LOS ANGELES ? World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight king and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao said he purchased the palatial Beverly Hills mansion as a gift to his wife Jinkee and their children.
The 10,000-square-foot mansion was formerly owned by Sean Combs popularly known by his stage names Puff Daddy, Diddy, and P. Diddy.
Diddy is an American rapper, record producer, actor and entrepreneur.
Pacquiao attributed his success in life to his ever supportive and loving wife.
?Behind all my success in life is my wife Jinkee. I wanted to surprise them. But this is no longer a secret. Maybe they knew it already. I could not hide it from the media. Reporters are following me wherever I go,? Pacquiao said laughing.
Pacquiao and his team dropped by his Beverly Hills mansion after attending a church service on Sunday.
The prime estate is located inside the guard-gated, posh neighborhood known here as the Summit.
The current owner, couple Roger and Gale Dauer, told this reporter that the property was sold by Diddy to another individual before they purchased it in 2011.
?We reconstructed the house and made some expansion. There were three buyers including Manny Pacquiao. The two other buyers quoted a much higher price but we decided to sell it to him. We like him very much,? the Dauer couple said.
An impressive spiral staircase and a massive chandelier greet the guests upon entry at the reception hall of the two-story grandiose estate.
The ground level features a chef?s kitchen, a state-of-the-art media room and a family room with a sports bar.
There are seven bedrooms ? including a master?s suite ? and seven and a half baths upstairs.
Each room boasts of a Creston home automation with temperature, lighting and audio iPad control.
The 30,000-square-foot total lot area includes a wide cobblestone driveway, a swimming pool with fountain and spa, several fire pits and patios.
Elsa Nelson, vice president and manager of a real estate firm Nelson Shelton & Associates, said there were three bidders who signified interest in buying the elegant estate.
?The two other bidders offered a much higher price but the current owners decided to sell it to world boxing icon Manny Pacquiao,? Nelson bared.
This reporter asked Nelson about the exact price but she refused to divulge it.
Nick Enciso, a real estate agent here and a close friend of Pacquiao, claimed that the Pinoy boxing superstar had already paid a certain amount as down payment.
?We have already closed the deal but I could not divulge the exact amount,? Enciso said.
