He wasn't doing this earlier in his career and he was making Filipinos proud already. The substantial dollars came when he was knocking down opponents in a fashion not often seen - making him such a bankable athlete. It's not his fault if he's paid so much, it comes with his popularity brought about by how he hard he worked to be where he is now. Isn't that honorable enough?
