    "I want to make fans happy and a lot of boxing in the ring"

    "I want to help people"

    If someone asks a question that can't be answered by those 3, he just gives a lot of 'ahhhhs' or just doesn't answer. You would think that Top Rank would get him a private language tutor, but his English has been limited to those phrases for like 5 years now. Even Marquez seems to be a better communicator in English than him now, JMM put in the work to learn the language and he's not 1/100th the celebrity Manny is in the U.S.
    Pacquaio didnt understand the questions. He doesnt have anyone in his entourage preparing him for interviews correctly. That interview was painful to watch and at times I laughed out loud. His politics is a joke. I love Pacquiao as fighter , but not as a politician. Why is Arum campaigning for Pacquiao? I'm sure he has some sort of cut.

      you should watch manny's interviews with jimmy kimmel.

      i don't agree with mr kimmel's politics, but i like how he could formulate questions that allow manny to actually shine, in spite of his limited english.

        Jimmy Kimmel can be a jerk in interviews, but he likes Pacquiao. Kimmel helps Pacquiao with the answers. Piers Morgan questions were straight forward. Pacquiao is relying on his boxing popularity to advance his political career. His intelligence is in the ring not in academics.

              Are people only just realising Piers is a **** interviewer?

              He's one of the rudest and most irritating people on planet earth. So glad you Americans have to put up with him now...

                If Pacquiao answers in his own language (visayan) he will be giving more meaningful and heartfelt replies ....

                English just dont translate that well specially if you have a Jerk interviewer....

                  When you see him in 24/7 responding or speaking in his natural language he's not full of uhhhs, ahhhhs,, uhmmmmmmms. What does that tell you? He's not fluent in the language and it's not com*****g properly. I am annoyed with him not getting a translator so he doesn't sound like an idiot but he's trying because he needs to try to reach the american public somehow.
