Manny Pacquiao's duet with Will Ferrell is example of his popularity in America

 On last night's edition of "Jimmy Kimmel Live", Boxing's pound-for-pound best fighter Manny Pacquiao made an appearance to promote his November 13th fight against Antonio Margarito. But, what has everyone talking today is the duet that Manny Pacquiao did with the insanely popular Will Ferrell. The two gentlemen sang a personal favorite of mine "Imagine" by John Lennon.

For those that don't know, Will Ferrell is an extremely popular American comedian. Ferrell gained his notoriety by starring on the American comedy classic "Saturday Night Live".  My favorite movie by Will Ferrell is "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy".

This unique duet almost didn't come to fruition as Manny Pacquiao had his reservations' about performing this song and the duet. According to Pacquiao's advisor, Michael Koncz, it was only after rehearsal that Manny agreed to do it.

"Only after meeting Will Ferrell, and rehearsing it, (Pacquiao) felt that it would be a lot of fun, and it was enjoyable for him and it was a great evening,” Koncz, ABS CBN News

    Hi Rick, I'm of a Hispanic descent but believe me, I'm rooting for Manny for the reasons you stated above. He's just one of a kind among our current boxers & the past as well. God bless this great boxer for he has all the manners that make what A REAL MAN is supposed to be.And , may I add that he is a PHILANTHROPIST too.
