Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao began his career in 1995, at age 16. He won his first couple of fights, before bumping into Rusitca Torrencampo. Torrencampo scored a third round KO over Manny, but the replay clearly showed that Torrencampo hit Manny below the belt. Manny went forward with his career, before fighting Chokchai Chockvivat for the OPBF Flyweight title. A few fights later in December of 1998, Pacquiao fought WBC flyweight champion Chatchai Sasakul. The fight was a very even fight, the champion was elusive, and was a good counter puncher. Pacquiao won by KO in round eight after which Sasakul did not get up for a few minutes. Pacquiao's next noteworthy assignment came when he fought Lehlanlahlo Ledwaba for the IBF 122 lb title. Pacquiao came as a late sub on a few weeks notice and dominated the fight, knocking out the champ in six rounds. Manny made a string of IBF defenses before, moving up in weight and fighting [[Marco Antonio Barrera]]. Pacquiao boxed well and his southpaw style seemed to be troubling Barrera. Pacquiao knocked down barrera three times in this fight. After this Pacquiao fought [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round. However, Marquez did come back to win many of the latter rounds. and secure a draw. Pacquiao was then signed for a match with Erik Morales, at 130 pounds after a rematch with Marquez never materialized, because of Marquez demanding far too much money. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, [[Erik Morales]] won a slim descision against Manny; winning on all three judges scorecards by scores of 115-113.

He came back from the Morales defeat to knockout Hector Velasquez in 6 rounds. In January 2006, Pacquiao scored one of the biggest victories of his career, when he stopped Erik Morales in the 10th round of their rematch.

Pacquiao is extraordinarily popular in the Philippines, where he is currently the most popular athlete in his country. Pacquiao has branched into acting in Filipino movies. He is also coveted by Filipino politicians who shower him with praise after his victories, in order to gain access to him and convey an image of support, for their own political gain.
