“As you know, all my life I’ve had to fight. When I was a child, I had to fight just to eat,” said Pacquiao. “That was my background so when I fight, Filipinos call me bayani or hero. [But] the biggest fight of my life is not in boxing. The biggest fight of my life is to end poverty in my country. That’s the biggest fight in my life.” -Pacquiao
I got mad respect for him not just because he’s Filipino but because he never forgot where he came from, no matter how rich and famous he got.
Since the fight, he is always the topic of discussion on our dinner table.
