 Facts :
Emmanuel "Manny" Dapidran Pacquiao, PLH (/ˈpæki.aʊ/ pak-ee-ow;Tagalog: [pɐkˈjaʊ];[5] born
December 17, 1978) is a Filipino professional boxer,basketball player, politician, actor, and singer.
He is the first and only eight-division world champion,[6] in which he has won ten world titles, as
well as the first to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes.[7] According to 
Forbes, he was the 14th highest paid athlete in the world as of 2013. [8]
He was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s (decade) by the 
Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA), World Boxing Council (WBC) andWorld
Boxing Organization (WBO). He is also a three-time The Ring andBWAA "Fighter of the Year,"
 winning the award in 2006, 2008 and 2009, and the Best Fighter ESPY Award in 2009 and 2011.[9]
He is the current WBO welterweight champion[10] and is currently ranked number three on The
Ring pound-for-pound list.[11]
He was long rated as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world by some sporting news and
boxing websites, including ESPN, Sports Illustrated,Sporting Life, Yahoo! Sports, About.com, 
BoxRec and The Ring from his climb to Lightweight until his losses in 2012.[12][13]
Beyond boxing, Pacquiao has participated in basketball, business, acting, music recording and
politics. In May 2010, Pacquiao was elected to the House of Representatives in the 
15th Congress of the Philippines, representing the province of Sarangani. He was re-elected in
2013 to the 16th Congress of the Philippines.,[14]
Pacquiao, while mostly focused on being a boxer and a congressman, is listed as the head coach
of the basketball team Kia Sorento. At 36, he also played 7 minutes of one of the team's games and
is thus a professional basketball player. He was drafted onto the team that he coaches as 11th
overall on the first round of the 2014 PBA draft by the Kia Sorento, making him as the oldest rookie
drafted,[15] as well as the shortest player and the first dual-sport athlete in the 
Philippine Basketball Association.[16] Pacquiao also owns a team in thePBA Developmental League
 (PBA D-League), the MP Hotel Warriors.
Personal life
Pacquiao was born on December 17, 1978, in Kibawe, Bukidnon, Philippines. He is the son of
Rosalio Pacquiao andDionesia Dapidran-Pacquiao.[17] His parents separated when he was in sixth
grade, after his mother discovered that his father was living with another woman. [17] He is the fourth
among six siblings: Liza Silvestre-Onding and Domingo Silvestre (from first husband of his mother)
and Isidra Pacquiao-Paglinawan, Alberto "Bobby" Pacquiao and Rogelio Pacquiao.
Pacquiao is married to Maria Geraldine "Jinkee" Jamora,[18] and they have five children: Emmanuel
Jr. "Jimuel", Michael, Princess, Queen Elizabeth "Queenie" and Israel. He resides in his hometown 
General Santos City, South Cotabato, Philippines.[19] However, as a congressman of lone district of
Sarangani, he is officially residing in Kiamba, Sarangani, the hometown of his wife.
Raised in the Roman Catholic faith,[20] Pacquiao is currently a practicing Evangelical Protestant.
[21][22][23]
 He is also amilitary reservist with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Reserve Force of the 
Philippine Army.[24] Prior to being commissioned to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he first entered
the Army's reserve force on April 27, 2006 as a Sergeant. Later, he rose to Technical Sergeant on
December 1 of the same year. On October 7, 2007, he became a Master Sergeant, the highest rank
in the enlisted personnel. On May 4, 2009, he was given the special rank of Senior Master Sergeant
 and was also designated as the Command Sergeant Major of the 15th Ready Reserve Division. [25]
Education
Pacquiao completed his elementary education at Saavedra Saway Elementary School
in General Santos City, but dropped out of high school due to extreme poverty.[26] He left
his home at age 14 because his mother, who had six children, was not making enough
money to support her family.[26]
In February 2007 he took, and passed, a high school equivalency exam making him
eligible for college education.[27] He was awarded with a high school diploma by the 
Department of Education. Pacquiao enrolled for a college degree in business
management at Notre Dame of Dadiangas University (NDDU) in his hometown in
General Santos City.
On February 18, 2009, Pacquiao was conferred the Honorary Degree of Doctor of
Humanities (Honoris Causa) bySouthwestern University (SWU) at the 
Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino in Lahug, Cebu City in recognition of his boxing
achievements and humanitarian work.[28]
In preparation for his career as a lawmaker in the House of Representatives, Pacquiao
enrolled in the Certificate Course in Development, Legislation and Governance at the
Development Academy of the Philippines – Graduate School of Public and Development
Management (DAP-GSPDM).[29]
Amateur boxing career
At the age of 14, Pacquiao moved to Manila
 and lived for a time on the streets. He
started boxing and made the 
Philippine national amateur boxing team
 where his room and board were paid for by
the government. Pacquiao reportedly had
an amateur record
Professional boxing career
Light Flyweight
In 1995, the death of a young aspiring boxer and close friend, Eugene Barutag,
spurred the young Pacquiao to pursue a professional boxing career. [31] Pacquiao
started his professional boxing career when he was just 16 years old, stood at 4'11''
and weighed 98 pounds (7 pounds under the minimumweight division). He admitted
before American media that he put weights in his pockets to make the 105-pound
weight limit.[32] His early light flyweight division fights took place in small local venues
and were shown on Vintage Sports' Blow by Blow, an evening boxing show. His
professional debut was a four-round bout against Edmund "Enting" Ignacio, on
January 22, 1995, which Pacquiao won via decision, becoming an instant star of the
program.
Pacquiao's weight increased from 106 to 113 pounds before losing in his 12th bout
against Rustico Torrecampo via a third-round knockout. Pacquiao failed to make the
required weight, so he was forced to use heavier gloves than Torrecampo, thereby
putting him at a disadvantage.[33]
Flyweight
Following the Torrecampo fight, Pacquiao continued undefeated for his next 15 fights.
He went on another unbeaten run that saw him take on the more experienced
Chokchai Chockvivat in flyweight division. Pacquiao knocked out Chockvivat in the
fifth round and took the OPBF Flyweight title.[34] After one official defense and two non-
title bouts, Pacquiao got his first opportunity to fight for a world title.
Pacquiao vs. Sasakul
Pacquiao captured the lineal and WBC flyweight titles (his first major boxing world
title) over Chatchai Sasakul by way of knockout in the eighth round. He defended the
titles successfully against Mexican Gabriel Mira via a fourth-round technical knockout.
However, Pacquiao lost the lineal title in his second defense against Medgoen
Singsurat, also known as Medgoen 3K Battery, via a third-round knockout. The bout
was held in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. Singsurat got Pacquiao on the ropes and
landed a flush straight right to the body, coiling Pacquiao over and keeping him there.
Prior to the fight Pacquiao lost the WBC title at the scales, as he surpassed the weight
limit of 112 pounds.
Super Bantamweight

