From the dusty streets of General Santos City to the bright lights of Las Vegas, and now, to the hallowed halls of boxing’s greatest—the journey of Manny Pacquiao continues to inspire millions around the world.
In an emotional post shared after his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, the Filipino boxing legend looked back on his improbable rise, giving credit not just to his own determination, but to faith, family, and the unwavering support of fans.
“No shoes, no food, no chance, just a dream in my heart,” Pacquiao wrote. “I never imagined this moment, but by God’s grace, here we are.”
Pacquiao, widely considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, made it clear that this honor is not just about trophies or titles. “This is not just about boxing. It’s about faith. Family. Sacrifice. Purpose. It’s about every Filipino and every fan who believed in me, even when the doubters didn’t.”
He paid tribute to his wife, Jinkee, and their children, thanking them for standing by his side “through every high and every low.” He also acknowledged the countless coaches, fans, and members of the media who supported him throughout his career. “This is your victory too,” he said.
But perhaps the most powerful part of his message was directed at the next generation—especially those facing their own uphill battles. “Never let your situation limit your destiny. With God, nothing is impossible.”
Pacquiao closed with a message of unity and pride: “Mabuhay ang Pilipinas. This is our story. And the best is still to come.”
From humble beginnings to boxing immortality, Manny Pacquiao’s legacy isn’t just etched in records or titles—it’s engraved in the hearts of those who saw in him the hope that dreams, no matter how far-fetched, can come true.
