About PAC Tokens and Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX)
Preface
The nature of fame has transformed dramatically in the age of technology. The emergence and development of mobile
technology and smartphones in the last two decades have had a significant impact on communication and the media across
the globe. The Internet has put connectivity and social media interaction in the palms of both the users and market makers,
creating new ways in which brands and celebrities engage with their fans and the public.
As the number of social media followers of celebrities grow, so do their fan bases and popularity. In fact, social media
followership on channels such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have become somewhat of a popularity indicator.
Through greater engagement that is more intimate and personal via these various social media channels, celebrities have
now begun to capitalise on their huge fan bases and public followings.
In partnership with GCOX, international boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao presents to his fans and followers an opportunity
to interact with him and participate in unique celebrity programmes through his own personal tokens called the PAC Token.
GCOX is the world’s first platform of its kind where celebrities and brands are able to capitalise on blockchain technology, a
highly secure and dependable distributed protocol, to truly revolutionise and redefine popularity and celebrity culture like
never before. This platform also allows celebrities, at the different stages of their celebrity life cycle, to develop, monetise
and revitalise their popularity.

About Manny Pacquiao
Emmanuel "Manny" Dapidran Pacquiao (born 17 December 1978) is a Filipino professional boxer and politician,
serving as a Senator of the Philippines. He currently ranks number 4 in BoxRec's ranking of the greatest pound for
pound boxers of all time. In 2016, Pacquiao was ranked number 2 on ESPN's list of top pound-for-pound boxers of
the past 25 years. He is the only eight-division world champion in the history of boxing, having won eleven major
world titles, as well as being the first boxer to win the lineal championship in five different weight classes. Pacquiao
is also the first boxer in history to win major world titles in four of the original eight weight classes of boxing:
flyweight, featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight.
He was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s by the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA, WBC,
and WBO. He is also a three-time Ring magazine and BWAA Fighter of the Year, winning the award in 2006, 2008,
and 2009; and the Best Fighter ESPY Award in 2009 and 20116. Pacquiao has generated approximately 19.2 million
in pay-per-view buys and $1.2 billion in revenue from his 24 PPV bouts. According to Forbes, he was the second highest
paid athlete in the world as of 2015.
Beyond boxing, Pacquiao has participated in basketball, business, TV hosting, acting, music recording, and
politics. In May 2010, Pacquiao was elected to the House of Representatives in the 15th Congress of the
Philippines, representing the province of Sarangani. He was re-elected in 2013 to the 16th Congress of the
Philippines. In June 2016, Pacquiao was elected as a Senator and will serve a six-year term until 2022.
Manny Pacquiao is GCOX's celebrity as well as investor. He announced his involvement with GCOX and the
development of his PAC Token during his press conference prior to his fight with Lucas Matthysse in July 2018.
On 1 September 2019, GCOX produced the first major concert of Manny Pacquiao - “A Concert For Champions”
held at the prestigious Smart Araneta Coliseum in Manila, Philippines. During the highly-anticipated concert, which
was attended by thousands of fans, PAC Token was officially launched by the boxing legend himself. The
electrifying event made international headline news the following day, paving the way for a successful listing on the
GCOX Exchange weeks later.

Value Proposition
The rapid rise of blockchain technology has enabled us to conceive new ways of allowing celebrities to interact with their fans.
Utility tokens will allow fans to gain access to unique celebrity programmes, merchandise and services that are available on
the various GCOX platforms. Via GCOX, Manny Pacquiao will create his personalized crypto token called the “PAC Token” (PAC ).
PAC Tokens (PAC) ride on the advantage of blockchain by transforming the popularity and brand of Manny Pacquiao into
crypto tokens which are quantifiable and exchangeable. Millions of fans will now be able to get closer to their idol Manny
Pacquiao by having access to his bespoke fan-celebrity programmes powered by GCOX via a suite of GCOX platforms as
shown in the figure below (See figure 1 below).

platforms such as Celeb-Pay, Celebreneur, Celeb-Auction, Celeb-Connect, Fan-Connect, Celeb-Crowdsource and Celeb-

community on the platform, the degree of user activity and market acceptance, as well as the participant's choice of potential
projects. Hence, the more programmes, products and services the celebrity is willing to offer, the higher the likelihood of
utilisation of the Celebrity Tokens.

