Early Life

Born on December 17th, 1978, in Kibawe, Bukidnon, Manny Pacquiao, whose full name is Emmanuel Dapridran Pacquiao, spent his early years with his parents and six siblings until his parents separated when he was in sixth grade. Inspired by Bruce Lee films and Muhammad Ali matches, Pacquiao developed an interest in combat sports from an early age. His family’s financial struggles forced him to leave high school. At 14, he commenced his boxing journey, leaving home to support his mother and siblings, as he recognized boxing as a means to survive on the streets.

By age 16, he had turned professional despite having already made the national Filipino team at 14. The government sponsored his living expenses, and he boasted an amateur record of 60 victories against just four losses. Standing at 4’11” and weighing 98 pounds, young Manny Pacquiao faced legal restrictions regarding fighting. He later confessed to placing weights in his socks during weigh-ins to qualify for matches. His professional debut came against Edmund Ignacio, where he claimed victory in the light flyweight category.

An early defeat to Rustico Torrecampo did not deter Pacquiao, as he went on to win his subsequent 15 fights. His first significant title was earned by defeating Chatchai Sasakul, and he captured the super bantamweight title in 2001. In 2003, he entered the featherweight division for the first time, achieving a TKO against Antonio Barrera in the eleventh round. To challenge Erik Morales, Pacquiao advanced to super featherweight in 2005. Although he lost to Morales initially, he secured victory in their rematch in 2006, successfully defending his title against multiple challengers and defeating Morales once more later that year.

In 2008, Pacquiao transitioned to the lightweight division, claiming his…

In 2009, Pacquiao transitioned to light welterweight to face Ricky Hatton, resulting in his emergence as a six-division champion. Continuing his journey in the welterweight class, Pacquiao aimed for a new challenge in the form of Floyd Mayweather.

Initially, negotiations for a match with Mayweather fell through, yet Pacquiao spent the subsequent five years battling various fighters, accumulating additional titles throughout. Ultimately, the two competitors faced off in 2015, where Pacquiao suffered a controversial defeat. Following a brief retirement after this fight, he made a comeback to professional boxing, achieving several more victories, although Mayweather declined to arrange a rematch.

In 2010, he shifted to a different district and achieved victory. Following his success in Filipino politics, Pacquiao aimed for a Senate seat in 2016, winning and remaining actively engaged in the political landscape of his homeland.

Entertainment Career

Beyond his pursuits in sports and politics, Manny Pacquiao has established a successful career in the entertainment sector. While his appearances have primarily been in Filipino films, he has made an appearance on Tosh.0 as well. There have also been rumors about his potential involvement in Hollywood films.

Personal Life

In 1999, Manny wed his wife Jinkee. Together, they have five children. Their daughter, Mary Divine Grace, has gained popularity as a YouTube personality in the Philippines. One son pursues boxing as an amateur, while another is involved in rapping.

Real Estate

Manny and Jinkee acquired a home in LA’s Hancock Park neighborhood for $2 million in 2009. The house, constructed just a year prior to their residency, has been put up for sale intermittently. In November 2021, they listed the property for $4.5 million.

In mid-2015, Manny Pacquiao invested $12.5 million to purchase the former Beverly Hills mansion of Diddy. His purchase included not only the house but all the furnishings within the 10,000-square-foot estate. He received the home fully furnished, including the art pieces and appliances already in place. The sellers even consented to leave the bar fully stocked with alcohol.

Diddy resided in this home from the mid-90s until 2001. He acquired the property out of foreclosure for $436,000 and later sold it in June 2001 for $2.3 million. The mansion changed hands again in 2012 for $4.8 million, representing a substantial reduction from the $8 million asking price during 2008, just prior to the global economic downturn.

Featuring seven bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms, the mansion occupies a 30,000-square-foot lot. It includes a gourmet chef’s kitchen, spas in the his-and-her bathrooms, and a $200,000 home theater that accommodates 20 guests.
