Trailer Synopsis Cast

From abject poverty to becoming a ten-time boxing world champion, congressman, and international icon, Manny Pacquiao is the true definition of a Cinderella story. In the Philippines, he first entered the ring as a sixteen-year-old weighing ninety-eight pounds with the goal of earning money to feed his family. Now, almost twenty years later, when he fights, the country of 100 million people comes to a complete standstill to watch. Regarded for his ability to bring people together, Pacquiao entered the political arena in 2010. As history’s first boxing congressman, Pacquiao now fights for his people both inside and outside of the ring. Now at the height of his career, he is faced with maneuvering an unscrupulous sport while maintaining his political duties. The question now is, what bridge is too far for Manny Pacquiao to cross?

Interesting sport documentary about the famous Philipino boxer Manny Pacquiao alias Pac Man. Even for people that are not really into boxing or sports in general it's a well done and easy to watch biography of a great champion. It tells the story from his young age as a poor kid in a family that didn't have food on the table every day to the champion he became after fighting his way to the top. He defeated almost everybody in a lot of different categories and earns much respect for the way he did it. Always humble and looking like he's not worried about a fight he has that charming look that makes you interested in his story. The only down point to me is his strong beliefs in a God. If he's a world champion it has absolutely nothing to do with a God, it's because he's the best and that's it. Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao will definitely go in the list of greatest boxers all time.

I did not have great expectations for this movie and I found myself immersed in watching it. When I first started watching it, I thought it was another HBO boxing documentary but my feelings changed quickly in the first five minutes.It does not just give you boxing but includes a very nice introspective on Manny the person from when he was growing up until his new perspective on life itself. Most people do not realize all the activities this man is associated with and the movie enables you to get a better perspective on the Pacman.I really enjoyed it. A hit in my books!

well made documentary film. From nowhere to somewhere. this kind of movie would last. even after a hundred years. because, of substance,relevance and the longing human spirit of all generations. records come and go. but the story behind this man is very rare ..I find it amazing that Manny Pacquiao has risen from extreme poverty to being the wealthiest active boxer today, but yet he does not brag about his wealth and his achievements. Despite his status right now, he remains to be very humble, God-fearing, and respectful to his opponents and fans. I know Pacquiao came from poverty, went away from home as a kid and sold donuts and cigarettes in the busy streets of manila just to stay alive and eventually ending up in a boxing gym. He slowly have risen in the ranks of boxing from being an untrained slugger to the powerful boxer-puncher we now know. But everyone is recommended to watch this and know the details behind his story.

I agree with the comments from JustCuriosity.The documentary film is understandably biased and tries to win over viewers by tugging at their heart strings. After watching it, I did some reading up and realized that the facts are not as rosy as this title makes it out to be. The documented facts, about why the Mayweather Jr fight did not happen, were not fully revealed. Many viewers will rain glory on the title character but I came out wondering why he is still risking his life, after having achieved what no-one else has achieved, when he has a wife and 5 children. I see only an innocent teenager who has been corrupted by fame, wealth and greed as he grew up. The documentary also throws bad light on his Management and Promoter. But the best part was when the sports conditioner said that boxers are essentially chewed inside and out, and then tossed aside for the new.I'm also amazed at why the title is released so late in the Phillipines (1 year after being released in USA...)