Introducing Pacpay
The outlook of digital payment holds a lot of promise globally and in particular, the Asia Pacific region. In a study conducted
by McKinsey1 , the global revenue generated by payment industries has topped US$1.9 trillion, the largest annual increase
over the past five years. It is expected that the revenue will exceed US$3 trillion in the next five years. The world is moving
towards being a cashless society. In a Capgemini and BNP Paribas World Payment Report 2018, it was reported that non-cash
transaction volumes grew at an average of 10.1% in 2016 and are estimated to continue growing at an average of 21.6% from
2016 to 2021. Global electronic wallet (e-wallet transactions make up 8.6% of all non-cash transactions.
This highlights the potential for growth in new payment methods such as e-wallets and contactless payment via mobile
phones and cards as they continue to gain popularity among the masses, especially in developing and mature economies.
Global payments revenues grew 11 percent in 2017, the highest rate in the last 5 years.

The opportunities for digital payment are amplified with increased digital connectivity and e-commerce growth. In a study
conducted in Asia Pacific by Paypal, 92% of the consumers surveyed had access to the internet while 88% owned a
smartphone. The high internet penetration rate coupled with a high smartphone ownership present an opportunity for digital
payment to be pervasive in the years to come.

15Token Burning Mechanism
In order to maintain a healthy PAC tokenomics, different methods of burning PAC Tokens will be introduced via
different channels, keeping the token supply low while enhancing the value of the remaining tokens. This will also
enhance the utility of PAC Tokens in circulation.
Possible methods of token burning may include but are not limited to:
1. Daily trading fees generated from trading of PAC on GCOX exchange will be burned;
2. Limited-edition autographed merchandises by Manny Pacquaio or exclusive VIP tickets to private events will soon be up
for auction at Celeb-Auction. All PAC Tokens collected from the auction will be burned;
3. All PAC Tokens collected from Celeb-Connect and Fan-Connect platforms will be burned.
All to be burned tokens will be sent to wallet address "0xde9462B4e8B1a4872169C94255D92d14303F3A63" before
burning. This will ensure a transparent token burning mechanism and also represents GCOX’s commitment to our highly
valued investors to promote a sense of stability and reliability for the PAC Token project development.

