Manny Pacquiao to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live again

Boxing News World

A little boxer from a tiny Asian archipelago gracing a popular American talk show is as uncommon as Paulie Malignaggi knocking people out in the ring. But believe it or not, the Filipino ring icon will be back on Jimmy Kimmel Live on March 3 according to Los Angeles Times.

Just a couple of months ago before his fight against Puerto Rican slugger Miguel Cotto, Pacquiao emerged from the backstage of the famous late-night talk show in blue jeans and belted his own rendition of Dan Hill’s “Sometimes When We Touch” before a cheering audience who were mostly Filipinos.

Pacquiao’s scheduled appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live for the second time is a testament of his enormous popularity and crossover appeal. He’s also scheduled to be featured on CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’, an American television newsmagazine which is considered by many to be the preeminent investigative television program in the United States, and on ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’, a famous American morning news talk show sometime next month.

Pacquiao is expected to drive his posh Mercedez Benz car to the show again. This time, however, his lovely wife Jinky would probably be the one on the passenger seat. (Photo: Manny Pacquiao and Jimmy Kimmel)
