   Boxing's pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao will appear on MTV's popular dance hit show "America's Best Dance Crew" (ABDC) along with celebrity host Mario Lopez.

   Pacquiao recently took time off from  his busy schedule in preparing for his defense of the WBO title belt against Ghanaian native Joshua Clottey.

The Filipino boxer will appear on one of MTV’s most popular shows after he was invited by his friend and host, Mario Lopez.

   At the live taping, Pacquiao was introduced to a studio audience of several hundred - mostly young adults - and was met with loud cheers.

ABDC's next episode will be shown on Thursday, February 25 at 10pm EST / 9pm CST.

   Lopez has previously interviewed Pacquiao on HBO Sports' popular 24 / 7 pre-fight series.

   Prize fighting's pound-for-pound king will also be featured on MTV Cribs, a popular 30-minute show on the network which showcases the homes of athletes and celebrities.

   MTV's television crew arrived at Pacquiao's mansion in Los Angeles and was shown around the house by the Filipino fighter.  The episode is expected to air within a few weeks and likely prior to summer.  MTV has also historically shown reruns of prior episodes.

Finally, Pacquiao will re-appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on March 3rd.  It will be the boxer's second appearance on the ABC network after he sang “Sometimes when we touch” in his first appearance in fall 2009.

    Manny will also be featured in an upcoming CBS "60 Minutes" show.

   Pacquiao's appearances on U.S. television confirms his popularity in mainstream sports. 

The move might also be a public relations counter to rival Floyd Mayweather, Jr's publicity campaign against the Filipino icon in recent interviews on networks such as ESPN, Fox Sports, and NBA.com

   He has also given disparaging statements against Pacquiao, implying that the WBO welterweight champion has something to hide by "not taking a $25 million drug test."

Pacquiao's fight against the larger Clottey is nearly two weeks away, and will be held on March 13th at the new $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.          - International Sports Examiner

  • HEAT ME 2 years ago

    MANNY PACQUIAO " THE ICON" WITH A HEART OF A TRUE CHAMPION IDOLIZED BY MANY. BUT HE NEVER CALL HIMSELF LIKE A SUPERSTAR, NOT EVEN MEGASTAR OR SORT. I REMEMBER HE SAID ONLY LIKE HE IS A FIGHTER OR AN ATHLETE, AND LOVES TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE. MANY TIMES HE SAID HE IS WILLING TO FIGHT EVERYDAY, JUST TO SEE A PEACEFUL AND UNITED PHILIPPINES. REMAIN HUMBLE MANNY, FOR GOD EXHALTS THOSE WHO ARE, AND PUTS DOWN TO SHAME THOSE WHO ARE BOASTFUL. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW.

  • Pacquiao the Orangutan 2 years ago

    I don't think MTV audience can dig on what Pacquiao has to say, they willlook at him after and say "What did he just say?" He'd be like a talking monkey on MTV!

    when mayweather WAS. the p4p king
    was he popular like manny?
    If its not
    then i cant say i blame mayweather for hating manny hahahahha
    his no longer the p4p
    on top of that his losing fans everywhere
    his being called a coward gayweather etc.
    I dont know how this guy can take all of this insults
    come on man step up to manny
    you said it your self manny is nothing
    then if his nothing whats with all this bull about blood testing
    fight him and prove it to all of us your not gay scared etc.
    Unless youre just like one of you family who likes to beat up women

  • Johnny 2 years ago

    Marv, we noticed that you would not praise so much Pacquiao. We can understand this but when you do not even defend him from baseless criticism even just a little semblance, we cannot reconcile and we don't understand if we are of the same blood or not.

    Like this line on this article:

    "He has also given disparaging statements against Pacquiao, implying that the WBO welterweight champion has something to hide by "not taking a $25 million drug test."

    You did not even said that this is without proof and Manny has not been tested before of any PEDs. Bro, we appeal to you, please defend our hero. Your blood Manny's blood and our blood are the same, we belong to one country. Unless you will disown us then we appeal to you to even just show little defense to our own. Thanks a bunch Marv.

    manny appears in a more popular american tv shows comparing with floyd...though he can speak a fluent english, he talks in a humble manner unlike boastful floyd

  • AXLR8 2 years ago

    gayweather shuld be listed atthe bottorm of 10's beest welterweight since coming from retirement...back to 0. he got no true champ belt.

  • rain 2 years ago

    hey guys, we actually need to thank gayweather for marketing pacman, everytime ployd goes on air to public..he never missed a chance to mention pacman...therefore, this is a free advertisement/ no charge hype for manny and clottey for the march 13 fight...go ployd talk about pacman...on ther other hand, when did you hear manny mention KFC's name? only unless he was asked about ployd..if not, manny never bother to mention ployd, manny doesn't want to waste a second about KFC...that's why KFC is so jealous about manny...

  • Mosley via ko 2 years ago

    Floyd must be obsessed of pacman.always mentioning the name pacquiao whenever he's on media ,it does make floyd follow where ever the pacman goes.second is a better place than third that i'm sure he's happy with it.

  • please manny 2 years ago

    please manny, shadow box in one of these shows.

    i am sure that will be the most amazing thing ordinary non boxing fans will ever see, enough maybe to draw them to watch your fights.

  • gayweather2 2 years ago

    Hey all the gayweather fans out there.. your idol doesn't care about his fans, he only cares only by himself and his money!! compare to Pacman, he love his countrymen, fans, family and important is God!

  • M.Azlan 2 years ago

    Hey Marv, ever heard of this question: Can any other city in the WORLD other than Vegas,USA capable of staging Bigger/Spectacular Events? Since Pacman is already giving hints of having 1-2 fights left and eyeing retirement, can we have Uncle Bob thoughts on taking Pac to the world stage on a world tour showcasing his #1 Boxer of the Decade supremacy fighting the best out there proving his real World Boxing King Champion caliber from Sydney to Shanghai, Tokyo to Dubai, Macau to Berlin and Hong Kong to London! Knowing Pacman's desire to show a good fight to all boxing fans, especially his loyal Pactards amd army of OFWs abroad, I'm sure Uncle Bob will find ways and means to get something on, especially if it means to promote boxing to the world. Pacman fights in USA already giving decent PPV sales, so having Pacman fight in all the grand arena of the world should generate more PPV from USA, Latin Americas, Asia and Europe, especially if Pac is fighting a local champion!
