Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao will face American Floyd Mayweather on Saturday in what will be the most lucrative fight in boxing history.
The fight is set to generate around $400 million dollars through sponsorship, tickets sales and pay per view sales, and the two fighters are among the highest paid sportsmen in the world.
Pacquiao's status as a multi-millionaire is a huge contrast to the circumstances in which he grew up in the Philipinnes.
Al Jazeera's Jamela Alindogan reports from General Santos City in southern Philippines.
