The 31-year-old Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 knockouts) also introduced a cologne, MP-7, named in honor of his seven belts in as many divisions, and promised to come up with MP-8 if he earns an eighth crown on Nov. 13, when he pursues the vacant WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds) crown opposite ex-titlist Antonio Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs) in their HBO pay-per-view televised, Top Rank Promotions battle slated for the Dallas Cowboys' Stadium.Pacquiao, who takes a 12-fight winning streak that includes eight KOs into his bout with Margarito, closed out his effort with a duet of John Lennon'ss classic, "Imagine," alongside comic actor Will Ferrell.
Appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live have been a good omen for Pacquiao.
For nearly a year ago to the day on Nov. 3, Pacquiao made his first appeareance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show, that one being two weeks prior to his 12th-round knockout that dethroned Miguel Cotto as WBO king.
Pacquiao was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, yet again, on March 3, preceding his 12-round unanimous decision over Joshua Clottey on March 13 in the first-ever fight at Cowboys Stadium.
Pacquiao has been named Fighter Of The Year in 2008, 2009, and, for 2010, as well as Fighter Of The Decade.
