Manny Pacquiao, the boxing superstar who recently won for the WBO Welterweight title on Sunday, November 6 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas over an American boxer Jesse Vargas does not only have a golden fist, but a golden heart, too towards the less fortunate.
In an interview, the 'Pambansang Kamao' said: “Every income I receive in boxing, almost half of it goes to the less fortunate. After each fight, half of my income goes to the poor. But I don’t like to announce it.”
According to Forbes, Manny's income from career purses and endorsements is around $500 million. Half of that goes to the less fortunate.
Along with his many projects, Manny has built 1,500 homes on the island of Mindanao. He also helped to buy a fleet of new boats for fishermen in a coastal community.
The boxing icon says he needs to keep fighting so he can continue the charity work that has done throughout much of his 21-year boxing career.
