Pacquiao was introduced to boxing at the age of 12 by his maternal uncle Sardo Mejia. According to his autobiography, Pacquiao said watching Mike Tyson's defeat of James "Buster" Douglas in 1990 with his Uncle Sardo as an experience that, "changed my life forever". Mejia began training his nephew in a makeshift home gym. After 6 months of training, Pacquiao began boxing in a park in General Santos, eventually traveling to other cities to fight higher-ranked opponents. By age 15, he was considered the best junior boxer in the southern Philippines and he moved to [[Manila]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web|date=May 2, 2015|title=Boxer Manny Pacquiao's incredible rags to riches story|url=https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/1781556/boxer-manny-pacquiaos-incredible-rags-riches-story|access-date=June 24, 2020|website=South China Morning Post|language=en|archive-date=June 25, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200625031449/https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/1781556/boxer-manny-pacquiaos-incredible-rags-riches-story|url-status=live}}</ref> In January 1995, at the age of 16, he made his professional boxing debut as a junior flyweight.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title=Manny Pacquiao {{!}} Biography, Facts, & Notable Fights|url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Manny-Pacquiao|access-date=June 24, 2020|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en|archive-date=July 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200707192100/https://www.britannica.com/biography/Manny-Pacquiao|url-status=live}}</ref>

He facilitated on September 18, 2016, the ouster of [[Leila de Lima]] (a Duterte critic) from the chairmanship of the Senate Justice committee and criticized de Lima's presentation three days later of an alleged member of the [[Davao Death Squad]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Pacquiao moves to oust De Lima as Senate chair of justice committee - YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrU_Wv99bxM|access-date=July 29, 2020|website=www.youtube.com|archive-date=August 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200811210750/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrU_Wv99bxM|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=From one newbie to another: Pacquiao 'lectures' De Lima on rules - YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FycRWImKbjc|access-date=July 29, 2020|website=www.youtube.com|archive-date=August 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200811210856/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FycRWImKbjc|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Kerwin links De Lima to drug trade, says Pacquiao (<span class="ltr">2</span>) - YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS49d1RqnvQ|access-date=July 29, 2020|website=www.youtube.com|archive-date=September 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909032850/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS49d1RqnvQ|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{cite web|title=Jailed Philippine Senator: 'I Won't Be Silenced Or Cowed'|url=https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/06/24/533794081/jailed-philippine-senator-i-wont-be-silenced-or-cowed|access-date=July 29, 2020|website=NPR|language=en|archive-date=July 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200729101304/https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/06/24/533794081/jailed-philippine-senator-i-wont-be-silenced-or-cowed|url-status=live}}</ref>

In another Senate hearing, Pacquiao defended then-Davao City Vice Mayor [[Paolo Duterte]] from allegations of having a part, along with the vice mayor's alleged drinking buddy Charlie Tan and Kenneth Dong, in a 2017 seized [[Philippine peso|₱]]6.4-billion shipment of illegal drugs from Xiamen, China, into the Philippines.<ref>{{cite web|date=October 9, 2021|title=De Lima laments how Pacquiao defended Paolo for having photos with Dong {{!}} Inquirer News|url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/928967/de-lima-laments-how-pacquiao-defended-paolo-for-having-photos-with-dong|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211009053904/https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/928967/de-lima-laments-how-pacquiao-defended-paolo-for-having-photos-with-dong|archive-date=October 9, 2021|access-date=October 29, 2021}}</ref>

