"Then we would look for work." "I would go fishing." "I spoke to the owner of a fishing net and asked if I could help so I can have a share of the fish." "At first, they were hesitant, because I was too young, and what do I know?" "They gave me a chance because I was desperate and really needed the job." "And we needed to eat." "Then I had a catch." "I had a share of the fish, and then I sold half." "Then I brought the other half home for us to eat." "One time, this happened between the rebel and the army." "The rebel, first they ask for water."

""Oh, we're here in Malabon mom we live here at the gym."" "MANNY:" "I didn't have any relatives to live with in Manila." "So I slept in the ring at night." "I wanted to become a professional boxer."

"[CROWD cheering]" "NARRATOR:" "Manny had run out of opponents." "He and his team headed to the United States seeking new opposition and opportunity." "Manny's manager Rod Nazario looked for a trainer." "Their last stop was in Los Angeles, at the Wildcard Boxing Club, where they met trainer, Freddie Roach." "freddie:" "I always said, "You never know when the next" "Muhammad Ali is going to walk through your door."" "You never know." "And then, one day, this little Filipino kid at 1 22 pounds and he comes up and he can barely speak English, his manager, Mr. Nazario says," ""We hear you're pretty good with the mitts." l said, "l'm okay."" "And he says, "This is Manny Pacquiao." "Will you work with him?"" "I said, "Sure."" "After one round, we clicked like we knew each other our whole lives." "We didn't miss a punch." "I went over to my corner and I said, "Wow, can this kid fight."" "He went to Mr. Nazario and said, "We have a new trainer."" "[EXCLAlMlNG LOUDLY]" "GARETH:" "Freddie Roach follows the line of the great trainers." "There's almost like the great art has passed down from master to pupil." "GARY:" "They are a dynamic duo, the team." "You look at great fighters of the past, they often had trainers that they trusted." "And you see it here with Manny and Freddie." "[GRUNTlNG]" "MARK:" "I always felt like he was one of the smartest boxing guys ever." "And when you're a fan of the sport you pay attention to who the guys are behind the scenes, who have..." "You know, taken fighters with a lot of potential to that ultimate level." "He's the best at bringing it out of fighters." "LARRY:" "Freddie Roach given the arc of his career as a fighter turned trainer and Manny Pacquiao as a fighter who wanted to be as good as he could be, giving himself over to a top trainer, who had learned under," "a kind of Zen master trainer," "Eddie Futch." "freddie:" "Eddie managed me up till the point when he wanted me to retire." "I was 26 years old." "I thought I could still obtain the chance to win a world title." "So, I fought those last six fights without management." "I should've listened to Eddie but I didn't." "And then, you know, maybe my life would be completely different now." "Maybe I wouldn't have Parkinson's." "Maybe I wouldn't have trauma problems from being hit." "And, but, the thing is, it was my choice, and other than that, I just live life to its fullest." "And a full life for me is 1 2 hours a day at the Wildcard." "JOAQUlN:" "When Manny started to train seriously he had no fight lined up." "The Ibf Super Bantamweight Champion Lehlo Ledwaba of South Africa, didn't have a challenger for a fight at the MGM Grand." "It was two weeks before the fight." "They went up and down the rankings, and they couldn't find anybody in the top five who wanted to take on Ledwaba on short notice." "Then they went to number six." "The name was Manny Pacquiao." "COMMENTATOR:" "Tale ofthe Tape, Lehlohonolo Ledwaba against" "Manny Packai..." "Pacquiao," "I'll get it right, Pacquiao." "freddie:" "We're such big underdogs." "It's like a 44-1 shot." "And people said, "Ledwaba is the most feared 22 pounder in the world from South Africa, he's a killer."" "But, I knew I had something special." "I didn't know how special but, the thing is, I knew he could really fight." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "Boom!" "I think this guy just hit so hard, that Ledwaba is totally on the defensive." "He took this fight on only two weeks notice, only came here to America, ten days ago, and he is banging Ledwaba right now." "And another, big right hand upstairs." "And now he's got Ledwaba bleeding badly." "COMMENTATOR 2:" "There's a weariness and almost a resignation in his eyes of Ledwaba" "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "That's a TKO victory for a very impressive, Manny Pacquiao." "COMMENTATOR 2:" "I have never seen him and frankly, I've never heard of him." "But, I've seen and heard of him now." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "You want to see him again." "COMMENTATOR 2:" "I want to see him again." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "I do, too." "FREDDIE:" "When I tell all these sports guys about how good Manny is, and I say, "Watch him, he's going to beat Ledwaba", then people started believing in Manny Pacquiao." "So, we're in Texas." "And we had a really good training camp over there." "At the weigh in, there's a pool table." "So, Manny set up this shot, it was six balls, he's going to sink six balls in one shot." "First try, they all went in." "I called up my friend and I say, "Make the bet."" "Bet Pacquiao by knockout." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "I wouldn't send him out for the 1 2th round, Manny." "I don't care how proud he is." "There's no way a great fighter should have to go through 3 more minutes of this." "COMMENTATOR 2:" "Well, Pacquiao is not backing off." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "He's getting hurt." "Here comes Barrera's corner." "Barrera's corner man is up on the apron." "He's going to step into the ring." "That's a good decision." "Finally, they could've done that two rounds ago." "COMMENTATOR 2:" "A great finish by Pacquiao." "A valiant effort by Barrera." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "It sets Pacquiao up for some huge fights and big money in the future." "Good, it's reported that of the $700,000 purse that was directed toward Pacquiao tonight, he himself is only going to get 300 grand out of it." "So he deserves the chance to make big money in the future." "COMMENTATOR 2:" "He's going to make a lot of big money as a result of this performance tonight." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "A superstar emerges in San Antonio." "Filipino star Manny Pacquiao." "freddie:" "Manny really changed my life also, because I was content with him knocking people out with the big left hand." "But then we fought Morales." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach says," ""He's been too left hand dominant." ""To beat Morales, he'll have to use his lead hand, his right hand, more and better."" "Morales very weary about Pacquiao's left hand power." "And I think it's clear right now" "Manny Pacquiao isn't going to deck Érik Morales with one big shot." "Great right hand lead." "COMMENTATOR 2:" "Oh!" "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "Wow, does Pacquiao hit!" "freddie:" "When we lost to Morales, I said, "You know what," ""l can't be satisfied with what I have here." "I got to do a better job, I got to make him a more complete fighter."" "I said, "l'm not going to stop working on the right hand until it's as good as the left."" "He had no idea what I was up to." "Finally I said, "Manny, I'm just working on getting you confidence, in both hands."" "And he just smiled at me and, you know, he just continued working, and he knocked a guy out with a hook for the first time," "I said, "We're here."" "[GRUNTS]" "COMMENTATOR:" "Right hand by Pacquiao drives Morales back." "Another right." "He's been so good with the right hand tonight." "Great victory for Pacquiao."

