    I anit gonna lie, almost cried. Its great to see a person's whole story because no matter how much you love or hate Manny Pacquiao you dont know his story. you know who's he fought, hasn't fought, how he did in those fights but dont know the journey. I wont break down the flim to much because i know most ppl on this website will watch it but i'll give little snippetts in my perspective.

    We all knew he grew up pour but you see how it is out there. the struggle is real. ditched his family and snuck on a boat to get to Manila so he can fight more and take care of the family. people wanna talk about Hustle, thats true hustle right there.

    2weeks notice he took on Ledwaba and pounded him out. thats when it all started. Roach said right there and there we got something special.

    They show the Ariza relationship, those guys loved each other. wonder what happened so fast???

    They document Koncz as a snake on the Movie!! That was funny, they show scenes were it looks like Pacquiao wants to slap him because Koncz wont shut up and tries to be in Pacquiao's spot light to much.

    The lost of Morales. Thats when Roach decided he has to use his right hand more or he will take more losses so they show some training footage of that. Roach a beast.

    A good 10-15 mins on the Pacquiao-DLH hype and fight. man everybody was saying Pac was gonna get destroyed. I had and bet Pacquiao by KO (Cleaned up over $3500) so i didnt know what everybody was seeing but i get it. pac was hella small but speed kills. Man they show the parade back in the Philippines and you can tell the impact he has on people's lives. truly is touching, thats why boxing is such a great sport.

    Show and hype the Margarito match a little to much. Margarito is a straight cheater and a punching bag and didnt have a damn chance in that fight and everybody knows. they hype in because it got him that 8th title in 8 weight classes, i dont feel like it should be counted but i dont make the rules so hes 8 division champ.

    only spend about 3-5 mins on Mayweather-Pacquiao matching up. different interviews they show, famous ppl weighing in, PPL saying is Floyd's fault to Arum is a snake and Arum/Roach saying it needs to be pac's last fight. Now i always knew that was the case but pacquiao's contract goes to 2016 so do they really want the fight May 2nd?? I dont know

    starts and ends with Pac-JMM 4. fighting is as real as it gets and man u can see when he got KO what happened from him to all the way in the Philippines.

    Great Documentary!! Even if your a hater of Manny, really dont watch boxing, its a damn good one. I would recommend people i know dont watch boxing at all to watch that. When yall get a chance sit back and enjoy. :bbb:bbb

    was suprisingly good but not the best ive seen

    What was the point in Liam Neeson narrating it? he says nothing through most of the film then randomly pops up in segments to say a sentence or two and then hes gone

    That being said I was expecting it to praise Manny as a god but they picked up on some of his indiscretions and pointed a finger or two at Arum for being a snake.

    All in all its worth a watch if your a boxing fan but slightly disapointing given its about Pacquiao.

    Tapia / Real life rocky are two great documentaries any boxing fan should watch

    If you want to watch a good movie with filipinos in it, watch Metro Manila. I read the IMDB reviews of Manny (hardly any), but this is a sure sign it's sensationalized and not worth watching