Following his loss to Singsurat, Pacquiao gained weight and skipped the super flyweight andbantamweight divisions. This time, Pacquiao
went to super bantamweight, or junior featherweight, division of 122 pounds, where he picked up the WBC International Super Bantamweight
title. He defended this title five times before his chance for a world title fight came.
Pacquiao vs. Ledwaba
Pacquiao's big break came on June 23, 2001, against IBF Super Bantamweight title holderLehlohonolo
Ledwaba. Pacquiao stepped into the fight as a late replacement on two weeks' notice but won the fight by
technical knockout to win the title, his second major boxing world title. The bout was held at the  
MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao went on to defend this title four times under head
trainer Freddie Roach, owner of the Wild Card Gym in West Hollywood.

Featherweight
Pacquiao vs. Barrera I
On November 15, 2003, Pacquiao faced Marco Antonio Barrera at the Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas, in a fight that many consider to have defined his career.
Pacquiao, who was fighting at featherweight for the first time, brought his power with him and defeated Barrera via technical knockout in the eleventh round, the
only knockout loss in Barrera's career, and won the Lineal & The Ring Featherweight Championship, making him the first Filipino and Asian to become a 
three-division world champion, a fighter who won world titles in three different weight divisions. He defended the title twice before relinquishing it in 2005.[35]
On November 24, 2003, the then Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo conferred on Pacquiao the Presidential Medal of Merit at the Ceremonial Hall of 
Malacañang Palace for his knockout victory over the best featherweight boxer of the world. The following day, the members of the 
House of Representatives of the Philippines presented the House Resolution No. 765, authored by the then House Speaker Jose De Venecia and Bukidnon
Representative Juan Miguel Zubiri, which honored Pacquiao the Congressional Medal of Achievement for his exceptional achievements. Pacquiao is the first
sportsman to receive such an honor from the House of Representatives.[36][37]
Pacquiao vs. Márquez I
Six months after the fight with Barrera, Pacquiao challenged Juan Manuel Márquez, who at the time held both the WBA and IBF Featherweight titles. The fight
took place at the MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas, on May 8, 2004.
In the first round, Márquez was caught cold, as he was knocked down three times by Pacquiao. However, Márquez
showed great heart to recover from the early knockdowns and went on to win the majority of rounds thereafter. This
was largely due to Márquez's counterpunch style, which he managed to effectively utilize against the aggressive
style of Pacquiao. At the end of a very close fight, both boxers felt they had done enough to win the fight. The bout
was scored a draw, which proved to be a controversial decision.[38] The final scores were 115–110 for Márquez, 115–
110 for Pacquiao and 113–113.[38] The judge who scored the bout 113–113 admitted to making an error on the
scorecards, having scored the first round as 10–7 in favor of Pacquiao instead of the standard 10–6 for a three-
knockdown round. If he had scored the round 10–6 for Pacquiao (as the other two judges did), the result would
have been a split decision in favor of Pacquiao.[38] However most pundits scored the fight to Márquez [39]
Super Featherweight
Pacquiao vs. Morales I

