Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao CLH (locally [pɐkˈjaʊ]; born December 17, 1978) is a Filipino politician and former professional boxer.[5] Nicknamed "PacMan", he is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional boxers of all time.[6][7][8][9] He previously served as a senator of the Philippines from 2016 to 2022.
Pacquiao is the only eight-division world champion in the history of boxing and has won twelve major world titles.[10][11] He was the first boxer to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes,[12][13][14] the first boxer to win major world titles in four of the eight "glamour divisions" (flyweight, featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight),[15][16][17] and is the only boxer to hold world championships across four decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s).[18] In July 2019, Pacquiao became the oldest welterweight world champion in history at the age of 40,[19] and the first boxer in history to become a recognized four-time welterweight champion after defeating Keith Thurman to win the WBA (Super) welterweight title.[20] As of 2015, Pacquiao's fights had generated $1.2 billion in revenue from his 25 pay-per-view bouts.[21] According to Forbes, he was the second highest paid athlete in the world in 2012 and 2015, and the eighth highest paid athlete of the 2010s.[22][23][24]
Pacquiao entered politics in 2010 when he was elected as the representative of Sarangani. He held this post for six years until he was elected and assumed office as a senator in 2016. He became the leader of then-ruling PDP–Laban party in 2020 (which is disputed since 2021).[25][26] On September 19, 2021, Pacquiao officially declared his candidacy for President of the Philippines in the 2022 Philippine presidential election; he ended up losing to Bongbong Marcos.[27][28]
Outside of boxing and politics, Pacquiao was the head coach and a player for the Philippine Basketball Association team Kia/Mahindra for three seasons from 2014 to 2017, before founding the semi-professional Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League. He has also starred in films and has presented television shows. In music, he has released multiple PARI-certified platinum albums and songs; his cover of "Sometimes When We Touch" peaked at 19 in the United States on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart after a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[29] He is an Evangelical Christian preacher, philanthropist, and entrepreneur.
