The world's toughest boxer also has a soft side and loves to sing. Manny Pacquiao is especially fond of love ballads, so some wacko produced this video combining Pac-Man's crooning and the ever-present storyline -- that's he's distracted from boxing.
There is a slightly more serious side to this story. This video sampled Dan Hill's "Sometimes when we touch" because Pacquiao actually performed the song on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show before his last fight. In a crazy twist, Pac-Man actually spent time recently in a Los Angeles studio with the original singer Dan Hill.
At Capitol Records, Hill and Pacquiao laid down a new version of the song. The irony of a feared boxer singing his '70s hit, makes Hill chuckle.
"Here’s a song that in the '70s people said 'Men shouldn’t be singing this kind of stuff.' I was literally blackballed as the wimp of the year. I got a lot of abuse for that song, particularly in Canada, even though it did very well," Hill said.
"I’m sure that’s part of the draw is ‘What the heck is this guy who’s the toughest guy in the world doing singing this song that people think of as this sappy, sentimental song?’ But that is the great thing about the world is these wonderful, unintentional ironies."
