Look into the eyes of the little Filipino spitfire named Manny Pacquiao and you’ll see that he’s a person eager to please those around him. Playfully known as the "Pac-Man" for his ability to gobble up his opposition he has a distinctly boyish charm about him. He possesses an endearing, obedient smile and clear, innocent eyes.
While he scales a mere 130 pounds he carries the weight of his nation and some think, the very world of boxing on his narrow shoulders. To say that he is the most sought after boxer on the face of the planet is no understatement. Everybody, it seems, wants their piece of Manny Pacquiao. His Filipino countrymen support him with fervent rallies and he is regarded as a national treasure. Every punch he throws is for all classes of people in the Philippines – the rich and the poor. Pacquiao is their hero and he brings them together in unison. He is theirs and they are his.
Inside a boxing ring he is an electric performer with few equals who has an innate ability to excite the masses. But outside the ropes when they present him with contracts written in English with paragraphs of promises written by Philadelphia lawyers and Harvard businessmen – he is no match. In the dank cave where professional boxing skulks it surprises no one that the trolls lurking in the shadows have taken every opportunity to sink their fangs into this little star. [details]
