Boxing’s only octuple world champion, Manny Pacquiao, has terrorized almost all of his opponents for over two decades. However, his outer-ring approach has scarcely been intimidating. Pacquiao’s humble gestures and friendly media interactions turned him into a fan-favorite character.
The Filipino legend, therefore, became a global phenomenon and his stardom reached a broader audience when popular US rapper Drake innovatively sampled him. Combat fans are well aware of Drake’s love for the sport as he is also a familiar face at UFC events. However, his impersonation of ‘Pac-Man’ may have been his most entertaining contribution to the fight fans.
