His story is very inspirational. He was dirt poor, living in the streets and doing odd jobs until he found boxing and made it big. Most of all, it's his humility, graciousness and generosity that made him well-loved by fans all over the world.
Add the following;
1. Fighter of the last decade
2. Rags to riches life story
3. A humble man in and out of the ring
4. A fighting congressman
5. A singer though I bust my eardrums listening to his songs.
He is the only boxer that Floyd Mayweather has avoided to fight, continues to duck and will never fight in his lifetime just to keep his padded 0-loss record intact. LOL. The whole world knows, but his fans will continue to protect it for as long as he says so.
He's an icon for a country of millions. I don't think there has ever been a globally known Filipino like Pacman from any field.
Becoming a congresssmen and the voice of the people. He is seriously the real peoples champion.
*6 division. The RING and IBO titles don't count as world titles.
Help please? Beside having the 8 division world championship. What else..?
