Wearing his signature, vest, hat and long sleeved polo shirt, looking very much a dapper gentleman, Manny Pacquiao sang twice on the highly rated ABC Jimmy Kimmel show. The song "sometimes when we touch" although a tad cheesy, still won the hearts of the audience and fans around the world.
Manny is a cross-over star like no other. Given his race, color, nationality and broken English "you know" he has managed to steal the sports thunder of the likes of Tiger Woods and Kobe Braynt. In fact whole NBA teams come to watch him fight. Superstars of the NFL and Hollywood celebs like Mark Wahlberg and Mickey Rourke at are all his fights. Pacquiao is excitement, raw, real and very much in touch with his fans
Manny has graced, huge stadiums like the LA dodgers, NY giants baseball ceremonial pitch. You will see him distributing turkeys during Thanksgiving. The Pacman gives as much as he receives - he once gave out $250,000 worth of tickets to his fight against Oscar Delahoya - ask Mike Tyson who was one of the lucky recipients
It's stuff like this that makes Manny a rockstar, from appearances and non-media events, the fighting pride of the Philippines is setting the tone and trend for other mega-athletes to follow. Lets hope that future sports stars, no matter if it be from boxing, MMA or the NBA, all take a page form the Pacquiao notebook, and become true, great representatives of their sport, and ultimately their humanity.
