao (born December 17, 1978), popularly known as Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao, is Filipino professional boxer, as well as a part-time actor and recording artist. He is currently the IBO and Ring Magazine Light Welterweight champion and is rated by the Ring Magazine as the #1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world. He is the former WBC Lightweight world champion, WBC Super Featherweight world champion, IBF Super Bantamweight world champion, and WBC Flyweight world champion. Pacquiao has a record of 49 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws, with 37 wins coming by knockout. He is the first boxer to top the Ring Magazine's Pound-for-Pound boxing title after Floyd Mayweather, Jr. announced his retirement from boxing in 2008. He is also the first boxer to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes.

Pacquiao ranked 22nd on the third annual Time magazine's 100 poll for the "World's Most Influential Person" with a total of 20,391,818 votes. He also ranked sixth on the Forbes Magazine’s list of "World's Highest-Paid Athletes" for earning $40 million (about P1.9 billion) from June 2008 to June 2009. This includes his salary, bonuses, prize money, endorsements, and licensing income. He was tied on the list with NBA player Lebron James and golfer Phil Mickelson.

[edit] Early career

Pacquiao started his professional boxing career in 1995 at 106 pounds. His early fights were usually in small venues and were shown on Vintage Sports' evening boxing show Blow by Blow hosted by John Ray Betita. He became an instant star of the program for both his boyish stance and boxing skills.

His weight increased from 106 to 113 pounds before losing in his 12th bout against Rustico Torrecampo via a third round technical knockout. During the fight as commented by well-known sports newscaster Quinito Henson, Pacquiao clearly did not make the weight so he was forced to use heavier gloves than that of Torrecampo which served as a disadvantage.^{[citation needed]}

Shortly after the Torrecampo fight Pacquiao settled at 112 pounds, winning the WBC Flyweight title over Chatchai Sasakul only to lose it in his second defense against Medgoen Singsurat, or Medgoen 3K Battery, via a third round knockout in a bout held at Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. Technically, Pacquiao lost the belt at the scales by surpassing the required weight of 112 lb (51 kg).

Following his loss to Singsurat, Pacquiao gained weight anew, this time stopping at the super bantamweight division of 122 lb (55 kg) where he picked up the WBC International Super Bantamweight title, defending it five times before his next world title fight came.

Pacquiao’s big break came on June 23, 2001, against IBF Super Bantamweight champion Lehlohonolo Ledwaba. Pacquiao stepped into the fight as a late replacement and walked out of the fight as the newly crowned IBF Super Bantamweight champion in a bout held at MGM Grandas Vegas, Nevada.

[edit] Pacquiao's rise

Pacquiao went on to defend his title four times before the match that many consider to have defined his career, against Mexican boxing idol, Marco Antonio Barrera of Mexico. Pacquiao defeated Barrera via a TKO in the 11th round at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas.

Only six months removed from his win over Barrera, Pacquiao went on to challenge another respected Mexican brawler, Juan Manuel Márquez, holder of the World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) Featherweight titles. The fight held at the MGM Grand ended in a controversial draw after he knocked down Márquez three times in the first round, but lost most of the latter rounds.

In a bout held in Taguig City, Philippines, Pacquiao fought against Fahsan (3K-Battery) Por Thawatchai. Pacquiao sent Por Thawatchai to the canvas three times en route to a knockout in the fourth round. A left uppercut to the jaw lifted the Thai off his feet and knocked him out to end the fight.

Pacquiao once again went up in weight and tipped the scales at 130 pounds in order to fight another Mexican fighter, three-time division champion Erik Morales on March 19, 2005 at the MGM Grand. However, Pacquiao lost the 12 round match by a unanimous decision from the judges.

On September 10, 2005, Manny Pacquiao knocked out Hector Velázquez, capturing the WBC International Super Featherweight title in the process in a fight held at Staples Center, Los Angeles, California.

