Manny Dapidran Pacquiao has journeyed through so many faiths, it’s hard to keep track. He was raised Roman Catholic by his mother Dionesia. At one point in his boxing career, he became Protestant and was seen in the company of Protestant pastors.
When he lost to Juan Miguel Marquez in December 2012, his mother blamed it on his Protestantism. “Since the Protestant pastors came into his life, he has not focused on his boxing,” she was quoted in the news as saying. Faith became her convenient scapegoat, not so much that Pacquiao, according to an ESPN report, was having marital problems around that time.
When Pacquiao faced Bradley in April, he was wearing a new religion on his sleeves. He had become a born-again Christian. He has reportedly given up his previous lifestyle of excess and is devoting himself to Bible studies with the help of a spiritual adviser.
