Now coming off the Hewlett Packard superstars endorsement bench, in place of a busy with Boston LeBron James, is basketball mad Manny Pacquiao.
The Miami Heat superstar was tied up with the aging Celtics in Game Five of their series with Boston facing elimination Wednesday night.
James and the computer maker had hoped he could be in Los Angeles (Universal City) to shoot a commercial hyping HP’s newest handheld computers but the NBA playoffs precluded that.
Fortunately, Pacman was at the same location on Wednesday shooting spots of the company’s ITablet and has agreed to step in for James on Thursday.
“Lebron had to beg out understandably but Manny was on the spot and now he’ll get a second day of commercials for HP,” promoter Bob Arum said Wednesday night.
I asked Arum how lucrative the HP spots might be for Pacman.
“For two days work, Manny will get what you can earn in your lifetime,” Arum said.
Come on, Bob, my page views and legal fees are on the rise.
