Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is the third-richest boxer on the planet, according to The Richest’s annual top 10 list.

The 42-year-old (professional record 62-7-1, 39 KO’s), who in February announced he was putting his senatorial duties on hold for a training camp for his next rumoured fight against Terence Crawford, joined Americans Floyd Mayweather Jnr and George Foreman in rounding out the top.

‘Pacman’ has a net worth of approximately US$220 million (HK$1.7 billion), according to the celebrity net worth new outlet. The high figures come as no surprise given Pacquiao – boxing’s only eight-division world champion in history – has been winning titles across four decades.

Pacquiao’s last win was against Keith Thurman where he won the WBA super welterweight title. He has since spent the majority of the time as a “champion in recess”, citing government obligations and the Covid-19 pandemic.

While he has been largely inactive since his super-bout with Mayweather Jnr in 2015, The Manila Times reported that some of his income can be attributed to his ownership of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League and stake in Asian MMA promotion One Championship.
