Manny Pacquiao sings at Jimmy Kimmel Live
Manny Pacquiao sings “Sometimes when we touch” in the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show. I think this is in anticipation of the upcoming Pacquaio – Cotto fight on November 14, 2009 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A. Manny sings not too bad, who among the best boxers in the world can sing? Manny may be always practice singing with his videoke. Mabuhay ka Manny!