against Morales
On March 19, 2005, Pacquiao moved up in super featherweight, or junior lightweight, division of
130 pounds, in order to fight another Mexican legend and three-division world champion Érik
Morales for the vacant WBC International and vacant IBA Super Featherweight titled. The fight
took place at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas. In this fight, Pacquiao sustained a cut over his right
eye from an accidental clash of heads in the fifth round. He lost the twelve-round match by a
unanimous decision from the judges. All three scorecards read 115–113 for Morales.[40]
On September 10, 2005, Manny Pacquiao knocked out in six rounds Héctor Velá
zquez atStaples Center in Los Angeles to capture the WBC International Super
Featherweight title, which he went on to defend five times. On the same day, his
rival, Érik Morales, foughtZahir Raheem and lost via unanimous decision.
Pacquiao vs. Morales II
Despite Morales's loss to Raheem, Pacquiao got matched up against Morales in a rematch which took place on January 21, 2006 at
the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas. During the fight, Morales escaped being knocked down twice, once in the second round
by holding onto the ropes and once in the sixth by falling on the referee. Pacquiao eventually knocked Morales out in the tenth, the
first time Morales was knocked out in his boxing career. [41]
Pacquiao vs. Larios
On July 2, 2006, Pacquiao defended his WBC International title against Óscar Larios, a two-time Super Bantamweight Champion
who had moved up two weight divisions to fight Pacquiao. Pacquiao won the fight via unanimous decision, knocking down Larios
two times in the 12-round bout at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Philippines. The three judges scored the fight 117–110, 118–
108 and 120–106 all for Pacquiao. [42]
On July 3, 2006, the day after winning the fight against Larios, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo personally bestowed theOrder of
Lakandula with the rank of "Champion for Life" (Kampeon Habambuhay) and the plaque of appreciation to Pacquiao in a simple
ceremony at the Presidential Study of Malacañang Palace.[43]

Pacquiao vs. Morales III

Pacquiao and Morales fought a third time (with the series tied 1–1) on November 18, 2006.
Witnessed by a near-record crowd of 18,276, the match saw Pacquiao defeat Morales via
a third-round knockout at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. [44] After the Pacquiao–
Morales rubber match, Bob Arum, Pacquiao's main promoter, announced that Manny had
returned his signing bonus back to Golden Boy Promotions, signaling intentions to stay
with Top Rank. This prompted Golden Boy Promotions to sue Pacquiao over breach of
contract.[45]
After a failed promotional negotiation with Marco Antonio Barrera's camp, Bob Arum chose 
Jorge Solís as Pacquiao's next opponent among several fighters Arum offered as
replacements. The bout was held in San Antonio, Texas, on April 14, 2007. In the sixth
round, an accidental headbutt occurred, giving Pacquiao a cut under his left eyebrow. The
fight ended in the eighth when Pacquiao knocked Solis down twice. Solis barely beat the
count after the second knockdown, causing the referee to stop the fight and award
Pacquiao a knockout win. The victory raised Pacquiao's win–loss–draw record to 44–3–2
with 34 knockouts. This also marked the end of Solis's undefeated streak.
Pacquiao vs. Barrera II
On June 29, 2007, Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions announced that they agreed to settle their lawsuit, meaning the long-
awaited rematch with Marco Antonio Barrera would occur despite Pacquiao being the top-ranked contender for Juan Manuel
Márquez's WBC Super Featherweight title. On October 6, 2007, Pacquiao defeated Barrera in their rematch via an easy unanimous
decision. In the eleventh round, Pacquiao's punch caused a deep cut below Barrera's right eye. Barrera retaliated with an illegal
punch on the break that dazed Pacquiao, but also resulted in a point deduction for Barrera. Two judges scored the bout 118 –109,
whereas the third scored it 115–112.[46]
In The Ring Magazine, Pacquiao (45–3–2) remained at the top of the super featherweight division (130 pounds). He had been in the
ratings for 108 weeks.[47][48] On November 13, 2007, he was honored by the World Boxing Council as Emeritus Champion during its
45th Annual World Convention held at the Manila Hotel.[49]
On November 20, 2007, José Nuñez, manager of WBO Super Featherweight Champion Joan Guzmán, accused Pacquiao's handler
Bob Arum of evading a match between the two boxers to protect Pacquiao. [50] Guzmán went as far as to directly call out Pacquiao at
the postfight press conference of the Pacquiao–Barrera rematch in front of the crowd at theMandalay Bay Events Center's media
room in Las Vegas.[51]
Pacquiao vs. Márquez II
On March 15, 2008, in a rematch against Juan Manuel Márquez, called "Unfinished Business," Pacquiao won via split decision. The
fight was held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. With the victory, Pacquiao won the WBC Super Featherweight
 and The Ring Super Featherweight titles, making him the first Filipino and Asian to become a four-division world champion, a fighter
who won world titles in four different weight divisions. The fight was a close, hard fought battle, during which both fighters received
cuts.[52] Throughout the fight, Márquez landed the
most punches at a higher percentage; however, the decisive factor proved to
be a third-round knockdown, wherein Márquez was floored by a Pacquiao left
hook.[52] At the end of the fight, the judges' scores were 115–112 for Pacquiao,
115–112 for Márquez and 114–113 for Pacquiao.[52] The decision was again
viewed as controversial by the public, with most pundits scoring the fight to
Márquez.[39][not in citation given]
In the post-fight news conference, Márquez’s camp called for an immediate
rematch. In addition, Richard Schaefer, Golden Boy Promotions CEO, offered
a $6 million guarantee to Pacquiao for a rematch. [53] However, Pacquiao ruled
out a third clash with Márquez, saying, "I don't think so. This business is over."
[52]
 The reason that Pacquiao did not want a rematch was because he
intended to move up to the lightweight division to challenge David Díaz, the
reigning WBC Lightweight title holder at that time.[52] Díaz won a majority
decision over Ramón Montano that night as an undercard of the "Unfinished
Business" fight.

