World Champion Boxer Manny Pacquiao Trains with Butterfinger Cups for Fight of the Century

Glendale, CALIF. (April 1, 2015) ? Upon learning that NESTLɮ BUTTERFINGER? CUPS are a key part of the training regimen of Fighter of the Decade Manny ?Pacman? Pacquiao, Butterfinger has bet one million on its newest fan, Pacquiao, to win the ?Fight of the Century? which will take place on May 2, in Las Vegas. Pacquiao, boxing?s only eight-division world champion, is preparing for his biggest career challenge by adding a secret weapon to his training table.

?When I am training, I never cut corners, and that is what makes Butterfinger Cups the best peanut butter cup ? they don?t cut corners either,? noted Pacquiao. ?Butterfinger and I always go the extra mile to distinguish ourselves. For us, being different is the difference.?

?We are proud to be in Manny?s corner and show our support of him in this fight of the century,? said Fabiola del Rio, Butterfinger brand manager. ?Manny represents a different kind of competitor, just as Butterfinger is a different kind of peanut butter cup, and different is good. Go Manny!?

Top Rank's Lucia McKelvey secured this new and fun deal with Butterfinger and PACQUIAO. "Butterfinger and Pacquiao go together like peanut butter and chocolate. I cannot reveal the details but I assure you it was a square deal.? said McKelvey

The different kind of peanut butter cup that made its highly anticipated debut last year, Butterfinger Cups are Pacquiao?s secret weapon and go-to-treat as he prepares for the fight of the century. Square-shaped like a boxing ring, Butterfinger Cups bring an unexpected crunch to the smooth combination of peanut butter and chocolate.
