What happens

Pacquiao: The Movie is a 2006 Philippine biographical sports drama film directed by Joel C. Lamangan. The film stars Jericho Rosales as the title role. The film is based on a true story of Filipino boxer Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao. The film was shot in General Santos, Manila, Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles, California. This is FLT Films' only film after a 3-year hiatus, which in turn would be the last film produced. With the film being a box-office bomb, plans of a two-picture contract for Pacquiao didn't push through. Pacquiao: The Movie would be followed 9 years later by Kid Kulafu, which focuses on the boxer's early years as a childhood and youth. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
