Pacquiao billboard looms over L.A.

It’s another first for the Philippines’ pound-for-pound boxing champion. Though this boxer’s billboards are commonplace in the country, Manny Pacquiao's Nike AW77 hood sweatshirt billboard also towers over the skies of L.A.

The campaign, photographed by David Sims and styled and directed by Karl Templer includes the Filipino boxer’s billboard located atop the Nike Montalban Theater in Hollywood on Selma Avenue and Pine Street. The Pacman is in a gray and teal blue hoodie, with a trademark athelete’s bitchface (pardon the French). The billboard is located not far from the Wildcard Boxing Gym where the boxer trains in Los Angeles.

What took three months and four cities to produce was launched in October 2009. Nike featured seven athletes to sport the sweatshirt, and from its roster, Pacquiao emerged to join other globally renowned sports figures including Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova for tennis, Alexandre Pato for football, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant for basketball, and Sofia Boutella for gymnastics and dance.

As reported in the Asian Journal, Pacquiao’s billboard generated great interest. The same paper writes, “(Nike) has received positive response from the local Filipino community since the billboard went up.”

The same paper quoted a San Francisco event promoter stating, “for Nike to put Pacquiao’s face on a billboard on a major street speaks highly of the Filipinos buying power… He’s the biggest star in the Philippines and what this billboard shows is not only is Manny like the hugest icon but shows the marketing power of the Filipino

At the time the billboard went up, Pacquiao was training in Baguio City for a match against Miguel Cotto. In November 14, 2009, Pacquiao won the record-breaking event in 12 rounds at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao is currently in the running for a seat in government. His much-awaited match against Floyd Mayweather in 2010 has since been rife with controversy.

Pac Man on the cover of Time

“Pound-for-pound King” Manny Pacquiao is on the cover of Time Magazine’s Asian edition, available in newsstands starting this weekend, reports GMANews.tv.

Time Magazine devotes five pages to the boxer, who has won championships in six different weight divisions, including beating the equally competent and popular boxer Oscar de la Hoya during the eighth round for the welterweight crown in December 2008. This week, Pacquiao also made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and on ESPN’s Sports Center.

The boxer, now 30 years old, was once a street hawker, construction worker and stevedore in General Santos City until he became one of pro boxing’s most popular fighters. Pacquiao is also one of the Philippines’ most sought-after product endorsers, with endorsement contracts for health supplements, pain killers, a videoke mic and a brand of vitamin-enriched water, among others.

Pacquiao is set to challenge Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
