Pacquiao recently took time off from his busy schedule in preparing for his defense of the WBO title belt against Ghanaian native Joshua Clottey.

The Filipino boxer will appear on one of MTV’s most popular shows after he was invited by his friend and host, Mario Lopez.
At the live taping, Pacquiao was introduced to a studio audience of several hundred - mostly young adults - and was met with loud cheers.
ABDC's next episode will be shown on Thursday, February 25 at 10pm EST / 9pm CST.
Lopez has previously interviewed Pacquiao on HBO Sports' popular 24 / 7 pre-fight series.

Prize fighting's pound-for-pound king will also be featured on MTV Cribs, a popular 30-minute show on the network which showcases the homes of athletes and celebrities.
MTV's television crew arrived at Pacquiao's mansion in Los Angeles and was shown around the house by the Filipino fighter. The episode is expected to air within a few weeks and likely prior to summer. MTV has also historically shown reruns of prior episodes.

Finally, Pacquiao will re-appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on March 3rd. It will be the boxer's second appearance on the ABC network after he sang “Sometimes when we touch” in his first appearance in fall 2009.

Manny will also be featured in an upcoming CBS "60 Minutes" show.
Pacquiao's appearances on U.S. television confirms his popularity in mainstream sports.
The move might also be a public relations counter to rival Floyd Mayweather, Jr's publicity campaign against the Filipino icon in recent interviews on networks such as ESPN, Fox Sports, and NBA.com.
He has also given disparaging statements against Pacquiao, implying that the WBO welterweight champion has something to hide by "not taking a $25 million drug test."

]Jabba had 1 black guy, that is jabba in the video. All of em are Pinoys except 1. Super crew was mostly pinoy too.
No. The six that where on American Best Dance crew where not all filipino. There was only 3 of them that where filipino. Who cares about what race they where. The Jabbawockeez where just tight as a whole group. Them and Kabba where the best, wack ass Status Quo should have been eliminated a long time ago. Just saying :boxing:

Asians in Jabbas were mostly majority Pinoy they were even in the philippines getting their props so were super crew 2nd season winner they were also in the philippines getting their props.. The second one that won, super crew, even waived the Philippine flag after and one of the guys in super crew was a homeboy related to a close friend and the #1 bboy in the country. 3rd season winner had a bunch of Pinoys in there too. Not one crew has won without the majority of the crew being Pinoy.
Yeah mostly Pinoy crews have been winning that show 3 years straight against blacks so I doubt they wanna be losers. It is also one of the higher rated shows on television. Judges must be biased since 2 out of the 3 are black.
