New Pacquiao film shows how poor boy grew up to be champion

In this April 7, 2015 photo, Filipino filmmaker Paul Soriano gestures beside a poster of the movie "Kid Kulafu," a movie about Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao's childhood, during an interview in suburban Makati, south of Manila, Philippines. The movie depicts the impoverished world Pacquiao grew up in before he boxed his way to fame, fortune and power, becoming the world’s only eight-division boxing champion, one of its highest-paid athletes and the wealthiest member of the Philippine House of Representatives. The movie will be shown in more than 100 theaters around the country starting Wednesday, April 15, 2015 ahead of Pacquiao's May 2 megafight with Floyd Mayweather. (AP Photo/Aaron Favila) MANILA, Philippines (AP) — As a dirt-poor rookie boxer in the southern Philippines, Manny Pacquiao started his phenomenal rise to global fame not as the Pacman, as he is sometimes called, but as "Kid Kulafu."