Pacquiao vs. Díaz
See also: Manny Pacquiao vs. David Diaz
On June 28, 2008, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Pacquiao defeated David Díaz in lightweightdivision
via ninth-round knockout and won the WBC Lightweight title. With the victory, Pacquiao became the first and only Filipino
and Asian to become a five-division world champion, a fighter who won world titles in five different weight divisions,[54] and
also became the first Filipino fighter to ever win a world title at lightweight.[55] During the fight, which Pacquiao dominated,
Díaz was cut badly on his right eye in the fourth round. [56] After the bout, Díaz acknowledged Pacquiao's superior hand
speed, stating "It was his speed. It was all his speed. I could see the punches perfectly, but he was just too fast." [57]
Bob Arum reported that the fight had made 12.5 million dollars, earning Díaz his best payday of 850,000 dollars, whilst
Pacquiao earned at least 3 million dollars.[54] Official records revealed an attendance of 8,362 (out of a maximum capacity of
12,000).[58]
Holding both the WBC Super Featherweight and Lightweight titles following the win, Pacquiao decided to vacate his super
featherweight title in July 2008.[59]
On August 7, 2008, the members of the House of Representatives of the Philippines issued a House Resolution, sponsored
by South Cotabato Congresswoman Darlene Antonino-Custodio, which recognized Pacquiao as a "People’s Champ" — "for
his achievements and in appreciation of the honor and inspiration he has been bringing... to the Filipino people." He
received a plaque from the then House Speaker Prospero Nograles.[60]
Welterweight
Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya
See also: Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao
On December 6, 2008, Pacquiao moved up to the welterweight division in order to face the six-division world champion
Oscar De La Hoya at the MGM Grand, in a fight called "The Dream Match." Presented by Golden Boy Promotions and 
Top Rank, the bout was scheduled as a twelve-round, non-title fight contested at the 147-pound welterweight limit. Although
Pacquiao went into the fight widely recognized as the leading pound-for-pound boxer in the world, some boxing pundits
had speculated that 147 pounds could be too far above his natural weight against the larger De La Hoya. [61] However, due to
rehydration after the weigh in, De La Hoya came into the fight actually weighing less than Pacquiao and close to 20 pounds
under his usual fighting weight. Pacquiao dominated the fight and, after eight rounds, De La Hoya's corner was forced to
throw in the towel, awarding Pacquiao the win via technical knockout.[62]
Pacquiao was ahead on all three judges' scorecards before the stoppage, with two judges scoring the fight at 80–71 and
one scoring it at 79–72.[63] Moreover, Pacquiao landed 224 out of 585 punches, whilst De La Hoya landed only 83 out of 402
punches.[63] After the bout, trainer Freddie Roach stated, "We knew we had him after the first round. He had no legs, he was
hesitant and he was shot."[64] The fight would be De La Hoya's last, as he announced his retirement from boxing shortly
after.[65]
Pacquiao received 15 to 30 million dollars (share of the pay-per-view), plus a guaranteed amount.[66] Tickets reportedly sold
out just hours after they went on sale. Moreover, the total gate revenue for the fight was said to be nearly 17 million dollars,
making it the second largest gate revenue in boxing history. [67]
On December 22, 2008, Pacquiao has been decorated with the Philippine Legion of Honor with the rank of "Officer" (Pinuno)
in a ceremony marking the 73rd founding anniversary of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. As an army reservist, he was
given recognition for bringing pride and honor to the country through his remarkable achievements in the ring. [68]