"ANNOUNCER:" "The winner by knockout victory, the fighting pride of the Philippines," "Manny..." "Pacman..." "Pacquiao!" "JOSHUA:" "There were large chunks of money, that HBO is paying us a licensing fee for a fight." "In some instances, less than half went to Manny Pacquiao." "Murad Muhammad and his promotional company M  M had entered into this secret agreement with Pacquiao's managers." "At the time, the Nazarios." "He was funneling money to a company." "Money that rightfully should've gone to Manny Pacquiao, to the manager, so you stop right there, and you say," ""Why is the promoter ever sharing money with the manager?"" "Especially without the fighter knowing about it." "This is the Ali Act." ""Firewall between promoters and managers." ""lt is unlawful for a promoter to have a direct or indirect financial interest in the management of a boxer."" "So, he tried to claim that the Nazarios weren't really Manny Pacquiao's manager." "That they were somehow his co-promoter, which would've made it okay for him to share money with them." "There's no central agency regulating this." "What other sport do you have where a guy every second of every round is risking his life, literally." "Putting it all on the line and why shouldn't he get every cent that he's owed?" "THOMAS:" "A promoter's job is to make as much money as the promoter can for himself." "A promoter wants to make money." "That's why they're in business." "But it's the fighter's job, to have the proper business representatives to negotiate with the promoter." "Certainly Bob Arum has done a wonderful job of building Manny Pacquiao as a commercial attraction." "But, no promoter is Mother Teresa." "Golden Boy certainly isn't Mother Teresa." "Don King isn't, Lou DiBella isn't, Bob Arum isn't." "That comes with the territory." "I was spoiled when I started promoting." "Because I started with Muhammad Ali." "As I spent more time in the business," "I had attractions who weren't Muhammad Ali." "And, therefore, I had to take a larger role to bring attention to the product that I was selling." "BERT:" "No matter what you say about promoters, good, bad or indifferent, I'm sure Bob himself has heard bad." "But they have an eye for talent." "Bob Arum has become and has remained one of the major forces in the sport." "Longer than almost any promoter or anybody." "Because he has an eye for talent." "That's what gives us great fights." "Freddie!" "How you doing?" "You drive up?" "No, we flew." "You know, Bob Arum, he's..." "He's a character, of course, first of all." "I fought for Bob for nine years, so I know him well." "Everything good here?" "Great." "Best press we've ever had." "Good, let's hope it continues." "freddie:" "He's been around boxing for a long long time." "And for him to say Manny's the best fighter he's ever had of all time is a very, very, very strong statement." "Call you when I get out of the elevator." "Michael is very valuable and without Michael it would be hell promoting Manny." "I'd like to send you on an errand." "You haven't bought the ticket yet." "725 text messages." "I can't find yours." "As always, been a pleasure" "Well, that's what I need." "Could you get somebody to get me ten copies of 24/7?" "I said, "lt's been a pleasure", and that led you to say," ""l need ten copies of 24/7"?" "Because Manny asked me." "Regardless of what Manny said, there's no room." "There's no room." "I don't sign autographs, I'll take a picture." "Oh, for Manny?" "No, Manny's not signing." "Well, you guys can't air any of this anyway till I sign a release." "[LAUGHS]" "franklin:" "Michael Koncz came out on the scene in the mid 2000s." "Freddie introduced Michael to Manny." "Freddie has often said that it was the biggest mistake of his life." "He would like to impose himself and show everybody that "l am next to Manny Pacquiao."" "Of course, maybe it's just ego trip, I don't know." "Look, you need to, if you don't want to get paid, then don't sign it but if you want to get paid, you got to sign the document." "Sign away." "Can we..." "Very simple, not exclusive." "If they want to sign more cards, they have to come renegotiate." "When I first started approximately eight years ago, I was really not doing anything except if he wanted to ask me something, he would ask me for my advice." "And as time progressed, I started handling the boxing." "We got rid of his prior manager and then got more involved in the boxing." "Now, I handle all the financing, disbursement of money, receiving of the money." "michael:" "Just make sure I get the money..." "You will get your money, you have Bob's backing." "michael:" "That's right..." "MICHAEL:" "Handled millions of dollars." "Everything