Anyway, Pacquaio can have 22 accounts for simple reasons. The first being bank limitations. Six figure and up people in the U.S. open many accounts all the time, with the big reason being that the FDIC used to only insure cash deposits of up to $100K per bank. They upped it to $250K per bank but it's going to return to $100K next month.
It's the Philippines also, where banks there don't have the greatest reputation internationally, aren't as well funded as Western based economies (US, Europe), and aren't insured by their government. It's likely that his advisers recommended he spread his cash throughout many different banks to minimize risk. Not a dumb thing to do at all. Pacquaio obviously just runs through his money like it's nothing though.
