According to Michael, he also wanted to make a name for himself. He understands and appreciates the hard work of his father, Manny Pacquiao, who’s a self-made millionaire for being one of the greatest boxers in the history. But that being said, he doesn’t just want to piggyback on his parents’ success.
“I work hard to achieve what I want. I wanna work hard as well ‘cause my dad worked hard for everything he has done and also for us. And I wanna do the same—work hard for everything that I will have, that I want to have, and give back to my mom and dad because they did so much.”
One particular rapper, Jason Dhakal, dissed Michael on social media. On Twitter, Dhakal claimed that Michael’s wealth has greatly influenced his chances of being popular.