On May 2, 2009, Pacquiao fought at light welterweight, or super lightweight, division for the first time against Ricky Hatton at the MGM Grand Las Vegas,
in a fight billed as "The Battle of the East and West." Pacquiao won the bout via knockout to claim Hatton's The Ring and IBO Light Welterweight titles. In
doing so, Pacquiao became the second man in boxing history to become a six-division world champion, a fighter who won 
world titles in six different weight divisions and the first man ever to win lineal world titles in four different weight classes.[69]
The fight was originally placed in jeopardy due to disputes with both camps over the fight purse money.[70] Eventually, the money issue was settled and
the fight went on as scheduled. HBO aired the contest.[71]
Pacquiao started the fight strong, knocking down Hatton twice in the first round. [72] A somewhat shaken Hatton beat the count, only to be saved by the bell
seconds later. In the second round, Hatton seemed to have recovered, as he stalked Pacquiao for most of the round. However, with less than ten
seconds remaining in the second round, Hatton was knocked out cold by a sharp left hook, prompting the referee to award Pacquiao the win by knockout
(at 2:59 of the round).[73]
The knockout won him the The Ring Magazine "Knockout of the Year" for

Pacquiao vs. Cotto
See also: Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto
On November 14, 2009, Pacquiao defeated Miguel Cotto via technical knockout in the twelfth round at the MGM Grand Las Vegas in
a fight billed as "Firepower." Although the bout was sanctioned as a world title fight in the welterweight division, where the weight
limit is 147 pounds, Cotto agreed to fight at a catchweight of 145 pounds.[74]
Pacquiao dominated the fight, knocking Cotto down in round three and round four, before the referee stopped the fight at 0:55 of
round twelve.[75] With this victory, Pacquiao took the WBO Welterweight title, was awarded the WBO Super Championship title and
became the first seven-division world champion, the first fighter in boxing history to win world titles in seven different weight divisions
.[76] Pacquiao also won the first and special WBC Diamond Championship belt. [77] This belt was created as an honorary championship
exclusively to award the winner of a historic fight between two high-profile boxers. [78] After the fight, promoter Bob Arum stated
"Pacquiao is the greatest boxer I've ever seen, and I've seen them all, including Ali, Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard."[79] Miguel Cotto
said in a post fight interview: "Miguel Cotto comes to boxing to fight the biggest names, and Manny is one of the best boxers we
have of all time."
The fight generated 1.25 million buys and $70 million in domestic pay-per-view revenue, making it the most watched boxing event of
2009.[80] Pacquiao earned around $22 million for his part in the fight, whilst Cotto earned around $12 million. [80]Pacquiao–Cotto also
generated a live gate of $8,847,550 from an official crowd of 15,930. [80]
On November 20, 2009, in a simple rites at the Quirino Grandstand, President Macapagal-Arroyo conferred Pacquiao theOrder of
Sikatuna with the rank of Datu (Grand Cross) with Gold distinction (Katangiang Ginto) which usually bestowed to foreign diplomats and heads
of state. It was awarded to Pacquiao for winning his historical seventh weight division world title.[81]
Negotiations with Floyd Mayweather
See also: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
Following the victory against Cotto, there was much public demand for a fight between the 
seven-division world championManny Pacquiao (the number-one pound-for-pound boxer) and the 
five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (the number-two and former number-one
pound-for-pound boxer). Pacquiao reportedly agreed to fight Mayweather on March 13, 2010 for a
split of $50 million up front.[82] And it was later agreed that the venue for the fight would be the MGM
Grand Las Vegas. However, the bout was put in jeopardy due to disagreements about Olympic-
style drug testing. The Mayweather camp wanted random blood testing by the 
United States Anti-Doping Agency,[83] whereas Pacquiao refused to have any blood testing within 30
days from the fight, because he thought it would weaken him, but he was willing to have blood
taken from him before the 30-day window as well as immediately after the fight. [84] Freddie Roach,
on the other hand, commented that he would not allow blood to be taken from Pacquiao one week
before the fight.[85][86] In an attempt to resolve their differences, the two camps went through a
process of mediation before a retired judge. After the mediation process Mayweather agreed to a
14-day no blood testing window. However, Pacquiao refused and instead only agreed to a 24-day
no blood testing window.[87] Consequently, on January 7, 2010, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum
declared that the fight was officially off. [88]
Because of Pacquiao's reluctance to submit to random blood testing to the extent requested by
Mayweather, despite lack of evidence, the Mayweather camp repeated their suggestion that
Pacquiao was using banned substances, which resulted in Pacquiao filing a lawsuit for defamation,
seeking damages in excess of 75,000 dollars.[89] The lawsuit cited accusations made by Floyd
Mayweather, Jr., Floyd Mayweather Sr., Roger Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya and 
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.[89][90]
After negotiations for the Mayweather fight fell through, other boxers were considered to replace
Mayweather as Pacquiao's next opponent, including former Light Welterweight Champion Paul
Malignaggi,[91] and WBA Light Middleweight title holderYuri Foreman.[92] However, Pacquiao chose to
fight former IBF Welterweight title holder Joshua Clottey instead.

