HOLLYWOOD,
CALIF. (November 16, 2012) – Juan Manuel Márquez, eat
your heart out!
In
a battle of pound for pound box office attractions, eight-division world
champion and Fighter of the Decade CONGRESSMAN MANNY PACQUIAO and
television’s late-night comedy king JIMMY KIMMEL will go mano a mallo for
the seventh time – more than any other
active fighter -- in their series of entertaining appearances together dating
back to November 3, 2009. Pacquiao
will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Next
Wednesday ! November 21, on ABC, beginning at Midnight ET/PT. Sold
out for weeks, Wednesday’s episode will also feature comedian/actor Tim Allen and a musical performance by Flo Rida.
Kimmel,
the self-proclaimed “lucky rabbit’s foot” of Pacman, has had the Filipino icon
on his show before every fight for the past three years, with the first
appearance taking place just one week before Pacquiao’s successful challenge of
then-WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto. It also marked Pacquiao's late night
network television debut. It was on that night that Pacquiao unveiled his
singing chops, belting out a rendition of the Dan Hill-penned hit ballad
"Sometimes When We Touch," a song Hill and Pacquiao later remade. The single
rose to No. 7 on the Secondary
Adult Contemporary Chart as measured by the Friday Morning Quarterback Album
Report (FMQB), where it spent four weeks in the Top-10 during the summer of
2011.
Pacquiao
(53-4-2, 38 KOs), the lone congressional representative of the Sarangani
province in the Philippines, is in deep training for Act

titles in 12 weight divisions between them, will go mano a mano and toe-to-toe
in a high-stakes welterweight showdown, Saturday, December 8, at the MGM Grand
