Pacquiao On Going From Sleeping On The Streets To Becoming World Champion

Manny Pacquiao’s story from rags to riches is one of legend and it is something he always uses for motivation even now.

As he gets ready for his next fight on July 19th he is now 46 and still an active professional boxer.

Now a Hall of Famer as well mind you.

Pacquiao Speaks On First Time He Trained With Freddie Roach Ahead Of Comeback Fight At 46

Speaking to ‘Cigar Talk’ Pacquiao said:

“It’s hard to imagine—sleeping in the streets on cardboard with little food sometimes, and then becoming famous, a world champion. It’s crazy. That’s what I’m talking about—I tell them with God, all things are possible. God can determine our future.”

Pacquiao takes on Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight championship of the world next up on July 19th.

The fight takes place in Vegas and sees Pacquiao look to try to become the second oldest champion in history.

He’s back with legendary trainer Freddie Roach and the two are working well at the moment.
