heart giving people
I have to give people time to take a picture, and sign autographs. I have to be generous to people. It is in my heart. Without that, I would not be Manny Pacquiao.
fighting years giving
I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years. They have waited long enough and they deserve it. It is their mandate. It is an honor to be part of this historic event. I dedicate this fight to all the fans who willed this fight to happen and, as always, to bring glory to the Philippines and my fellow Filipinos around the world.
giving mind victory
I don't mind having these relatives. I'll give them a little, since they all prayed for my victory.
years two giving
I would only spend a week or two in the Philippines, most probably the week during my birthday because I am planning to give away Christmas gifts to the poor people of General Santos just like what I did last year.
fighting giving trying
My concern is what fight we can give to the fans. My first concern as a boxer is to try hard and give a good fight for the fans.
fighting boxing giving
The religion is a personal thing in my life and fighting in the ring, it's boxing. It's my profession. God always gives me strength.
good-life people giving
I'm just appreciative of everything that has happened in my life. I'm overwhelmed, sometimes, by this. When I see where I grew up and the places I've been, it puts a smile on my face because of all the people there I can help. I give them food; I give them money; I try to provide them with a good lifestyle, and do the best I can because that's where I came from. Those are my people.
experience forget
It was an experience I will never forget in my life,
hindi
Sasagasaan ko 'yan. Talagang maghahanda ako para sa kanya. Dadaanin ko sa resistance. Hindi ko siya tatantanan. Lagi akong naroon kahit siya maputo.
moved time
Every time Erik moved to his right, I couldn't see him.
fight focus less week
I would just like to focus even more because the fight is less than a week from now.
body eighth knew landing punches sometime wearing
I think I had him sometime in the eighth round. I knew the body punches were wearing him down, and I knew that if I could keep landing them, I'd probably get him.
knocked time
I think he can come back. It was (only) his first time (an opponent) knocked him out.
against relative
I'm not against gay people. I have a relative who is also gay. We can't help it if they were born that way.
