Manny Pacquiao Birthday 2016: Net Worth And Quotes As Boxer Celebrates His 38th Year

Manny Pacquiao, the all star boxer known most recently for his high profile fight against Floyd Mayweather in 2015, turned 38 Saturday. The milestone came a little less than a month after he announced to the world that he planned to continue his boxing career at a new gym.

Pacquiao has won world titles in eight different weight divisions. The boxer has a 57-6-2 win-loss-draw record and was the first sitting senator to ever win one a world title.