Issuer and its business and operations, the PAC Tokens, the PAC Token Platforms or protocol, and the Token Sales, and all
information set out in this White Paper and the T&Cs prior to any purchase of the PAC Tokens. If any such risks and
uncertainties develop into actual events, the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer
could be materially and adversely affected. In such cases, you may lose all or part of the value of the PAC Tokens.
Please read the following risks and warnings before deciding to purchase PAC Tokens. It should be noted that the
following list of risks and warnings is not exhaustive. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should not place undue
reliance on these statements.
271. RISKS RELATING TO PARTICIPATION IN THE TOKEN SALES
The TOKEN SALES is not an offering of investment, securities, commodities or swaps
(a) The sale of the PAC Tokens and the PAC Tokens themselves are not currencies, securities of any form, units in a business
trust, units in a collective investment scheme, commodities, swaps or derivatives in respect of any of the foregoing, or
any other form of investment or financial asset, product or instrument;
(b) purchases and sales of the PAC Tokens are not subject to the protections of any laws governing those types of
financial instruments; and
(c) this White Paper does not constitute a prospectus or offering document, and is not an offer, invitation or solicitation to
buy or sell currencies, securities of any form, units in a business trust, units in a collective investment scheme, commodities,
swaps or derivatives in respect of any of the foregoing, or any other form of investment or financial asset, product or instrument.
The PAC Tokens have no rights, uses or attributes
The PAC Tokens are only intended to be used for the PAC Token Platforms (if successfully completed and deployed) as
detailed in this White Paper. Unless otherwise specifically stated in this White Paper, the PAC Tokens do not have any
rights, uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities or features. In particular, the PAC Tokens will not be entitled or linked to
any income stream, share of profits, dividends, debt or loans, or ownership of or rights to any underlying assets or
properties. Also, the PAC Tokens will not be linked or otherwise be related to any rights, options or interests in any shares,
stock, debentures, loan stocks, funds, bonds or notes. The PAC Token holders are not entitled to the shares of Issuer, and
proceeds from the Token Sales would not be accounted as debt, liability or equity capital items on the balance sheet of the
Issuer. The Issuer does not guarantee and is not representing in any way that the PAC Tokens have any particular or
minimum value. Any potential future token utilities indicated under this White Paper only represent PAC Group's
strategic intention in the future development of the project and there is no guarantee or representation that such
intention will be achieved in part or in full. In particular, the potential future token utilities may be subject to a fully
compliant regulatory infrastructure being set up and there is no guarantee that such infrastructure will be set up.
There is no prior market for the PAC Tokens and the Token Sales may not result in an active or liquid market for the PAC
Tokens.
Prior to the Token Sales, there has been no public market for the P A C Tokens. The Issuer will not support or
otherwise facilitate any secondary trading or external valuation of the PAC Tokens. This may restrict the possible avenues
for using the PAC Tokens, and could therefore limit any potential liquidity of the P A C Tokens. Even in the event
that the P A C Tokens are traded on a cryptocurrency exchange or on the DEX, there is no assurance that an
active or liquid trading market for the P A C Tokens will develop or if developed, be sustained after the PAC Tokens
have been made available for trading on such cryptocurrency exchange. There is also no assurance that the market price
of the PAC Tokens will not decline below the purchase price of the PAC Tokens (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price
may not be indicative of the market price of the PAC Tokens after they have been made available for trading on a
cryptocurrency exchange. The market price of the PAC Tokens may be extremely volatile and may diminish to zero. The
cryptocurrency exchanges may also be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them
more susceptible to market-related risks and market abuse activities. 28There may be no inherent value of the PAC Tokens and the PAC Tokens are not a currency issued by any central bank or national, supra-national or quasi-national organisation, nor are they backed by any hard assets or other credit. Unlike fiat currency, the PAC Tokens may have no use or recognition outside the PAC Token Platforms. The Issuer is not responsible for nor does it pursue the circulation and trading of PAC Tokens on the market. Trading of PAC Tokens merely depends on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants (if any), and no one is or will be obliged to purchase any PAC Token from any holder of the PAC Token, including the purchasers, nor does or will anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of PAC Tokens to any extent at any time. Accordingly, the Issuer cannot ensure that there will be any demand or market for P A C Tokens, or that the Purchase Price is indicative of the market price of P A C Tokens after they have been made available for trading on a cryptocurrency exchange. Representatives of various central banks and regulatory authorities, as well as senior market participants and academics, have warned of serious risks in relation to (i) token sales, (ii) cryptocurrency and digital tokens trading, including the extreme volatility, the lack of underlying economic value, the lack of regulation, and (iii) the use of cryptocurrencies or digital tokens for money laundering or money transfers. There is a real possibility that some or a conjunction of these factors will lead to government or regulatory intervention or market action which could severely affect the price and liquidity of the PAC Tokens. Unlike currency in bank accounts or accounts at other financial institutions, which may be subject to deposit protection schemes, the PAC Tokens are uninsured unless a holder specifically obtains private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by the Issuer, to offer recourse to a PAC Token holder. Future sales of the PAC Tokens could materially and adversely affect the market price of PAC Tokens Any future sale of the PAC Tokens would increase the supply of PAC Tokens and this may result in a downward price pressure on the PAC