He dropped out of high school because of the family’s poor economic circumstance and left home at 14 and lived for a time on the streets. He began boxing and made the Philippine national amateur boxing team, which paid his room and board.
After compiling an impressive amateur record (reportedly 60-4), Pacquiao turned pro when he was only 16 years old and very small, 4’11” and 98 pounds. Beginning in 1995, Pacquiao won his first 11 fights over a year until he lost to in 1996 in a fight where he was forced to use heavy gloves because he failed to make the required weight. He would then go on a 15-bout win streak on his way to winning his first title.

His ongoing rivalry with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has made headlines for years, with the two iconic boxers so far unable to agree to terms of a mega-bout. Pacquiao has become a worldwide celebrity thanks to his exploits in the ring and he has parlayed that celebrity to a number of pursuits, including being elected to Congress in the Philippines. He is also an accomplished singer and has acted in a number of television shows and movies. His celebrity has earned him additional millions in endorsements.
