Rick Ross to Walk Out with Manny Pacquiao for Shane Mosley Fight

(AllHipHop News) Manny Pacquaio will show solidarity with Hip-Hop culture by having Miami emcee Rick Ross walk him to the ring for his May 7 showdown with Shane Mosley. Ross confirmed the news yesterday via his Twitter account. Both men became acquainted with each other after participating in Nike’s 2010 ”Boom” commercial campaign. Last week, Pacquiao’s lifelong friend and assistant trainer Buboy Fernandez endorsed Ross’ Maybach Music brand via a Youtube video. Ross has engaged in public feuds with both Floyd Mayweather, Pacquiao’s main rival, and Mayweather’s close friend 50 Cent over perceived slights in Ross’ “Mafia Music.” 50 has publicly supported Mayweather in several fights, most notably accompanying him to the ring for his record-breaking 2007 showdown with Oscar De La Hoya. High-profile boxers have sought out rap figures to enhance their ring walks since the mid 90′s, including Naseem Hamed (Diddy), Roy Jones Jr (Method Man and Redman), Cory Spinks (Nelly) and Mike Tyson (Tupac Shakur). May 7 will mark the first time Pacquiao has done a ring walk with a rapper. At press time, neither Pacquiao nor Ross have disclosed what music will be used. http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2011/04/29/22695745.aspx

Damn, this isn't like Manny's politically correct style at all. All this might rub off on Pacquiao and he starts to embrace the trash talkin'/beefing. Imagine him coming out with a "41-1 Castillo beat Mayweather", T-Shirt. Starts ripping into Floyd Mayweather's record with his broken English. Pokin fun of Floyd's bridle hands etc,. On second thought, I'd like to see this. :dance::dance:

Co-fukkin sign. Except you gotta get your facts kinda straight. Rick was beefin' wit Floyd for a hot minute too haha. Fukkin Pac having officer ross walk out with him. Can't wait til Mosley shows them the real mothafukkin Boss and knocks him unconscious. I knew about that. They supposedly were close to fighting at one of Diddy's birthday's or something like that, Diddy broke it up before it got out of hand. If I remember the story correctly.

Lmao that shit's going to be odd as fuck. Watching Pacquiao walk to the ring next to a bigass rapper doesn't suit him at all.

That's a dumb move, he's stooping down to Mayweather's level. That is the worst thing he can do. Manny's a good guy, he doesn't need to be associating himself with these idiots. Why doesn't he just come out to "Sometimes When We Touch?"
