Manny Pacquiao Quotations

I'm just a regular person who believes life is simple, and I like a simple life.

With experience in boxing, you learn how to be a scientific boxer and how to fight easy.

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.

Being a Christian means accepting Christ as your savior, your God. Thats why you are called a Christian. If you remove Christ, theres only ian and that means I am nothing.

Boxing is not about your feelings. It's about performance.

My #1 driving force is my lord and savior Jesus Christ. Also my family, my wife and children.

Boxing is a sport. We allow each other to hit each other, but I'm not treating my opponent like my enemy. We're doing a job to entertain people.

All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important.

I remember as a little boy I ate one meal a day and sometimes slept in the street. I will never forget that and it inspires me to fight hard, stay strong and remember all the people of my country, trying to achieve better for themselves.

The most important thing as a leader is your relationship with God.

I don't have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

You know, America is - for me, it's the best country.

I've always fought for my country, in my own way, showing that Filipinos are a strong people and can do anything that they put their minds to.

Nothing personal - I am just doing my job.

God's words first... obey God's law first before considering the laws of man.

Only in death will I relinquish my belts.

I've worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts - just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.

Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

If we don't have God in our life, we're considered dead.

No notes. You speak from deep in your heart. It's easy.

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you're entertaining people.

I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God.

I don't mind having these relatives. I'll give them a little, since they all prayed for my victory.

Most of leaders in Philippine politics come from rich family.

I know everyone in the Philippines is happy.

In boxing you never know who you're going to face in ring.

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.

God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other.

I've already established my (political)machinery. It's like a car. It's fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

Well you know it's dangerous in politics, because especially in the Philippines there's a lot of killing in politics.

I have a relative who is also gay. We can't help it if they were born that way.

For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

My fans were expecting me there and I did not want to disappoint them.

Maybe Manny can take Espinosa for his roadwork or as an adviser. As we all know, Manny shows no mercy even with his sparring partners

I expect that when he fights me he will be the real Erik Morales. He is training very hard. I do not think I will get the same Morales that lost to Zahir.

Last fight there were a lot of distractions in my mind, ... (Now) there are no distractions. I'm just worried about my opponent. I'm very focused on my training right now.

I will just come out again on Thursday (during the press conference at the Wilshire Grand Hotel).

I saw I hurt him every time I hit him in the body.

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.

I think he can come back. It was (only) his first time (an opponent) knocked him out.

I would just like to focus even more because the fight is less than a week from now.

This was very important. I don't get to Morales without a victory.

Every time Erik moved to his right, I couldn't see him.

It was an experience I will never forget in my life,

Sasagasaan ko 'yan. Talagang maghahanda ako para sa kanya. Dadaanin ko sa resistance. Hindi ko siya tatantanan. Lagi akong naroon kahit siya maputo.

All of my countrymen are hoping that I win this fight. If I beat Morales, it will be a great honor for me to go back to the Philippines with the victory. I want this very much for my country, it will be good for my country and my fans.

Its going to be a good fight. Both of us worked real hard and were going to give you a good fight on Saturday.

I'm completely focused on Velazquez, ... If he's able to go the distance, I think that will help me as far as my experience and stamina for Morales. But the only fight I'm thinking about right now is the next one.

In the sixth round I knew he was getting tired when I hit him with one punch to the body. But I had to take my time with him because he's a great boxer, too. In the 10th, I tried to knock him out.

I don't think I have an advantage because he is coming off a loss. I think he wants to recover his name, he wants to win this fight. This time we are prepared for his jab and his straight.

If he wants a rematch, I will give him a rematch. There should be a third fight.

I don't look ahead... I keep focused on my next opponent. I am looking forward to my next opponent, I don't think past that point.

Being Manny Pacquiao's wife is not easy. It's fun for me and my guys but it's very difficult for her.

I hate politicians. I hate politics. But if I start to go into politics, I think I believe that I can serve more, I can help more people.

I grew up in the Philippines, and I don't think there is a problem with the typhoon. It's normal for us.

I can't walk down the streets. It's very difficult. I can't go to the mall. I have to go to hotels just to have a meal. Everybody wants to say hi and say thank you and congratulate me, so it's very difficult.

It's important for me to win the fight, but it's not the most important thing. The most important thing is to show people who spend their hard-earned money that they can be entertained by the way I fight.

I have to adjust. I have to be nice to all the people. Because of the people I have become a famous person. My responsibility is to fulfill my responsibility as a famous person.

I have to use my strengths, which [are] my speed, my quickness and my movements. If I do that, I really believe that I will come out on top.

I'm happy to help people.

I want them to make peace with the love of God.

We have a job to do. After the fight, I'll love him.

In boxing, you never know who you're going to face in the ring.

I could see he was having problems taking my punches. I had no problem taking his.

I wanted to be a world champion.

To the gay community I apologize if I did something, but all I said was I was against same-sex marriage. But I am not condemning you. My favorite expression is, 'Love one another ... as you love yourself, love thy neighbor'

I did my best. I guess my best wasn't good enough.

In the ring I can tell right away what his style is and I can adapt to it. I'm adjusting to life as a politician. It's different in training but I can stay focused on both.

I'm not aiming for a knockout. I focus on doing my best. If the knockout comes, fine. If not, that's okay.

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. What I'm critical off are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God,

The biggest fight in my life is not in boxing. The biggest fight in my life is how to end poverty in my country.

I will do my best, and I promise I will give this guy a fight, and I have to win this fight.

I say to Floyd Mayweather Jr., don't be a coward and face me in the ring, mano a mano, and shut your big, pretty mouth so we can show the world who is the true king of the ring,

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.

Only God knows that. He is the only one who knows. He is only one who will know. And he is the only one who does know.

I live my life like everyday is my last.

Imagine what I would have done with my fire-breathing fists.

Right now I’m inspired to fight for the honour of my country.

A fighter's dream is to win a world title and gain financial stability. But what is happening to me now is the most humbling experience of my life. It is a great honor for me to be the face of my people and to let everyone know we are a small but mighty country. I have great pride for all of the Filipinos living throughout the world and it is these people that I fight for each and every time I step into the ring.

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.

For me, boxing isn't about hurting each other. Boxing is entertainment and making people happy.

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.

I never compare myself to anybody. I don't look at my accomplishments compared to anyone. I'm happy with what I've accomplished in boxing.

I'm just going to punch him and do my best. If the knockout comes, it comes.

Mosley is bigger than me. He's fast and his hand speed is still there. He's faster than most of my opponents. He's also preparing hard and he's also good, so we never underestimate our opponent.

I'm doing this for my family and my country.

I'm surprised that the fight was kind of easy.

We pray everyday. We read the bible everyday, so everybody's happy.

Even the president is watching the fight.

It depends on my promoter, Bob Arum.

I want to prove that he's wrong - he's wearing a t-shirt that says he won the last two fights.

I don't even remember if he hurt me with even one punch. Amazing what the result is.

I can be a champion and a public servant also.

Obey God's law first before considering the laws of man.

My heart wants to read the Bible, wants to obey God. When you have Jesus in your life, when you have God in your life, like the thing in this world is not important to your heart. The more important is God in your heart. That's how God changed my life.

You train hard and I'll train hard, and may the best man win, and good luck to both of us.

You're still my idol.
