Pacquiao Bio
At the age of 30, Manny is a 14-year pro—he made his debut at 16. He has been fighting at the top levels of competition and given some of the most sensational performances in the ring in recent years.
A certain future Hall of Famer, Manny was voted the “2008 Fighter of the Year” by the Boxing Writers Association of America. He also won the BWAA award in 2006, as well as The Ring’s 2006 and 2008 “Fighter of the Year.”
Manny is also recognized by most observers as the best fighter at any weight in the ring today—the best “Pound for Pound.”
He is a national hero in his native Philippines—the entire country of over 96 million people comes to a virtual standstill to watch whenever he fights.
Manny is coming off of an electrifying second-round knockout win against former IBF jr. welterweight and WBA welterweight world champion Ricky Hatton in his last fight on May 2.