Pacquiao defeated Erik Morales by TKO in a much-anticipated rematch on January 21, 2006 in Las Vegas at Thomas and Mack Center.

[edit] Newfound fame

After the Morales bout, Pacquiao was in the limelight again during the first week of February 2006 when a prostitute working in a Manila night club claimed that he was the father of her son, born out of a whirlwind affair with the boxer. Allegedly, the boxer was not giving her child financial support, prompting her to sue Pacquiao and demanding P250,000,000 ($5,159,958) in child support.

On March 21, Pacquiao was sent to the hospital due to liver problems. Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach had commented earlier about his concerns of Pacquiao's late night lifestyle and warned that the boxer is in danger of losing both his edge and his focus. Roach noted that there are too many distractions surrounding Pacquiao in the Philippines, including sponsorship deals, personal appearances, nocturnal activities as well as his circle of friends.

On July 2, Pacquiao defeated another Mexican, Oscar Larios, a two-time super-bantamweight champion. Despite his camp's big promise of an early knockout, the fight went the distance with Pacquiao knocking down the Mexican two times during the 12-round bout for the WBC International Super Featherweight title held at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Philippines.^[3]

[edit] Pacquiao in popular culture

Manny Pacquiao is currently one of the most visible figures in Philippine media and is considered a household name.

A movie based on his life has been produced and was released on June 21, 2006. The movie is titled Pacquiao: The Movie featuring Filipino actor Jericho Rosales as Manny Pacquiao and is directed by Joel Lamangan. Despite its huge P50,000,000 ($1,031,991) budget, wide distribution (80 cinemas) and strong marketing, the movie flopped in the box-office grossing a total of only P4,812,191 ($99,322) confirmed by Lamangan.

Shortly after winning his rematch with Erik Morales, Pacquiao produced the song "Para Sa 'Yo Ang Laban Na 'To" (Tagalog: "This Fight is for You") which became a hit single all over the Philippines. It expressed a nationalistic theme as well as Pacquiao's struggles in the ring. The release of the song came weeks before his second bout with Morales, leading up to the promos to the fight. Although "Para sa 'Yo" is his first attempt at professional music recording, Pacquiao's victory against Morales greatly contributed to the song's popularity.

Pacquaio and Morales recently appeared together in a San Miguel Beer commercial filmed for the Filipino audience. In the advertisement, Pacquiao is at a party and joined by Freddie Roach. A woman guest at the part asks, "Manny, kaya mo ba daw ang isang round?" (Translation: "[Someone is asking] Can you go one more round?") Roach says in English, "Who's asking?" The crowd silences as Erik Morales enters the party and makes his way through the crowd. Pacquiao walks toward Morales and both boxers engage in a "staredown". Morales then says "Wala kang katulad, Manny," (Translation: "There is no one like you, Manny.") and gives him a bottle of San Miguel Beer. Pacquiao replies, "Parang San Miguel Beer." (Translation: "Just like San Miguel Beer.") The next scene shows Morales and Pacquiao sitting together with the rest of the party guests, holding their beers in their hands. Morales proclaims, "For me, this is the best beer!" Pacquiao replies, "O, straight?" The commercial ends with Pacquiao and Morales toasting their friendship with San Miguels. This commercial has been parodied in the comedy show, Bubble Gang, with Michael V. playing Pacquiao, and Ogie Alcasid playing Morales.

During her sixth State of the Nation Address on July 24, 2006 in Quezon City, Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo cited Pacquiao as one of the nation's modern day heroes. "Mabuhay ka, Manny", said Arroyo. In return, the champion delivered his own speech endorsing Arroyo. "The President said many good things in the SONA." Pacquiao remarked.

It is not widely known that professional wrestlers The Undertaker and Jason Reso were actually a part of Pacquiao's entourage during the Pacquiao vs. Velázquez fight in 2005. An avid boxing fan, The Undertaker was the person who carried the US flag while leading Team Pacquiao to the ring. This was also confirmed by another fellow wrestler, Batista. Batista revealed this during a televised interview in the Philippines while promoting an upcoming WWE promotional tour which was set to be shown in this country.