is very well documented." "I can account for every single penny, if I have to." "There really wasn't any documentation on accounting." "Nothing was done." "No receipts were kept." "Nothing was recorded." "Everything was kind of handwritten down." "You know, handwritten. "l spent this on this, I spent on this."" "That's enough box or you need more?" "michael:" "But we can't do it that way." "[singing] I can stand on mountains..." "Then this one with a smaller pen, this is because they're making one special card with your picture on it." "So, that's the signature line, I need you to sign in the box so they can scan it and put it on the card." "It makes sense?" "I'm hoping that's going to make dollars, not cents, dollars." "Michael Koncz is probably the most miserable person on earth." "Anything that feels good would kill him." "Sex has to be an impossible act for him because that requires enjoyment." "[LOUD BEEPlNG]" "ALEX:" "When I first came aboard, Manny had a lot of chronic problems." "He had shin splints, he had plantar fasciitis, he had shoulder problems." "He just did the same thing every day." "There was nothing really challenging about it." "Concentrate, focus." "Time." "ronnie:" "Alex Ariza has done a lot for Manny, in terms of strength and conditioning." "And, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze..." "Time." "I like it, I like it." "ronnie:" "The moment he came in, Pacquiao put on power, speed and explosiveness." "Just a little bit." "Squeeze as hard as you can." "Hold it." "[GRUNTS]" "Last one." "[GRUNTS] I think Alex is the best strength and conditioning coach in the world." "He's learned to be the best in the world and he's learned with Manny Pacquiao." "ALEX:" "Even Freddie says sometimes, "Don't get too close to these guys."" "But, when you wake up with them and you eat with them and you're with them all day," "I think that the relationship then becomes no longer coach and athlete, it becomes friends to almost being brothers..." "Because you're together for so long." "[imitating crying]" "[laughing]" "ALEX:" "Anytime he's hurt, he comes to you, when he's hungry, he comes to you," "He doesn't feel right, he comes to you, when some thing's not right, he comes to you," "So, the relationship just evolves that way, I think it is inevitable." "One moment of silence, please." "ALEX:" "The news broke that De La Hoya and Pacquiao was going to go off." "He said, "Dude, I can't believe I'm fighting my idol." "I used to watch Oscar when I was a little kid."" "[GRUNTlNG]" "Good shot." "ALEX:" "I had just barely got him to 1 35." "Now, I have to make him jump two more weight classes to 1 47?" "And it's Oscar De La Hoya." "It's one thing if you're jumping weight classes to fight some cheeseburger." "We're fighting one of the best fighters in boxing." "He was not only the face of boxing, but a dangerous fighter." "Not to mention, Freddie said it's going to destroy both of our careers, if Manny gets beat." "[laughing]" "Looking good, bro." "Do your thing, man, just wanted to say hello." "MARK:" "He's fast, he's fearless, and he's got a lot of power." "and De La Hoya is a lot bigger." "But, he's got too much power, too much heart." "Oscar fighting that little guy?" "Don, get over here." "What is he trying to do, man?" "Why would he want to fight him?" "[EXCLAlMlNG LOUDLY]" "MANNY:" "We're focused on speed." "We're trying to develop the power." "I think it depends on what's De La Hoya's style in the ring." "My motivation has been his skills." "My motivation has been his youth, his speed." "His power." "My motivation has been his relentlessness inside that ring." "That's what really drove me to go to the gym every single day to feel no pain." "Manny Pacquiao is a fighter." "That's why I'm looking forward to this fight." "It's going to be fun." "Everybody said that De La Hoya was too big and was going to massacre him." "And, there was a bill in the Philippines, to ban the fight because he would get killed." "[TV COMMENTATOR 1 ] The objective is to protect the pride of our nation." "Protect him from a possible debacle that may be detrimental to his health." "[TV COMMENTATOR 2] Some say this will be a circus." "Because we see a big man fighting a small man." "De La Hoya was like Goliath to our David, Manny Pacquiao." "People thought he was crazy, I thought he was crazy." "But not to the point of going to Congress to stop the fight, no." "Why would you stop a guy from his march towards greatness?" "[boxing REFEREE] Okay, Oscar, Manny, you both received your instructions in the dressing room" "I want a good, clean fight." "Obey my commands at all times." "Above all, protect yourselves at all times." "Let's go."

