Another day, another Hollywood Star is stopping by to meet Manny Pacquiao. It’s almost like Manny has become the latest Hollywood trend. Some of America’s top motion picture celebrities have stopped by the Wild Card gym to witness the world’s “pound for pound” best boxer display his phenomenal skills. Move over Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao is now the one who’s “Dancing with the Stars”.
Steven Seagal
Last week, action film star Steven Seagal stopped by to visit Manny. They had dinner and discussed life, culture, and fighting. In addition to these discussions, Seagal also proposed a possible movie with Manny. It was such a great experience for the two that Pacquiao invited Seagal to the fight on March 13th.
"We had a great time together. The time just flew by. We discussed the possibility of working together in movies and making joint concert appearances," he added. We also discovered that we share a bond in Asian philosophy and philanthropy.”… Manny Pacquiao, ABS-CBN News
Danny Trejo
Danny Trejo stopped by the Wild Card gym yesterday to meet and greet the PacMan. Trejo is best known for his roles as a tough guy or criminal. He’s recognized by the tattoos all over his body. He’s starred in such films “Desperado”, “From Dusk til Dawn”, “Heat”, and Con Air”. Trejo presented Manny with a picture of himself from his famous role in ‘Desperado”.
Jean Claude Van Damme
Also stopping by the Wild Card Gym was Jean Claude Van Damme. Van Damme is an international film star, who like Seagal, has a long history of practicing martial arts. Van Damme is best known for his roles in the films “BloodSport”, “Universal Soldier”, and “Time Cop”. Van Damme has been recently rumored to want to get into MMA. Their encounter went so well, that Manny has also invited Jean to join him at the fight on March 13th.
Eddie Javier Sacramento, CA “Has Manny become the new Hollywood attraction?”
Eddie, I believe his boxing success and personal maturity have attracted a lot of people including other celebrities. His training is truly starting to attract the “who’s who” of Hollywood action films. It really adds to the popularity of the PacMan.
Jamie Lorenz Sacramento, CA “Has Manny replace Floyd as the top boxing star in America?”
Jamie, I think that if he hasn’t already, Pacquiao will surpass Floyd shortly. Especially after the “60 Minutes” and “Good Morning America” pieces that are coming up shortly. I think it’s really cool how someone as laidback and humbled as Pacquiao is moving up the ranks in Hollywood and he hasn’t even made a Hollywood movie or TV show yet.
