Juan Manuel Marquez Arrives in Manila

Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez arrived in Manila on Thursday, September 1, for the kick-off leg of a four-city promotional tour for the Marquez-Pacquiao November 12 fight in Las Vegas.

After Manila, Marquez and Manny Pacquiao will head to New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City in a span of 1 week.

This is the third fight between Marquez and Pacquiao. Their first fight in 2004 resulted to a draw while their 2008 fight ended in a split decision in favor of Pacquiao.

Recently, "Juan Miguel Marquez" trended on Twitter for telling 24 Oras that he drinks his own urine before big fights because it is a good source of vitamins.

Manny Pacquiao Gets Impersonated on a Fox Show

Recently, the newest impersonator of the boxing champ and Sarangani Representative Manny Pacquiao has been spotted and it was no less than the American comedian Affion Crockett.

Affion's impersonation of Manny Pacquiao was aired on the pilot episode of the comedian's new show on Fox titled In The Flow With Affion Crockett. The series is executive-produced by Jamie Foxx.

In the impersonation, Pacman was an American Idol judge together with coach Freddie Roach. Pacman commented on the contestant's performance and talked about his political and singing career, as well as Floyd Mayweather.

The controversial part of the video was the "vitamins" part which could easily be connected by the boxing fans to the "steroids" that Pacman was being accused of using by Mayweather.

Watch the video of Affion Crockett's impersonation of boxing champ Manny Pacquiao below.

Paris Hilton Dines With the Pacquiaos

As reported earlier, the American socialite and hotel heiress was hoping to meet boxer and Sarangani Representative Manny Pacquiao and wife Jinkee while she's here in the Philippines. She first met the couple last May in the US.

And just recently, Pacman had dinner with Paris Hilton. He was accompanied by wife Jinkee, Ilocos Sur Governor Luis Singson, and an entourage including the young Kapuso teen star Enzo Pineda and his mom and dad Eric Pineda, who is Pacman's business manager.

In an interview at the House of Representatives this afternoon, Pacman said he will discuss with Paris a possible business venture and will encourage her to do charity works. Details about the business venture, though, weren't divulged further but the boxer promised to eventually inform the media about it.

Manny Pacquiao's Manila Polo Club Application Rejected

It was reported last month that Manny Pacquiao has bought a house at Forbes Park in Makati for a rumored sum of P388 million. As we all know, Forbes Park is where the multi-millionaires of the country resides.

Forbes Park has this exclusive elite club called Manila Polo Club (MPC). It was said that the boxing superstar applied for membership at the said club but was rejected.

It was said that the MPC is a small club in a small village and the club want to preserve a lifestyle. MPC is said to be strict with members bringing in guests. Perhaps they're worried that Manny Pacquiao would bring in his whole entourage as guests every time he goes there.

Too bad.
