10 Things you probably did not know about Manny Pacquiao

#9 $2 per match

Manny turned professional when he was 17 years old and ended up being a star in the Philippines boxing circuit in no time. It was the weekly television show called ‘Blow by Blow’ that gave him the fame and the money that Manny earned for each match was just $2. And from that fee he sent half to his mother.

He suffered his first defeat in his 12th match and it was also his first professional knockout. Two years later, at the age of 19, Manny won the WBC flyweight championship by beating Chatchai Sasakul in Thailand. This proved to be the career changer for Manny and he earned almost $100 Million for his fight against Mayweather. Calculate the difference between $2 and $100 million that is how success tastes.
