The world boxing champ started his day with the famous morning show where he invited all the television viewers nationwide to support his April 9, 2011 bout where he headlines ALA Promotions and ABS-CBN Sports' PINOY PRIDE 5: BATTLE OF CHAMPIONS.
The snake man was interviewed by celebrity hosts legend Rico J. Puno, Donito Rose, Venus Raj, Plinky Webb and Alex Santos.
Moments after the interview, Nietes was whisked away from the lively morning show to the next studio where the phenomenal mid day program SHOWTIME! is showcased.
Nietes joined the crowd and the cast of hosts headed by the infamous Vice Ganda, the sultry Anne Curtis, the very talented Vhong Navarro, the elegant Karylle Marquez and Kim Atienza who did an interview with the Filipino ring hero.
