Boxer Manny Pacquiao Built 1,000 Homes In His Homeland For The Poor Growing up in poverty in the Philippines, Pacquiao frequently slept on cardboard boxes and skipped school for work to help his mother meet ends.
When Pacquiao eventually fought his way out of poverty, he decided to give back to people who were still struggling. In 2016, Pacquiao paid out of his pocket to build 1,000 houses for the poor in his home country.
Despite losing his highly anticipated 2015 "Fight of the Century" against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao earned more than $100 million for the fight and spent a great deal of his earnings on financing the homes.
