There are fewer bigger names in boxing than that of Manny Pacquiao.
The Filipino maestro is the only eight-division world champion in the history of the sport and has been part of some of the most lucrative fights in history.
The diminutive 42-year-old has some of the fastest hands out there and, having grown up in the midst of frightfully difficult circumstances, has carved out an incredible career for himself.
Fights with Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Juan Manuel Marquez all proved to be big money spinners but his fight with Floyd Mayweather in 2015 eclipsed the lot.
Cleverly branded ‘The Fight of the Century’, Pacquiao’s clash with Mayweather garnered intense global attention.
Pay-per-views were selling like hot cakes all over the world making the fight one of the highest grossing events in the history of all combat sports.

Pacquiao now spends his time in politics in his home nation but is yet to officially retire from the fight game, with rumours starting to grow that he could make a sensational return later this year.
While we wait for official confirmation of that, we thought we would have a quick run through of his biggest career earning as well as his net worth.
