‘Kid Kulafu’, a film about Pacquiao, offers a glimpse of boxer’s childhood (Reuters)

A film about Manny Pacquiao released on Wednesday offers a look into the Philippine boxer’s childhood before his much anticipated fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr next month. “Kid Kulafu”, named after a brand of wine whose bottles Pacquiao collected as a child, charts his rise from humble beginnings to his first step into the boxing ring. “He’s just like every one of us,” director Paul Soriano said at the film’s Manila premiere on Tuesday night. “Everyone can mimic his moves, but you can’t easily copy his courage,” said Buboy Villar, who plays the young Pacquiao.