Pacquiao owns a lottery outlet for the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.

Pacquiao is the owner of the Pac Man Gensan of the Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association. The team based in his hometown of General Santos City. Pacquiao even suited up for the team for a few games during the first conference of said league.

Pacquiao is the first ever non-fictional Filipino featured in a video game. He is featured in the video games Fight Night: Round 2, Fight Night: Round 3 and Fight Night: Round 4.

Pacquiao is an avid supporter and endorser of PBA team Barangay Ginebra Kings.

[edit] Political career

[edit] Speculations on his candidacy

For some time, many have speculated that Manny Pacquiao will enter politics after he ends his boxing career. While boxing is far from over for him, Pacquiao admitted that he is thinking about starting a career in politics. In fact, he quietly visited the Commission on Elections , escorted by Arnold "Ali" Atienza (son of current Manila Mayor Lito Atienza), to transfer his residence from General Santos City to Manila^[4]. This fueled speculations that he may seek an elective post in the nation's capital, which even gave him the title "Adopted Son" when he was winning his earlier bouts.

His name was once floated as a possible vice-mayoralty candidate to the younger Atienza when the latter seeks the city's highest post in the 2007 elections, but backed-out after Sen. Panfilo Lacson, then the leading candidate for Manila mayor, did the same after there were threats from his opponents to dig the issue of his residency. (Similarly, Pacquiao also had such issues).

Being known as an Arroyo supporter, his name is also being floated as a candidate of Lakas CMD for the mayoralty race of General Santos City against incumbent Mayor Pedro Acharon. Instead, he was recently sworn-in as a member of the Liberal Party under the Atienza wing, thus further fueling his political ambition.

[edit] Congressional bid

On 12 February 2007, the famed boxer announced that he was running for congress representing South Cotabato. His decision however easily turned off both his fans and the general public. Election experts stressed that as Pacquiao insists on participating in his next professional boxing match, he will immerse himself into a legal conflict regarding campaign exposure, especially since the match will be televised nationwide. Aside from that, COMELEC Commissioner Ben Abalos mentioned a possible legal entanglement could ruin Pacquiao's candidacy since he already registered himself as a Manila resident months prior.

Numerous sports personalities and analysts around the Philippines expressed that Pacquiao should think seriously and deeply about his sports career, which could potentially be destroyed by the dirty world of politics. Popular columnist Randy David mentioned that Pacquiao allowed himself to be used by selfish and desperate politicians.

A potential disadvantage for Pacquiao is his alleged mental immaturity. The incumbent congresswoman he is challenging is not only a well educated person but also a member of one of South Cotabato's political dynasties.

On 24 February 2007 in Cebu City, Pacquiao, for the first time ever, was booed by thousands of spectators as his presence was acknowledged by the organizers of The Battle of Cebu, a WBO-sanctioned boxing festival. The embarrassment compelled the fighter to withdraw his political bid, according to Manila Mayor Lito Atienza.

The negative sentiment among Cebuanos over Pacquiao's political aspiration was felt even before the The Battle of Cebu was held as at least one citizen's comment got published by local newspaper Sun Star.

[edit] Political Party

In May 2009, speculations about Pacquiao forming his own political party was confirmed when Poll commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer disclosed that the boxer filed a petition for accreditation by his counsel, Minveles Beloncio-Gulle, on December 3, 2008. His party, the People's Champ Movement (PCM) was heard by the COMELEC in May 2009, confirming his intention to run in the 2010 elections. “People’s Champ” was the moniker given Pacquiao by the House in a resolution in 2008.

Nevertheless, the COMELEC official pointed out that as a rule, Pacquiao would not be able to run for any national position, such as senator, under the PCM because his party application was only for a local political party for the city of General Santos and the neighboring province of Sarangani in Mindanao.

