After the fight on Dec 6th 2008, Manny Pac Man Paquiao had this to say as he arrived to his home

country of the Philippines

Pacquiao attributed his success to a higher power:

In a short speech before the crowd, Pacquiao recalled how some people told him that he had a “big problem” with De la Hoya.But Pacquiao said that while he had a big problem, he assured them that there was a “bigger God who was much better.”

Speaking in Filipino, Pacquiao said, “Sabi nila malaki ang problema ko, pero sabi ko malaki nga ang problema ko, pero may Panginoon naman na napakagaling.”

But Pacquiao said he had this to say to those who didn’t believe him, “Don’t tell God I have a big problem, but face your problem because we have a big God.”
