The pound-for-pound king graces the Jimmy Kimmel Live with his presence once again last Wednesday, March 3 to promote the upcoming Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Manny Pacquiao was first appear on the American late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last November to promote the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight which he emerged victorious.

Wearing a trendy red leather jacket with Philippine flag embroidered, Pacquiao talks with the show’s host Kimmel about various topics like his upcoming fight with Joshua Clottey, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and his political plans in the Philippines.
Even before Kimmel was able to start asking questions, the Pinoy-dominated audience started chanting “Manny, Manny, Manny…”

“Fans are very confident that I’ll win the fight [against Clottey],” said the Filipino champ. “But for me, nobody knows.”

“He’s a former champion so I don’t underestimate [Clottey],” he added.

When he was asked about Mayweather and the drug testing issues, the Pinoy champ replied, “I agreed to a blood test but not close to the fight. That would be [in] his advantage because he’s bigger than me.”

The Manny Pacquiao said Mayweather could be using the demand as an excuse not to fight him.

“I think he’s not ready for the fight. The job of the fighter is to train hard and fight in the ring. You do not need to change the rules because there’s the Nevada Athletic Commission to implement the rules,” he added.

Later after the interview, Pacman sang George Benson’s song “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You” while the Filipino crowd swayed their hands with the tune.

After his rendition, the crowd went chanting again, “Manny, Manny, Manny…”