[edit] The Battle of East versus West

On 2 May 2009, Manny Pacquiao was pitted against the challenger Ricky Hatton, a leftpaw boxer from Manchester, England in a 5-title bout staged at MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. Hatton was the longtime junior welterweight champion but surprised his fans when he went against boxing tradition and came out first to the boxing ring. He considered himself the challenger, even though he was the world title holder., with a record of 45 wins, 1 defeat against Floyd Mayweather Jr, 2 draws, and 36 knockouts.

Pacquiao himself sported a record of 48 wins, 3 losses, 0 draws, and 32 knockouts. He was considered by boxing professionals to be the pound for pound fighting champion of the whole boxing world. He was at a disadvantage coming into the match as he was just starting to compete in a heavier weight division, having started boxing at 106 pounds.

The two fighters from opposite sides of the world were featured in the most anticipated boxing match of 2009, called the Battle of the East versus West, and they did not disappoint. In the first round Hatton surprised Pacquiao by immediately pursuing the more agile and experienced boxer. However Hatton's fighting style was well known by Pacquiao and he saw that the English pugilist had opened up his defenses. Pacquiao floored him for the first time in the first round with a succession of five right hooks, something which was quite unexpected, as Pacquiao later revealed that he develped a new fighting style under the advice of his 10-year coach Freddie Roach. A combination of right-left hooks floored Hatton again just before the bell rang, signalling the end of the 1st round.

The second round immediately revealed the weaknesses of Hatton's strategy. He maintained his boxing style, unable to adapt to Pacquiao's new fighting techniques of lightning-quick shifts from left to right hooks. At 2:59 minutes of the round Pacquiao's lightning left hook floored him. Hatton was unable to beat the referee's countdown, and remained prone and completely disoriented, much to the concern of his family. The final punch statistics revealed that Pacquaio had landed 78 of 127 thrown punches, or a 57% conversion, with Hatton managing only to convert 18 punches versus 78 throws.

In the postfight analysis Freddie Roach stated that every time Hatton "throws his left hand, he pulls it back and cocks it, and is wide open for a short right-hand hook from a southpaw stance. So we worked it out every day in the gym..." Pacquaio himself confirmed that "Our strategy was the one punch. Left hook. Right hook. That was going to be the key to this fight.... In the first round, I expected my right hook was going to be dangerous for him. He was open and coming forward and his hands were down". Pacquiao confirmed Roach's analysis, saying that "I have a new technique to my right hook... We studied that every day in the gym. The right hook was going to be a key to the fight because he comes in with his left hand down."

The fight was halted at the end of the 2nd round with Pacquiao declared the victor by technical knockout and was proclaimed the light welterweight champion of the boxing world. After the match Pacquiao announced that he would be ready to face his next contenders, either Floyd Mayweather Jr who had earlier defeated Hatton or Juan M. Marquez.

This bout was called Pacquiao's greatest achievement yet, destroying Hatton in just 2 rounds, ina new division for the Filipino fighter, a division at 140 pounds, something which Hatton (45-2) has dominated in the last five years. Pacquaio's next match with either Mayweather Jr or Marquez promises to be an even bigger and greater match.

[edit] Pacquiao versus Cotto

Pacquiao and three-time world champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico agreed to fight in Las Vegas on November 14, 2009. Among the details that were agreed upon for the Pacquiao-Cotto fight were the weight (both camps agreed to the 145-pound catchweight) and the purse (Pacquiao will get the 60% share of PPV buys, as compared to Cotto's 35% share). As of the moment, it is still not clear whether Cotto's WBO welterweight belt will be at stake, although WBO has ranked Pacquiao as the #1 contender for Cotto's welterweight belt. On 15 November 2009, Pacquiao won his 7th title in seven boxing divisions by knocking out Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto on the 12th round of the World Boxing Organization Welterweight Championship.
