Manny Pacquiao Gives Jimmy Kimmel 'Pac Man' Swag, Talks Meeting Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Manny Pacquiao’s training regimen for his May 2 bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. — perhaps this year’s most anticipated sporting event — included a stop by Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The 36-year-old Filipino boxer came bearing gifts: He presented Kimmel with a “Pacman” baseball hat, as well as a stocking cap emblazoned with the logo for the upcoming fight. Kimmel took a few moments to review the tortured history behind this oft-delayed face-off, which finally came to pass after the combatants met each other on neutral ground at a Miami Heat basketball game. “That meeting helped a lot,” Pacquiao confirmed, adding that he and Mayweather exchanged phone numbers and later met at his hotel to talk. This naturally set off Kimmel’s innuendo alert. “I thought there was supposed to be no sex before a fight!” the host joked, cracking Pacquiao up. That’s probably a question better suited for Pacquiao’s trainer.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on ABC.
