Boxing World, Business and Politics

Pacman is the the first eight-division world champion having won six world titles, as well as the first Filipino men to win the lineal championship in four weight classes. Eventually after those winning he named him "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA). This man also is a three-time The Ring and BWAA "Fighter of the Year," winning the award for the years 2006, 2008, and 2009.

Today, this humble man is the WBO Welterweight Champion and rated as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world by some sporting news and boxing websites which includes BoxRec.com, Sporting Life and The Ring.

And aside from his professional boxing career this guy has participated and conquered acting, music recording, business and politics. Last May 2010 Pacman was elected to the House of  Representatives in the 15th Congress of the Philippines, representing the the Saranggani province.

With his wife and his personal escort Maria Geraldine "Jinkee" Jamora has reached the road of success. From being an amateur boxer and now a truly professional and king of the boxing ring, probably this guy gets  the highest paid during his fights. He earn more than $10,000 a fight. With this earning Pacman is truly a Filipino because he helps in improving schools, hospitals and welfare around Saranggani and other places. Pacquiao is really a great fighter and a natural born Filipino thats why he deserves a title-- "A Great Hero of the Filipino People.
