Manny Pacquiao was among the several boxing greats that not only won belts but also gain some huge bags of cash knowing that his career earnings nearly reached P24 billion.
Pacquiao has been in many of the most exciting and bet-filled fights in boxing. Together with all the endorsements and PPV (PayPer View) parts, the Filipino boxing champ has earned an estimated $500 million (about P23.5 billion) throughout his career.
According to a report in Inquirer, on the last fight of Manny of his 21-year career, he has been guaranteed $20 million.
The report added that Pacman has been earning, at least, $15 million for 14 times now.
But still, the eight-division world boxing champion earned the most from the Mayweather fight last year. Manny Pacquiao has a purse amounting $60 million. But, the shares on endorsements and PPV are not included yet.
Opponents | Profits |
| Ricky Hatton | $12M + PPV shares |

| Joshua Clottey | $17M |
| Antonio Margarito | $15 + PPV |
| Shane Mosley | $20M + PPV |

| Timothy Bradley (1st fight) 2nd fight | $20M $26M + PPV |

The “Fight of the Century” wherein Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr. had fought had broken records in terms of total sales amounting to $600M.
Mayweather’s retirement made Pacquiao the top most paid boxer during his era. But, since he already announced his retirement, it might take some time to find somebody to get close to this man’s boxing career earnings and achievements.
There’s one thing that Pacquiao needs to face regarding his current earnings; the taxes that needs to pay in the U.S. and his country the Philippines.
Pacquiao has been involved in a tax evasion case in the Philippines.
