Just like that, 5 minutes and 59 seconds, and Manny Pacquiao pocketed US$12 Million, which roughly translates to half a billion pesos. And there’s more, much more from advertisements, endorsements, pay-per-vew, gate receipts, show licenses, etc.
If I were Manny, I think I’ll buy myself a yacht (or two) that’s better and more luxurious than that of Willy’s and travel luxuriously all over the world. Maybe I’d also buy an island and have it made just like one of those Aman resorts. Of course I’ll have the new Mercedes Benz S-Class AMG for everyday use. And on weekends, I’ll choose between my SLR McLaren or my Ferrari Enzo. I can have the best of everything until I die. The best cars, mansions, watches, jewelry, shoes and clothes, even the best weight loss pills and the best personal chefs and trainers. I could have it all.
But before all that, I’d set up a foundation to help the needy. I’d start with those boxing champs whose living a destitute life. A scholarship for the kids. I don’t need to choose the brightest kid; I’ll help every kid that wants a good education. With all that money, I can do something for them, make their lives better, to somehow give back all the blessings I’d been given.
What will do you if you’re as blessed as Manny?
My sister would always joke that in feng shui, Manny Pacquiao is really destined to become rich - Because “Money” na, “Pakyaw” pa. Hehehe!
Posted by glenda at May 4, 2009, 11:54 am12 million and more yet he still wants to run for congress in gensan (tsk tsk)… which i wouldnt do if i were manny. i’ll run for presidency instead hehehe
Posted by kaka at May 4, 2009, 1:20 pmit’s better for him not to run in congress but still can help his people. politics has become dirty and would remain so.
i just wonder if manny ever had difficulty where he’ll put his bilyones.

Posted by sheng at May 6, 2009, 2:56 pmI’ll keep $1 million for myself and another $1 million for my friends and my immediate family. The rest I’m going to give to the poor people of the Philippines.
Bitin ang laban ni Manny! Dapat isauli ang bayad sa PPV hehehe…

I’d build a GK Village for “those boxing champs whose living a destitute life”.

I thought he was going to get $20M according to CNN’s Talk Asia…nevertheless, $12M is still a huge sum of money