Tokens. The sale or distribution of a significant number of PAC Tokens outside of the Token Sales, or the perception that such further sales or issuance may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of the PAC Tokens. The Issuer reserves the right to change the duration of any timeframe for the distribution of the PAC Tokens, including, without limitation, the unavailability or non-functionality of the website or other unforeseen procedural or security issues. Negative publicity may materially and adversely affect the price of the PAC Tokens Negative publicity involving the Issuer, the PAC Token Platforms, the P A C Tokens or any of the key personnel of the Issuer may materially and adversely affect the market perception or market price of the PAC Tokens, whether or not such negative publicity is justified. The PAC Tokens may not end up being popular, prevalent or widely distributed. The PAC Tokens may remain of marginal interest in the long run, appealing to only a minimal fraction of holders. An absence of active holders or low level of utilization may negatively affect the long-term development and future of the PAC Tokens and reduce or adversely affect the utility of the PAC Tokens. There is no assurance of any success of the PAC Token Platforms The value of, and demand for, the PAC Tokens depends on the performance of the PAC Token Platforms. There is no assurance that the PAC Token Platforms will gain traction after its launch and achieve any commercial success. 29
As with any project, the development of the PAC Token Platforms, and the execution of the project more broadly, carries
with it the risk of delay and even failure. The core team has a relevant track record of development and business
management experience, but this is not a guarantee of success. The team will endeavour to achieve the milestones
outlined in this White Paper; however, it is under no obligation to do so.
The PAC Token Platforms may be subject to further changes, updates and adjustments. Such changes may result in
unexpected and unforeseen effects on its projected appeal to users, and hence impact its success.
Further, while the Issuer will make every reasonable effort to complete the PAC Token Platforms, due to the technically
complex nature of the PAC Token Platforms, the Issuer could face difficulties from time to time that may be unforeseeable or
unresolvable. Accordingly, it is possible that the development of the PAC Token Platforms could fail, terminate or be
delayed at any time for any reason, and an official completed version of the PAC Token Platforms may not be released and
there may never be an operational PAC Token Platforms. Development failure or termination may render the P A C
Tokens un-transferable, of reduced or no utility, or obsolete.
PAC Tokens’ governance structure, fees, purpose, consensus mechanism, algorithm, code, infrastructure design and other
technical specifications and parameters may be updated and changed frequently without notice. While this White Paper
contains the key information currently available in relation to the project, it is subject to adjustments and updates from
time to time. The PAC Token Platforms may also be subject to regulatory supervision in a relevant jurisdiction and
distribution of information relating to the PAC Token Platforms may be restricted to qualified persons pursuant to
applicable laws and regulations. The PAC Token holders may not have full or timely access to all the information
relevant to the project (including the PAC Token Platforms or the PAC Tokens).
Although we intend for the PAC Tokens and the PAC Token Platforms to follow the specifications set forth in this White
Paper, and we will take commercially reasonable steps toward those ends, we may have to make changes to the
specifications of the PAC Tokens or the PAC Token Platforms for any number of reasons. This could create the risk that the
PAC Tokens or the PAC Token Platforms, as further developed and maintained, may not meet participants' expectations.
Furthermore, despite the Issuer's good faith efforts to develop and maintain the PAC Token Platforms, it is possible that the
PAC Token Platforms will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed or maintained, which may
negatively impact the PAC Token Platforms and the PAC Tokens.
30If and when the PAC Token Platforms are fully developed, there is no assurance they will be widely adopted or utilised by its
target users.
The trading price of the PAC Tokens may fluctuate following the Token Sales
The prices of cryptographic tokens in general are highly volatile when compared to other assets such as stocks, bonds, and
other alternative investment instruments, and accordingly the prices of cryptographic tokens can fluctuate significantly over
short periods of time. The demand for, and correspondingly the market price of, the PAC Tokens may fluctuate significantly
and rapidly in response to, among others, the following factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Issuer:
a) new technical innovations;
b) analysts’ speculations, recommendations, perceptions or estimates of the PAC Token’s market price or the Issuer’s
financial and business performance;
c) changes in market valuations and token prices of entities with operations similar to that of the Issuer, whether or not they
are made available for sale and purchase on the same cryptocurrency exchanges as the PAC Tokens;
d) announcements by the Issuer of significant events, for example partnerships, sponsorships, new product
developments;
e) fluctuations in market prices and trading volume of cryptocurrencies on cryptocurrency exchanges;
f) additions or departures of key personnel of the Issuer;
g) success or failure of the Issuer’s management in implementing business and growth strategies; and
h) changes in conditions affecting the blockchain or financial technology industry, the general economic conditions or
market sentiments, or other events or factors.
It is also possible that alternative platforms could be established that utilize the same source code and protocol underlying
the PAC Token Platforms and the PAC Tokens. These may attempt to facilitate services that are materially similar to those
provided by the Issuer through the PAC Token Platforms. Such alternative platforms may compete with the PAC Token
Platforms, which could negatively impact the usage of the PAC Token Platforms and the value of the PAC Tokens.
The funds raised in the Token Sales are exposed to risks of theft
The Issuer will make every effort to ensure that the funds received from the Token Sales will be securely held at such
address as directed by the Issuer (“Receiving Address”). Further, upon receipt of the funds, the Issuer will make every
effort to ensure