During the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] in 2020, Pacquiao worked with [[Alibaba Group]] co-founder [[Jack Ma]] to help bring to the Philippines 50,000 [[COVID-19 testing|COVID-19 test kits]] through their respective charity foundations.<ref>{{cite web|title=MANNY PACQUIAO TEAMS UP WITH ALIBABA CO-FOUNDER JACK MA TO PROVIDE 50,000 CORONAVIRUS TEST KITS TO THE PHILIPPINES|url=https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/manny-pacquiao-teams-up-with-alibaba-co-founder-jack-ma-to-provide-50000-coronavirus-test-kits-to-the-philippines/1kxsckcz7sbce1jl6ljqd4f448|website=DAZN NEWS|date=March 18, 2020 |access-date=April 6, 2020|archive-date=January 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210122160808/https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/manny-pacquiao-teams-up-with-alibaba-co-founder-jack-ma-to-provide-50000-coronavirus-test-kits-to-the-philippines/1kxsckcz7sbce1jl6ljqd4f448|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|title=BOC expedites release of 57,000 Pacquiao-Jack Ma COVID-19 test kits|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/nation/731545/boc-expedites-release-of-57-000-pacquiao-jack-ma-covid-19-test-kits/story/|work=GMA News|access-date=April 6, 2020|archive-date=March 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200328142609/https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/nation/731545/boc-expedites-release-of-57-000-pacquiao-jack-ma-covid-19-test-kits/story/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In December 2020, Pacquiao became acting party president of [[PDP–Laban]], the ruling political party, when [[Koko Pimentel]] resigned. However, the position will eventually become disputed between Pacquiao and Energy Secretary [[Alfonso Cusi]]. [[Alfonso Cusi]]'s faction through a vote decided that Pacquiao is no longer party president of PDP–Laban on July 17. Melvin Matibag, the deputy secretary-general of PDP–Laban, defended the vote, saying it was organized because the term limits of the party's officials had already expired.<ref>{{cite news |last=Morales |first=Neil Jerome |title=Philippines' Pacquiao ousted as president of ruling party after row |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippines-pacquiao-ousted-president-ruling-party-after-row-2021-07-17/ |access-date=July 17, 2021 |work=Reuters |date=July 17, 2021 |language=en-US |archive-date=July 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210717115338/https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippines-pacquiao-ousted-president-ruling-party-after-row-2021-07-17/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Pacquiao is still regarded by his faction as party president.<ref name=stillpresident/>

In May 2021, Senator Pacquiao filed a bill proposing to create the Philippine Boxing and Combat Sports Commission. The move, however, was lambasted by Senator [[Pia Cayetano]] who criticized the timing of the proposal in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Pacquiao earlier already tried filing the bill during the [[17th Congress of the Philippines|17th Congress]] when Pacquiao and Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] made headlines after Pacquiao called out the latter and senior legislator to use his "common sense" during an interpellation about the topic while Pacquiao was apparently being coached by his advisers after struggling to answer Drilon.<ref>{{cite web |title=Drilon schools Pacquiao on 'very basic' principles |date=March 15, 2017 |url=https://rappler.com/nation/164301-drilon-schools-pacquiao-basic-principles-senate/ |publisher=Rappler |access-date=March 15, 2017 |archive-date=March 15, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170315175617/http://www.rappler.com/nation/164301-drilon-schools-pacquiao-basic-principles-senate |url-status=live }}</ref>

In May 2022, Pacquiao called for the "speedy release" of fellow Senator [[Leila De Lima]], who had been detained for five years, after witnesses against De Lima retracted their testimony. Pacquiao had earlier been vocal about De Lima's supposed links to a purported drug lord, Kerwin Espinosa, an allegation that led to De Lima's arrest and detention.

As early as June 2020, Pacquiao's former promoter [[Bob Arum]] declared that the senator expressed that he will run in 2022 in a conversation with him uttering  "Bob, I'm gonna run in 2022 and, when I win, I want you there at my inauguration.'"

In June 2021, he expressed belief that Duterte's response towards China's claims in the South China Sea was lacking. Duterte rebuked Pacquiao for the statement, saying the latter lacked knowledge in foreign policy. The President also responded to a claim attributed to Pacquiao that the Duterte administration is more corrupt than those by his predecessors; Duterte challenged Pacquiao to name certain individuals or agencies, otherwise he will launch a negative campaign against the senator in the [[2022 Philippine general election|2022 elections]].<ref name=riftwidens/>

