(CNN Philippines) — Not too long ago, there was a scrawny boy called “Kid Kulafu,” named after a brand of wine whose bottles he collected back then.
That kid, of course, is now a man — or “Pacman,” as he is more popularly known now – the Filipino boxing superstar whose meteoric rise from humble beginnings made him one of the most popular and richest boxers in the planet today.
With just a little over two weeks left before Manny Pacquiao’s blockbuster faceoff against U.S. pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr., the film Kid Kulafu gave the world a glimpse into Pacquiao’s challenging childhood. The movie hit local theaters Wednesday (April 15).
Pacquiao’s story before he became a world-renowned ring warrior is no secret, but the biopic Kid Kulafu takes us back to the untold truth of his painstaking rags-to-riches journey.