The judges scored the fight 120–108, 119–109 and 119–109, all in favor of Pacquiao.[93]During the fight, Pacquiao threw a total of 1231 punches (a career
high), but landed just 246, as most were blocked by Clottey's tight defense. On the other hand, Clottey threw a total of 399 punches, landing 108. [94]
The fight was rewarded with a paid crowd of 36,371 and a gate of $6,359,985, according to post-fight tax reports filed withTexas boxing regulators.[95]
 Counting complimentary tickets delivered to sponsors, media outlets and others, the Dallas fight attracted 41,843, [95] well short of the 50,994 that was
previously announced,[96] but still an epic number for boxing. In addition, the bout drew 700,000 pay-per-view buys and earned $35.3 million in domestic
revenue.[97]
Manny Pacquiao was named as the Fighter of the Decade for years 2000–2009 by the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA). This award was
presented by legendary boxer Joe Frazier, who was also a recipient of the award himself back in 1978 for defeating Muhammad Ali. Aside from this
prestigious recognition, he was also named as the Sugar Ray Robinson Fighter of the Year for 2009, having received the same honor in 2006 and 2008.
The awards ceremony was held at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City on June 4, 2010.[9]
After his victory over Clottey, Pacquiao was expected to return to boxing in late 2010 with a possible matchup against Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. It was later
reported that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and Top Rank Chief Bob Arumworked out a '"Super Fight" between Manny Pacquiao and
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. However, complications arose when Mayweather requested Pacquiao undergo random blood and urine testing up until the fight
day. Pacquiao responded that he would agree to undergo blood and urine testing up until 14 days before the fight (as requested by Mayweather in the
first round of negotiations), stating that giving blood too close to the fight day would weaken him. On May 13, 2010, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum
announced that he had penciled in November 13, 2010 as the date of Manny Pacquiao's next fight, possibly against Mayweather. However, the stumbling
block over demands that Pacquiao submit to Olympic-level random drug testing put the fight in jeopardy. [98]
On June 12, 2010, the President of Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya, stated during an interview with a Spanish network that the deal for the
fight was very close and the negotiation process has been very difficult. [99] On June 30, 2010, Arum announced that the management of both sides had
agreed to terms, that all points had been settled (including Pacquiao agreeing to submit to both blood and urine testing) and only the signature of Floyd
Mayweather, Jr. was needed to seal the deal that could have earned both fighters at least $40 million each. Mayweather was then given a two-week
deadline for the fight contract to be signed.[100] Arum also announced that Pacquiao accepted the terms of the random drug testing, blood and urine,
leading up to the fight.[101]
On July 15, 2010, Bob Arum announced that Pacquiao's camp would give Mayweather until Friday midnight to sign the fight. The next day, the Top Rank
website embedded a countdown clock on their website with the heading "Money" Time: Mayweather's Decision. [102] On July 17, 2010, Arum announced
that there was no word from Mayweather's camp and the deal for a November 13, 2010 fight with Mayweather was not reached.
On July 19, 2010, Leonard Ellerbe, one of Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s closest advisers, denied that negotiations for a super fight between Mayweather and
Pacquiao had ever taken place. Ellerbe stated that Bob Arum was not telling the truth. [103]Bob Arum responded, questioning that if there was no
negotiation, then who imposed the gag order (referring to a gag order about the negotiation allegedly imposed on both camps) and who could there be a
gag order from if there were no negotiations. He also criticized Oscar De La Hoya and his Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer for denying
that negotiations took place, when De La Hoya himself had previously stated that they were "very, very close in finalizing the contracts." [104] Arum revealed
that HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg acted as the mediator between Mayweather’s handlers and those of Pacquiao’s from Top Rank Promotions.
[105]
 On July 26, 2010, Ross Greenburg said in a statement that he has been negotiating with a representative from each side since May 2, 2010, carefully
trying to put the fight together and he did in fact act as a go-between in negotiations with the two sides, but they were unable to come to an agreement,
contradicting what Arum and the Pacquiao camp had said. [106][107] Floyd Mayweather, Jr., after the second negotiation had been officially declared off, told
the Associated Press that he had fought sixty days ago and that he was not interested in rushing into anything and was not really thinking about boxing at
the moment.[108] Almost a year later, on July 8, 2011, Manny Pacquiao's top adviser Michael Koncz confirmed that Pacquiao had in fact never agreed to
testing up until fight day, which contradicted what Bob Arum and the Pacquiao camp had been saying for well over a year.
Light Middleweight
Pacquiao vs. Margarito
See also: Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito
On July 23, 2010, Bob Arum announced that Pacquiao would fight Antonio Margarito on November 13, 2010. The fight for the vacant WBC 
Light Middleweight title gave Pacquiao the chance to win a world title in his eighth weight class, the light middleweight, or super welterweight,
division.[109] A catchweight of 150 pounds was established for the fight, although the weight limit for the light middleweight division is 154 pounds.
During the pre-fight, Pacquiao weighed in at a low 144.6 pounds, while Margarito weighed in at the limit of 150 pounds. Pacquiao said he was
pleased with his weight because he loses too much speed when he gains pounds. During the fight itself, Pacquiao weighed 148 lbs, 17 pounds
lighter than Margarito's 165.[110]
Prior to the fight, Pacquiao's team demanded to the Texas officials to test Margarito for banned substances after a weight loss supplement,
reportedly Hydroxycut, was found in his locker. It was stated that the officials would undergo testing for both boxers after the fight. [111] In the fight,
Pacquiao defeated Margarito via unanimous decision, using his superior handspeed and movement to win his 8th world title in as many
divisions. In the penultimate round, Pacquiao implored referee Laurence Cole several times to stop the fight as Margarito had a swollen face and
a large cut beneath the right eye, but the referee let the fight continue. [112] Margarito had to be taken directly to the hospital after the fight, where
it was discovered his orbital bone had been fractured; he had to undergo surgery.[113]
On November 22, 2010, after winning world title in his eighth weight division, Pacquiao was awarded with another Congressional Medal of
Distinction from his fellow congressmen led by House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte during the ceremony at the Philippine House of
Representatives.[114]
Because Pacquiao had no plans to defend the WBC Light Middleweight title that he won against Margarito, the WBC Board of Governors voted
to declare the title vacant.[115]
Second return to welterweight
Pacquiao vs. Mosley
See also: Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley
On May 7, 2011, Pacquiao successfully defended his WBO Welterweight title against three-division world champion Shane Mosley via lopsided
unanimous decision at the MGM Grand Arena. Rapper LL Cool J performed as Mosley first entered the arena, while vocalist Jimi Jamison of the
rock band Survivor sang "Eye of the Tiger" as Pacquiao approached the ring. Pacquiao knocked Mosley down in the third round using a one-two
capped with a left straight. Mosley was left dazed by the knockdown but managed to stand up. [116] Mosley floored Pacquiao in the tenth round
with a push, but referee Kenny Bayless inexplicably ruled it a knockdown. None of the judges seemed to have bought it judging from the scores.
Replays showed that Pacquiao was throwing a punch off balance, had his right foot stepped on by Mosley's left foot and went down with a little
help from Mosley's right hand. Bayless apologized to Pacquiao after the fight for the mistake. Pacquiao gained one-sided verdicts from all three
judges – 119–108, 120–108 and 120–107.[117] Pacquiao reported that the only thing preventing him from knocking out Mosley was a cramp in his
legs. Freddie Roach said that Pacquiao had problems with cramping before but usually in training sessions and not in the middle of bouts. [118]
 After the fight, there was much controversy over Shane Mosley reportedly telling Floyd Mayweather that he should have made Pacquiao "take
the test."[119]
Bob Arum talked about having Pacquiao's next bout at the MGM Grand on November 5, 2011 or across town at the Thomas and Mack Center
on November 12, 2011. Arum listed Juan Manuel Márquez as the first choice and then mentioned Timothy Bradley and Zab Judah as other
options.[120]
Pacquiao vs. Márquez III
See also: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez III
Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum stated that a third meeting with Márquez could happen in November 2011, providing Pacquiao defeated his next opponent 
Shane Mosley on May 7. On May 10, Márquez accepted an offer from Top Rank to fight Pacquiao for his WBO Welterweight title at a catchweight of 144 pounds.
[121]
 On May 18, Márquez signed the deal to fight Pacquiao for the third time on November 12 at Las Vegas.
On November 12, Márquez lost to Pacquiao via majority decision by garnering scores 114–114, 115–113 & 116–112 from scorecards of three judges. Upon the
results being announced, the crowd reaction was largely negative with thousands continuing to boo[122] as Pacquiao spoke with Max Kellerman. Tim Smith of New
York's Daily News wrote that Márquez "was robbed of a decision by judges who were either blind or corrupt."[123] However, ringside punch stats showed Pacquiao
landing more strikes, 176 to 138, and landing more power punches, 117 to 100.[124] Michael Woods of ESPN stated that Márquez was not robbed noting the