A month after being asked about the possibility of him running in the postgame interview after losing his final boxing match against [[Yordenis Ugas]], Pacquiao officially announced his presidential bid on September 19, 2021, during the National Assembly of the [[PDP–Laban]], organized by his faction.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/32235051/manny-pacquiao-launches-bid-philippine-presidency|title = Pacquiao launches bid for Philippine presidency|date = September 19, 2021|access-date = September 19, 2021|archive-date = September 19, 2021|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210919121007/https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/32235051/manny-pacquiao-launches-bid-philippine-presidency|url-status = live}}</ref> On October 1, he formally registered his candidacy under the Cebu-based party [[PROMDI]].<ref name="OctReg">{{cite web |title= Pacquiao makes Philippines presidential run official |url= https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippines-kicks-off-election-season-under-pandemic-cloud-2021-09-30/ |work= Reuters |first= Karen |last= Lema |date= October 1, 2021 |access-date= October 1, 2021 |archive-date= October 1, 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20211001011441/https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippines-kicks-off-election-season-under-pandemic-cloud-2021-09-30/ |url-status= live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Feuding PDP-Laban factions at it again, this time over Pacquiao's COC filing under PROMDI |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/03/21/pdp-laban-factions-bicker-over-pacquiaos-coc-filing-under-promdi |publisher=ABS-CBN |date=October 3, 2021 |access-date=October 9, 2021 |archive-date=October 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211009092819/https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/03/21/pdp-laban-factions-bicker-over-pacquiaos-coc-filing-under-promdi |url-status=live }}</ref> This was in accordance with the "MP3 Alliance" established by PDP Laban under Pacquiao's faction with PROMDI, and the People's Champ Movement.<ref>{{cite news |title=Pimentel: Pacquiao's PROMDI candidacy meant to solidify bases |url=https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2021/10/5/Pimentel-Pacquiao-PROMDI-president-PDP-Laban.html |access-date=October 9, 2021 |work=CNN Philippines |date=October 5, 2021 |language=en |archive-date=October 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211009085753/https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2021/10/5/Pimentel-Pacquiao-PROMDI-president-PDP-Laban.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Cusi in response to Pacquiao's filing of candidacy under PROMDI decided that he is no longer a member of PDP-Laban.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Servallos |first1=Neil Jayson |title=PDP-Laban's Cusi wing expels Pacquiao |url=https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2021/10/04/2131606/pdp-labans-cusi-wing-expels-pacquiao |access-date=October 9, 2021 |work=The Philippine Star |date=October 4, 2021 |archive-date=October 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211009085752/https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2021/10/04/2131606/pdp-labans-cusi-wing-expels-pacquiao |url-status=live }}</ref>

His platforms include solving corruption and a promise of nationwide housing projects for the poor.

===Acting and hosting career===
[[File:Manny Pacman Pacquiao 1.jpg|thumb|Pacquiao in 2009]]
With growing fame, Pacquiao became a celebrity and was obligated to start his acting and hosting career with [[guest appearance]]s on [[ABS–CBN Corporation|ABS-CBN]] shows. He signed a contract as an actor & host with [[ABS-CBN]] short-after.{{cn|date=May 2024}}

In December 2005, Pacquiao took his first lead role in Violett Films' ''Lisensyadong Kamao'' (Licensed Fist). The film is titled so because (according to director Tony Bernal), being a boxer, Pacquiao is licensed to use his hands.<ref name=":3">{{cite web|last=Phillip|first=Rachel|date=April 8, 2021|title=How Much Is Net Worth Of Manny Pacquiao 2021?|url=https://theirnetworth.com/manny-pacquiao-net-worth/|access-date=November 24, 2021|website=Their Net Worth|language=en-US|archive-date=November 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211124095949/https://theirnetworth.com/manny-pacquiao-net-worth/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Controversies==
=== Taxation issues ===
On November 26, 2013, a few days after Pacquiao's victory over Brandon Ríos, the Philippine [[Bureau of Internal Revenue (Philippines)|Bureau of Internal Revenue]] (BIR) issued a freeze order on all of Pacquiao's Philippine bank accounts due to his alleged failure to pay ₱2.2 billion in taxes for earnings he made in his fights in the United States from 2008 to 2009. A day after the bank account freeze, the BIR also issued an order to freeze all of Pacquiao's Philippine properties, whereupon Pacquiao presented documents to the press showing the income tax for non-resident alien payment by his [[Top Rank|promoter]] to the BIR's US counterpart, the [[Internal Revenue Service]] (IRS), as well as a letter from [[Bob Arum]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/337272/economy/moneyandbanking/pacquiao-shows-us-tax-document-but-bir-says-it-has-no-proof-of-payment|title=Pacquiao shows US tax document but BIR says it has no proof of payment|work=GMA News|access-date=November 28, 2013|archive-date=December 3, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203011636/http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/337272/economy/moneyandbanking/pacquiao-shows-us-tax-document-but-bir-says-it-has-no-proof-of-payment|url-status=live}}</ref> In April 2017, Pacquiao, now a senator, approached Philippine authorities in an attempt to settle the case.

=== Homosexuality comments ===
In February 2016, Pacquiao, in a video statement posted by [[TV5 (Philippines)|TV5]], made a comment on the issue of same-sex marriage.
