In a recent television interview, Pacquiao revealed that there are a lot of possible opponents for his upcoming July ring return. "Either Mikey Garcia, Errol Spence, or [Terence] Crawford," he said. "There are boxers from Canada and Mexico that want to fight with me."
The July fight will definitely be monumental for his career, but he will also stand to add a hefty amount to his net worth. As it stands, the boxer-politician is already the wealthiest athlete in the Philippines. So, just how rich is Manny Pacquiao exactly?