Pacquiao vs. Bradley
See also: Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley
On February 5, Bob Arum announced Timothy Bradley as Pacquiao's next opponent on June 9 for his WBO Welterweight title, after another failed negotiation
attempt with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on Cinco De Mayo.[127] During the final press conference, WBO President Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel awarded Pacquiao with
WBO Diamond Ring in recognition of Pacquiao as the WBO Best Pound-for-Pound Fighter of the Decade.[128]
Pacquiao lost the bout in a controversial split decision, scoring 115-113, 113-115 and 113-115 from the three judges. The decision was booed by the crowd and 
criticized by many news outlets who were independently scoring the fight. However, Pacquiao was gracious in defeat and Bradley called for a rematch.
Following the decision, many analysts called the decision a corruption of the sport. ESPN.com scored the fight 119-109 for Pacquiao. HBO's unofficial judge, 
Harold Lederman, also had it 119-109 for Pacquiao. Most ringside media also scored the fight in favor of Pacquiao.[129]
Four days after the fight, Valcarcel said in a statement on June 13, 2012, that, though the WBO did not doubt the ability of the scoring judges, the WBO's
Championship Committee would review the video of the fight with five independent, competent and recognized international judges and make a
recommendation.[130] On June 21, 2012, the five WBO Championship Committee judges on the review panel announced that Pacquiao should have won his
controversial defeat, with all scoring the fight unanimously in Pacquiao's favor — 117-111, 117-111, 118-110, 116-112 and 115-113. However, the WBO cannot
overturn the result of the fight (only the NSAC would be able to do so), but recommended a rematch between the fighters.[131]

