MANNY PACQUIAO is THE BILLION-PESO MAN, Earnings in Less Than EIGHT YEARS

One of the finest RAGS-TO-RICHES Story I've read and what's really amazing is that the guy in the story is a Filipino in the form of MANNY PACQUIAO. With a sure fee of $ 15M he'll get in the De la Hoya fight on Dec. 6, 2008 plus the earnings he'd earned since his U.S. debut in 2001 Manny Pacquiao becomes the first Filipino athlete to earn more than a billion pesos from the boxing sport in a span of only eight years ! wow ! and that doesn't even include Manny's commercial endorsements on TV and print-ads.

Among his biggest clients are Nike and San Miguel Corporation. He has also endorsed Motolite, No Fear, Alaxan, Philippine Airlines, Smart and Extreme Magic Sing, among others.

Here are some snapshots I made of Manny Pacquiao's TV endorsement circa 2006

Figures earned from the television broadcast of his fights and other TV shows are also not included.

Needless to say, Pacquiao’s income easily surpasses those of other Filipino professionals such as Efren "Bata" Reyes, golfers Frankie Miñoza, and Jennifer Rosales and top basketball players, most of whom haven’t probably gotten past the P50 million mark.
