OK this is relevant to probably like none of you but just a friendly heads up. I'll try to post the video once it's available. Or I'll just wait for one of you guys to post it but either way, thought counts right?

I like the the pacman a lot. But OK. Jimmy Kimmel irritated me to no end in this interview. He came across as clueless, but in fairness he likely is regarding boxing. And I do not ever want to hear Pac sing another note. Plz, I beg of you.

Actually Youngblood Kimmel isn't clueless at all, he has ALWAYS had boxers on his show right from the very beginning. He actually knows his stuff and right before Pacquiao came out he was explaining to Pam Anderson why boxing is better then MMA. He always references boxers and has actually had some good talks with the likes of De La Hoya and Tyson about boxing. I've seen other boxers on other shows I like, such as Leno and Conan, and believe me that's where it's painfully obvious they know next to nothing about boxing. Not their fault but for a boxing fan it's disappointing sometimes. I think the issue in the interview was just Manny's English, guaranteed Kimmel was told to keep clarifying everything Pacquiao said. It made the interview a bit awkward at times as there was a clear language barrier. Pacquiao's English is good but probably not condusive to this type of talk show format.

Just saw it, kind of a boring interview really cause Manny was struggling at times to figure out what to say.

I do think its pretty funny that his daughter is named Queen Elizabeth Pacquaio.

Better version of the whole thing....

You gotta love Manny...

If only his English was a little better/fluent he'd be great.

Nonetheless I was all smiles watching it.

Pac loves him some Karaokee...

Ahh, fair enough. I only watched the clips from this thread and maybe his humor got lost on me + the awkward translations. I meant to watch the show and totally forgot about it, but glad to hear he is promoting it and it came off better then my first impression from the little I saw.

I still don't want to hear Pac sing any more tho. hahaha.

agreed. but then again, what can you ask from a guy who just recently went back to school coz he could afford it now. before he started boxing, i wouldnt be surprised if he barely passed 6th grade. i think he got his GED and now going to business school. not bad eh?
