## Description

PacMan is " a one-of-a-kind ride into the one-of-a-kind life of Manny Pacquiao."- Robert Cassidy, Newsday With his shellacking of Antonio Margarito in November 2010, Manny " PacMan" Pacquiao became the only boxer ever to win eight world championships in eight different weight classes. Proclaimed the " fighter of the decade" by ESPN and elected Congressman in the Philippines, he is an inspiration to his countrymen. But to many, he remains an enigma. In PacMan - named one of the best sports books of 2010 by the Guardian - Gary Andrew Poole pulls back the curtain in an " amazing tale of how a reed-thin Filipino, who left his home in the poorest pocket of the Philippines (" The City of Dust") at the age of 15 . . . became one of the most recognizable names and faces in the world" ( Dallas Morning News ). " Excellent."- Sports Illustrated
