LOS ANGELES, Calif. –
Wonderful Pistachios announced today its sponsorship of the upcoming
Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez fight on December 8 at the MGM
Grand in Las Vegas. Additionally, Wonderful Pistachios will
debut their Get Crackin’ commercial starring Pacquiao during Monday
Night Football, as he “does it with a knockout punch.”
This
will be the fourth time Pacquiao and Marquez square off in the ring,
and this matchup is anticipated to draw millions of viewers. Also sure
to draw some attention is the new Wonderful Pistachios commercial
featuring Pacquiao. In the
spot, Pacquiao is shown warming up on a speed bag, and once he goes in
for the final knockout – pistachios burst out of the bag and at the
screen as the announcer says, “Manny Pacquiao does it with a knockout
punch.”
Wonderful Pistachios is also sponsoring
2012 Olympian, Jose Ramirez, the USA Boxing all-time record holder with
145 wins, 11 national titles and six consecutive USA gold medals. The
20-year-old lightweight boxer is making his professional
boxing debut on December 8 as the undercard of the fourth meeting
between Pacquiao and Marquez. Ramirez was born and raised in Avenal, CA,
a rural agricultural community in the Central Valley and the same place
where Wonderful Pistachios are grown. Paramount
Farms, the parent company of Wonderful Pistachios, began sponsoring
Ramirez so he could spend more time focused on school and training, and
has continued their support through the Olympics, and this upcoming
fight.
“As athletes, Manny Pacquiao and Jose
Ramirez are the epitome of physical health, and as one of the lowest
calorie, lowest fat nuts, Wonderful Pistachios are an excellent snack
choice for competitors and fans alike,” said Mark Masten, vice
president of global sales and marketing, Paramount Farms. “Sponsoring
this fight is an opportunity for Wonderful Pistachios to reach the
boxing community by having a presence at the main event, and with our
consumers watching at home. It’s a knockout win for
all!”
Now in its fourth season, the iconic
Wonderful Pistachios Get Crackin’ commercials highlight how every
character cracks open a pistachio in their own unique way. Pacquiao
joins an elite nutty cast of characters including Snoop Lion, The
Simpsons and The Village People.
