As of 2015, Pacquiao's fights had generated $1.2 billion in revenue from his 25 pay-per-view bouts. In July 2019, Pacquiao became the oldest welterweight world champion in history at the age of 40, and the first boxer in history to become a recognized four-time welterweight champion after defeating Keith Thurman to win the WBA (Super) welterweight title. He was the first boxer to win the lineal championship in five different weight classes, the first boxer to win major world titles in four of the eight 'glamour divisions' ( flyweight, featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight), and is the only boxer to hold world championships across four decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s).
Pacquiao is the only eight-division world champion in the history of boxing and has won twelve major world titles. He has been serving as a senator of the Philippines since 2016. Nicknamed ' PacMan', he is regarded as one of the greatest professional boxers of all time. Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao Sr., CLH ( locally born December 17, 1978) is a Filipino politician and former professional boxer.