ats, all of which favored Pacquiao.[125] The decision was voted "Robbery of the Year," by The Ring magazine readers.[126]
See also: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Márquez IV
Pacquiao met Juan Manuel Márquez December 8, 2012, for a fourth time, in a non-title bout at welterweight. Pacquiao was knocked out with one second left in
the sixth round by a right to the jaw, giving Márquez the KO win.[132]
Pacquiao vs. Rios

After 11 months away from boxing, Pacquiao returned to the ring on November 24, 2013, at The Venetian Macao Hotel & Resort's CotaiArena in Macau of the 
Special administrative regions in China against The Ring ranked #6 Junior Welterweight: Brandon Ríos, for the vacant WBO International welterweight title. This
was Pacquiao's first fight to be held in China. Pacquiao won the match by unanimous decision.[133]
Pacquiao vs. Bradley II
See also: Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II
Following his victory over Rios, Pacquiao sought out and ultimately got a re-match with the WBO Welterweight Champion of the world: Timothy Bradley, who,
following his controversial win over Pacquiao in their first fight in 2012, had defended the title with a victory over Ruslan Provodnikov, followed by a close, but
clear split decision verdict over WBO 'Champion of the Decade': Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Márquez. The fight was eventually set for the date of April 12, 2014, at
the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In a tough fight, Pacquiao came on the stronger of the two fighters throughout the later rounds of the fight
to end up gaining a unanimous decision victory from the judges: 118-110, 116-112, 116-112.[134]

Pacquiao faced WBO Light Welterweight Champion Chris Algieri in Macau on November 23, 2014 for Pacquiao's welterweight title. Pacquiao dominated the bout
and scored six knockdowns en route to a lopsided victory via unanimous decision (119-103, 119-103 and 120-102).[135]

In December 2005 Pacquiao took his first lead role in Violett Films'Lisensyadong Kamao (Licensed Fist).[145] The movie is titled so

December 17, 2007, he taped his first episode of the networks infotainment show Pinoy Records.[148] His other projects with the
network included Totoy Bato and the sitcom Show Me Da Manny in which his mother, Dionesia, also appeared.
In 2012, American actor Sylvester Stallone was reportedly in talks with Pacquiao over co-starring in one of Stallone's future films,
which is in the planning stages. The project did not push through as no further updates were given after the initial report. [149]
In 2011, Pacquiao appeared on Tosh.0 in which he was paired in a fight with Daniel Tosh. It resulted in Pacquiao winning in one
punch.
On May 18, 2012, it was reported that Pacquiao will shoot his first Hollywood film after his June 9 fight with Tim Bradley. He will play
a gangster in this movie that will also feature other fighters and martial artists such as Hector Echavarria, Lyoto Machida, 
Anderson Silva and Frank Mir. Filipino-American Rob Schneider also confirmed the report in an interview that he'll be working with

2007 Election
On February 12, 2007, Pacquiao officially announced that he would be running for a seat in the
Philippine House of Representatives in the May 2007 legislative election, aiming to represent the 
1st District of South Cotabatoprovince. He would run as the candidate of the Liberal Party faction under
Manila mayor Lito Atienza that had affiliated with the government of PresidentGloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
[154]
 Pacquiao, who has himself been known to be supportive of the Arroyo government, said that he was
persuaded to run by local officials of General Santos City, who hoped he would act as a bridge between
their interests and the national government.[154] But after the Philippine Supreme Court declared null and
void all nominations of the Liberal Party faction under Atienza, Pacquiao ran under the Kabalikat ng
Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI), a pro-Arroyo political party. Pacquiao was defeated in the election by
incumbent Rep. Darlene Antonino-Custodio of the Nationalist People's Coalition, who said, "More than
anything, I think, people weren't prepared to lose him as their boxing icon." [155]

Controversy
Tax evasion case
On November 26, 2013, a few days after Pacquiao's victory
over Brandon Rios, the Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue
(BIR) issued a freeze order on all of Pacquiao's Philippine
bank accounts due to his having allegedly failed to pay ₱2.2
billion in taxes for earnings he made in his fights in the United
States from 2008 to 2009. A day after the bank account freeze,
the BIR also issued an order to freeze all of Pacquiao's
Philippine properties, whereupon Pacquiao presented
documents to the press showing the income tax for non-
resident alien payment by his promoter to the BIR's US
counterpart, the Internal Revenue Service, as well as a letter
from Bob Arum.[187]
