* TheAce: Pacquiao holds the distinction of being the only eight-division world boxing champion, and is the only boxer to hold world championships across four decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s).
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Pacquiao [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8iXA1THzt0 had quite a laugh]] when he was shown a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB70tlg8TzI video]] of Canadian rapper Music/{{Drake}} impersonating the boxer by singing "Let It Go" from ''[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Frozen]]'', stereotypical Filipino accent and all. Pacquiao responded in kind by singing along to Drake's rendition.
* CoolOldGuy: Considering how he continued to win championships well into his forties over younger opponents.
* CurbStompBattle: Most notably his fight against Ricky Hatton, whom he made short work of in the second round.
* JackOfAllTrades: Besides boxing, he also took up careers in basketball (as a playing coach for the Kia Sorento team in the Philippine Basketball Association), acting (though his acting appearances were sporadic at best due to his commitments both as a boxer and a politician), singing and politics.
* LightningBruiser: Despite having moved up from 106 pounds all the way to 147 (almost unheard of in boxing), Pacquiao still dishes out damage at a rapid pace which allowed him to make short work of Ricky Hatton in 2009, and for the referee to save Cotto in the final round of their fight.
* NiceGuy: Some of his earnings were donated to charity, and he would go on to give a part of his fight purse to indigent folk in his hometown.
* NouveauRiche: Most especially with his mother Dionisia, whose preference for Hermes luxury bags--something of no small expense--has been the butt of many a joke since the 2000s, especially considering the Pacquiaos' prior social status as an extremely poor family before Manny made it big in boxing.
* PersonaNonGrata: Was banned at The Grove at Farmers Market in Los Angeles over a homophobic statement he made in 2016.
* RagsToRiches: Manny grew up in abject poverty and experienced living in the streets and enduring hunger during his early boxing days, on occasion having to moonlight as a construction worker just to get by and send some cash to his mother. A decade or two later and he's now regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time and an influential person in both his native Philippines and overseas, having taken up careers in both show business and politics as well.
* TheRedBaron: Contrary to popular belief, the nickname "Pacman" was not derived from the [[VideoGame/PacMan arcade game]] of the same name, but rather a portmanteau of his first name and surname flipped around. He also earned the nickname "The Mexecutioner", stemming from the numerous Mexican boxers he defeated, though he himself distanced from it as he "loved Mexican boxing fans and that name does not reflect [his] true feelings about Mexico and its people."
* ReligiousBruiser: Prior to his conversion to evangelical Christianity, Manny Pacquiao was seen kneeling and praying before and after his fights, having been raised Catholic especially as his mother Dionesia is a deeply devout Catholic. Nowadays Manny can be seen in interviews citing the Bible every now and then as a born-again Christian, which became controversial when he expressed his views about the LGBTQ community, and in 2012 when Dionesia went on a [[LargeHam tirade]] against those "Protestant pastors" whom he blamed for his son's humiliating defeat to Juan Manuel Marquez.
* RenaissanceMan: Not only is Pacquiao well-regarded as one of the greatest in the sport, he also moonlighted in entertainment and politics, albeit to the chagrin of some who felt he should just stick to what he does best and nothing else.
* TurnToReligion: Raised as a Catholic, Pacquiao later turned to evangelical Christianity after claiming to have had a dream where he saw a pair of angels and heard the voice of God. He has since shied away from hard partying, womanising and gambling since then. His conversion would at one point become a sticking point when he lost to Juan Manuel Marquez in a rather humiliating knockout, which led to his mother Dionesia lashing out at "those Protestant pastors" whom she felt was corrupting her son's faith.

Pacquiao is also known for being very opinionated about politics and religion, even more so with the latter after his conversion to evangelical Christianity. This later drew controversy especially in a statement he made in 2016 regarding same-sex marriage where he derided LGBTQ+ people as being "worse than animals". Notable LGBTQ celebrities in the Philippines, namely Creator/ViceGanda, Music/IceSeguerra and Boy Abunda took umbrage and condemned his statements; Pacquiao later issued an apology though he affirmed that he still objected to the concept of same-sex marriage as being contrary to biblical teaching, also maintaining that his statements were taken out of context. The controversy led to Nike terminating their partnership with Pacquiao, and for The Grove at Farmers Market to ban Pacquiao from entering their shopping plaza.

