Pound-for-pound king and recognized crossover superstar Manny Pacquiao is riding high as he combines relentless training at the Wild Card Gym with a series of appearances endorsing products including his very own ?MP8 Scent of the Champion.?
Pacquiao and owner Ron Robinson made a special appearance at a packed Ron Robinson/Fred Segal store on Melrose, Los Angeles Saturday.
Pacquiao was mobbed as he launched his own brand of signature men?s cologne which reflected his eight championships in eight different weight divisions that earned for him the coveted ?Fighter of the Decade? title from the prestigious Boxing Writers Association of America.
Pacquiao is in Los Angeles making final preparations for his upcoming World Welterweight mega fight against "Sugar" Shane Mosley on Saturday, May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
He had earlier visited the Nike store which sells a varied line of MP apparel that has proven to be extremely popular not just among Filipino-Americans but also Hispanics and Americans.
Pacquiao also made a fourth guest appearance on the popular ABC TV show ?Jimmy Kimmel Live? where excerpts of his DVD recording of the hit ?Sometimes When We Touch? with original composer/singer Dan Hill was telecast.
Manny also answered several questions ranging from his visit to Senate majority leader Harry Reid as well as President Barack Obama. Asked about his condition for the Mosley showdown, Pacquiao said he was ready to fight right now.
