Who does not know Manny Pacquiao these days? I bet everyone does. After all he is the greatest fighter of this generation. This man's humble beginning is known to his millions of fans around the world. Everyone knows that he comes from a very poor family. He was not able to finish high school due to extreme poverty. He does not hide the fact that during those times, he would often skip meals because food was not enough for all of them or worse, there was no food at all. But instead of making poverty a hindrance, Pacquiao made it his motivation in sport. He wanted to be a champion, not to benefit himself but to help his family. He wanted to give his mother and his siblings a good life. By the time he got married and had children, Pacquiao became even more determined to achieve all of his dreams. And with the hard work that he puts in training, in the end, he was rewarded. Today, he is recognized as the most powerful figure in sports.