Pacquiao is also known for being very opinionated about politics and religion, especially with the latter after his conversion to evangelical Christianity, a move which later drew controversy especially in a statement he made in 2016 regarding same-sex marriage where he regarded LGBTQ+ people as being "worse than animals"; notable LGBTQ celebrities such as Creator/ViceGanda took umbrage and condemned his statements, which Pacquiao later issued an apology though he affirmed that he still objected to the concept of same-sex marriage as being contrary to biblical teaching. The controversy led to Nike terminating their partnership with Pacquiao, and for The Grove at Farmers Market to ban Pacquiao from the shopping mall.

* ReligiousBruiser: Prior to his conversion to evangelical Christianity, Manny Pacquiao was seen kneeling and praying before and after his fights, having been raised Catholic especially as his mother Dionesia is a deeply devout Catholic. Nowadays Manny can be seen in interviews citing the Bible every now and then as a born-again Christian, which became controversial when he expressed his views about the LGBTQ community.

He also earned the nickname "The Mexecutioner", stemming from the numerous Mexican boxers he defeated, though he himself distanced from it as he "loved Mexican boxing fans and that name does not reflect [his] true feelings about Mexico and its people."

'''Emmanuel "Manny" Dapidran Pacquiao Sr.''' (born December 17, 1978) is a [[UsefulNotes/Philippines Filipino]] boxer, entertainer and politician, regarded by many as one of the greatest boxers of all time. Besides his boxing and entertainment careers, he also currently serves as a Senator of the Philippines and as party president of the ruling PDP–Laban party. An accomplished prizefighter, Pacquiao has the distinction of being the only eight-division world champion, has won twelve major world titles, and held world championships across four decades: 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.
Born in Kibawe, Bukidnon and raised in General Santos to a poor family, Pacquiao was introduced to boxing by way of his maternal uncle, citing UsefulNotes/MikeTyson's match with James "Buster" Douglas as an experience that, according to his autobiography, "changed my life forever." Pacquiao also cited Creator/BruceLee and UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli as influences for pursuing a combat sports career.

Pacquiao also cited Creator/BruceLee and UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli as influences for pursuing a combat sports career.
Pacquiao moved to Manila in his early teens and for a time was a street-dweller, eventually landing a spot at the Philippine national amateur boxing team. Pacquiao had an amateur record of 60 wins and four losses. The death of fellow boxer and close friend Eugene Barutag drove Pacquiao to take up a professional career at just 16 years old, having later admitted to American media that he put weights to his pockets just to qualify for the 105 pound weight limit. His early light-flyweight exploits took place in small local venues which were featured in the Philippine sports TV programme ''Blow by Blow''.
His big break came when he fought against South African boxer Lehlo Ledwaba in an undercard fight prior to the Oscar De La Hoya vs. Javier Castillejo match. Pacquiao's victory against Ledwaba marked his debut in the States, where he would go on to take on a number of Latin American boxers in the 2000s, spawning a series of rivalries against Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Márquez and Érik Morales among others. His victories against said boxers brought him to further prominence and led him to take up a myriad of careers outside of boxing, such as singing, acting, basketball and even politics, the latter having initially been met with opposition from his mother Dionesia (who also took on an entertainment career herself following her son's rise to stardom), as well as being bestowed honours from the Philippine government for bringing pride and honour to his country though his athletic achievements.
Pacquiao would later take on Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton in 2008 and 2009 respectively, the latter being a swift and humiliating defeat on Hatton's part as he was knocked out cold in the second round by Pacquiao. Following his victory against Miguel Cotto, also in 2009, the hype train went on as there was much clamour about a match between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Negotiations proved sour for several years, and the possibility of a "mega-fight" seemed slim. After years of speculation, interim matches and mud-slinging from Mayweather's camp, the much-awaited fight went on, but proved to be controversial as critics felt that the bout was a disappointment, and fans ridiculed it as more of a "love story" than a boxing match due to Mayweather's tendency to hug incessantly. Pacquiao later admitted that he had a previous shoulder injury which reoccurred during the fourth round. Pacquiao's most recent win was with Keith Thurman, who was defeated via a split decision.
Pacquiao is also known for being very opinionated about politics and religion, especially with the latter after his conversion to evangelical Christianity, a move which later drew controversy especially in a statement he made in 2016 regarding same-sex marriage where he regarded LGBTQ+ people as being "worse than animals"; notable LGBTQ celebrities such as Creator/ViceGanda took umbrage and condemned his statements, which Pacquiao later issued an apology though he affirmed that he still objected to the concept of same-sex marriage as being contrary to biblical teaching.