"COMMENTATOR 2:" "He's bending his head so that is almost no height difference." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "That's right..." "COMMENTATOR 2:" "Pacquiao lands a brilliant upper cut." "And, if there was doubt coming in as to whether Pacquiao could affect De La Hoya with his punching power, there shouldn't be any doubt any more." "It's Pacquiao's quickness dominating the slower De La Hoya" "Now, you make it hard to find you." "And he's taking chances, he's starting to make mistakes." "He can't handle your speed, son." "COMMENTATOR 1 :" "What is the feeling of a fighter when he's in there with somebody who's always beating him to the punch." "This is getting embarrassing."

"Do you think Mayweather is afraid of you?" "Do you think he doesn't want to fight you and that's why he's trying to... I think he's not really for the fight." "When they mentioned Pacquiao, I said who's that?" "They say that's the guy we're trying to get fight Mayweather." "When I say Floyd Mayweather, they say "all-time great.""

"You know, I grew up in boxing, I love boxing." "But, maybe one more fight, and that's it." "After the fight with Mayweather, win or lose, last fight." "Of course, we're gonna win." "But after Mayweather, yeah." "freddie:" "There's one thing about my fighter." "When it's time, it's time." "You know, the thing is, I went overboard and I pay for that now."

I'm almost 99% sure he will listen to me, because we have great rapport with each other, and he knows I'm an honest person," "and I would never tell him something that wasn't true." "So, if I see him slowing down or slipping, the first time I see that, I'll say it's over." "Well, in his talks with me, he's given me a date in 201 3, where he's gonna hang it up." "And so I expect that after this Bradley fight, that he'll probably have about three more fights, and that'll be the end." "ALEX:" "Manny is just a dog, that keeps running or a horse that keeps racing, or anything else like those guys." "That's just business that they're in."

"MICHAEL:" "Even if Manny retires from boxing, I'll still be with Manny." "As long as he wants me to be around, I'll be there." "That's why I spend so much time in the Philippines, even when he's not boxing." "What I want and what I am striving for is" "I want to be in a position to supplement Manny's income so he can sustain the same lifestyle, after we're not making 60, 70 million dollars from boxing a year." "For him and his family." "ALEX:" "I'd be happy for him, you know what I mean?" "I'd be happy for him that he is not being used, and that he gets to go off, and do his own thing." "And do what he feels that he wants to do." "If he feels like changing his life, and focusing on his political career and his religion is what he wants to do, I'd be happy for him."
