[ See cover. ] The book is officially authored by the "Pacman", and is co-written with Timothy James.

The book covers the Filipino's life story, personal background, as well as, professional career up until his unanimous decision victory over Ghanaian Joshua Clottey (35-4) in March 2010. The sport's "Fighter of the Decade" will face the much larger Antonio "Tijuana Tornado" Margarito (38-6) of Mexico on November 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The showdown represents the Filipino's record-extending attempt at an eighth title belt in as many weight divisions.
There are currently several related book projects on Manny Pacquiao including:
- PacMan: Behind the Scenes with Manny Pacquiao by Gary Andrew Poole (of TIME Magazine)
- The Wild Card: Hard-Fought Lessons from a Life in the Ring by Freddie Roach with Peter Owen Nelson
- "A Storm of Courage" by Marv Dumon
Pacquiao's autobiography will be made available shortly after the Margarito fight beginning on November 19, 2010.
[ Excerpts of press statement below. ]
(LOS ANGELES) October 18, 2010 Dunham Books is set to release Pacman: My Story of Hope, Resilience, and Never-Say-Never Determination penned by the WBO World Welterweight Champion (Super Champion) of America and rated the number one pound-for-pound best boxer in the world by Sports Illustrated, ESPN, The Ring, NBC Sports and Yahoo! Sports.
Pacman recounts the story of a humble man who dreamed of being a priest, yet lacking the economic resources to pursue the same. Pacquiao was to find another way to move heaven and earth boxing. It would become the only way for him to survive.
Pacman not only reveals the roots and early suffering of this legendary fighter but his transition into life as a sports superstar which includes giving back to the people and the country that fed and supported him through so many years of hardship. Pacman shares Pacquiao his fellow Filipinos by serving as a Congressman in the House of Representatives, becoming the first active professional boxer to become an elected public official.
Considered one of the most influential people in the Philippines today and, by some standa -to-riches story will -say- attitude about life. It proves that with hope and resilience anyone can achieve their goal, even a little boy who sold donuts and ice water on the penurious streets of the Philippines.

PACQUIAO, THE CHOSEN ONE
Even though Margarito will octuple his preparation in his coming fight with Pacquiao, he will never defeat Pacquiao. After the fight, Margarito will then say that he had lost his strength, power and speed during the fight; that is the time Margarito will admit that Pacquiao has been willed by God to be the greatest boxer the world will ever have. Nobody in this world in Pacquiao’s future fights will be able to defeat him. You Margarito, the more you are arrogant, the more you will be knockout by Pacquiao in the early rounds. Do not be afraid you all Paquiao fans, for you will see how Margarito, the cheater (with intent to kill his previous opponents with the use of illegal hand wrap), will be punished in this coming fight. Pacquiao’s fame is just preliminary to the forthcoming greatness of Philippines and of its people. One is fortunate if he can recognize the one who will rule the world with an iron rod.
Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao (pronounced /ˈpækjaʊ/; born December 17, 1978), also known as Manny Pacquiao, is a Filipino professional boxer and politician. He is a seven-division world champion, the first boxer in history to win nine world titles in seven different weight divisions.[3] He is also the first boxer in history to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes.[4] He was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s by the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA). He is also a three-time BWAA and The Ring "Fighter of the Year" in 2006, 2008 and 2009.[5]
Currently, Pacquiao is the WBO Welterweight World Champion (Super Champion) and is rated as the number 1 pound-for-pound best boxer in the world by several sporting news and boxing websites, including The Ring, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, NBC Sports, Yahoo! Sports and About.com.[6][7]
Aside from being a boxer, Pacquiao has participated in acting, music recording, and politics. In May 2010, Pacquiao was elected to the House of Representatives in the 15th Congress of the Philippines, representing the province of Sarangani.[8] He established the record of being the first active boxer to become a congressman in the Philippines.[9]

Pacman will be slower and heavier than usual in the ring, he will also be less-prepared than usual. On the other hand, margarito will be in the best shape of his career. I smell and upset
Both fighters will be on drugs. the Pacman may get a taste of his own medicine if he loses at the hands of a cheater...
