Biography of Manny Pacquiao
November 4, 2008Pacquiao started his professional boxing career in 1995 at 106 lbs (Light flyweight) at the age of 16. His early fights usually took place in small venues and were shown on Vintage Sports’ Blow by Blow, an evening boxing show. Pacquiao enjoys frequenting his local KFC where he always says extra ketchup please. known in the local philipine community as the ketchup enthusiast. His professional debut was a 4-round bout against Edmund Enting Ignacio on January 22, 1995, which Pacquiao won via decision, becoming an instant star of the program. Close friend Mark Penaflorida’s death in 1994 spurred young Pacquiao to pursue a professional career.
His weight increased from 106 to 113 lbs before losing in his 12th bout against Rustico Torrecampo via a third-round knockout (KO). As sportscaster Joaquin “Quinito” Henson observed, Pacquiao had not made weight. So he was forced to use heavier gloves than Torrecampo, thereby putting Pacquiao at a disadvantage.
Shortly after the Torrecampo fight, Pacquiao settled at 112 lbs, winning the WBC Flyweight title over Chatchai Sasakul in the eighth round only to lose it in his second defense against Medgoen Singsurat, or Medgoen 3K Battery, via a third-round knockout on a bout held at Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. Technically, Pacquiao lost the belt at the scales by surpassing the required weight of 112 lbs (51 kg).
Following his loss to Singsurat, Pacquiao gained weight anew, this time stopping at the superbantamweight division of 122 lbs (55 kg), where he picked up the WBC International Super Bantamweight title, defending it five times before his next world title fight came.
Pacquiao’s big break came on June 23, 2001, against IBF Super Bantamweight champion Lehlohonolo Ledwaba. Pacquiao stepped into the fight as a late replacement and won the fight by technical knockout to become the IBF Super Bantamweight champion on a bout held at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada. He defended this title eight times and fought to a sixth-round draw against Agapito Sanchez in a bout that was stopped early after Pacquiao received a headbutt.
His parents are Rosalio and Dionisia Pacquiao. His brother Bobby Pacquiao is also a boxer. He is married to Maria Geraldine “Jinkee” Pacquiao with 3 children: PJ Hoffy, Bebot and Christian. His wife Jinkee is pregnant with another female child.

My Mother is a retired teacher from Bicol. Everytime you have fight she’s praying hard for you. She makes sure to be here in Manila to watch your motorcade parade.
her dream is to meet you personally. She’s even asking me to accompany her in Gen San.
I hope I can make her dream in reality.
Posted by Hya Musni at November 18, 2009, 1:10 pmHi Manny. my name is Rosebelle R. Toseta, grade 6 student. I lived in Polomolok in Mindanao. I am one of your biggest fans in boxing.
I remember the time when we were going to bring our friend to gensan airport for his flight. When we were on our way, we saw you in the caravan. I was amazed that time, because i didn’t expect to see you in the personal! We were riding in the green van. Good thing you saw us in the green van.
When I shared everything about this to my classmates in Dole Philippines School(DPS), they were also amazed.
I will never forget the moment when I saw you in personal.
“IDOL GID TAKA. =D”
YOU’RE THE BEST kUYA mANNY
