Ngunit ang tropeo ay kalahati lamang ng kuwento. Para sa bawat Pacquiao na gumawa nito, may mga libu-libo at libu-libong mga wannabes na nagsasagawa ng pang-araw-araw at araw na umaasa upang makuha ang kanilang makatarungang bahagi ng katanyagan at kapalaran. Nakalulungkot, bagaman ang pinto ay bukas para sa sinuman na gustong magbigay ng isang pagbaril, tanging ang karapat-dapat ay makakakuha upang maibalik ang premyo.
