Manny Pacquiao CNN Interview Talk Asia Video for Hatton Fight

Apr 28, 2009

Manny Pacquiao CNN Interview Talk Asia for Hatton Fight. The news segment reminds of Oscar De La Hoya CNN Interview during the US Election period.

CNN's Talk Asia catches up with Pacquiao at his gym in Los Angeles, as Anjali Rao asks the fighter about his love for his native Philippines, his boxing and foray in politics. The show also takes viewers to the small town of General Santos, where Pacquiao is revered for his boxing skills and community activism.

Anjali Rao cacthes Pacquiao in the final stages of his training for an upcoming bout with Britain's Ricky Hatton.

Dubbed the "Battle of East and West", the tickets to see the mega fight between "Pac-man" and "The Hitman" are already sold out. Despite the verbal sparring between their trainers, the Filipino fighter speaks highly of his British opponent: "Fighting with English fighter is my honor and Ricky Hatton is a nice person too. We don't care if they're talking trash. We try our best to give a good fight and make people happy."

For Pacquiao even the US$12 million dollar paycheck he's expecting from the fight can't beat the adulation he gets from his people. The national hero is grateful for his local support: "For my every fight, I always dedicate to my countrymen. I'm so happy because during my fight, there's no crime happening in the Philippines. Everybody watches on TV, watches my fight and I'm very happy." It's often reported that when Pacquiao is fighting, the crime rate falls to zero and the government's 40-year war with communist rebels came to a halt, as people pause to watch the bout.

The 30-year-old fighter made his mark in the ring with a stunning win over the legendary Oscar De La Hoya, which ended the Hispanic American's career. "He made a good decision to retire because he already made it in boxing as the best fighter in the world." Pacquiao added, "I feel of course proud and happy because his last fight was with me. But Oscar is still my idol. I admire that boxer."

As for life after boxing, Pacquiao's thoughts turn to politics, despite his defeat in 2007's congressional elections. "Before, because I'm in the top of my career and people they don't want me to enter into politics. I think that's why I lost in the last election. But this time, I prove them all they want to see in boxing, so the next step is going to run again in politics." But Pacquiao denies any plans to run for president: "No, my dream is to run for Congress only. I just want to help my countrymen, especially in Santos City."

    Nauubusan ng Ingles si Manny kay Anjali Rao but he was still able to made Anjali laugh
    He sounds sincere and funny even in halting english

    Hey, you need to leave Manny alone. This is a free country. He can speak whatever language he wants.

    A friendly commnent lang po......Now (and even before pa) that Manny has Millions of $$$$, I think it's about time to consider himself taking English Lessons. It would be nice to see and hear him answering questions correctly.

    Congratulations Pacman! :)

    Why people here are so concern with his english communication skills? It's not really a big deal! He can communicate his thoughts well.

    Pacman speaks English better than most people around the globe. True or False?
    The answer is TRUE.
    Pacman is the best boxer alive. True or False?
    The answer is TRUE

    Anonymous ( May 6, 2009 at 7:32 PM )

    The second answer is wrong. It is FALSE because Manny is the best boxer of all time including the dead ones.

    magaling magaling magaling! kahaba haba man ng usapan, hindi pa rin nakakalimutan ni manny mag "tenk you God for everytsing"

    GOD Bless The PHILIPPINES!
    GOD Bless The POLITICOS!
    GOD Bless The Corrupt!
    GOD Bless Manny!

    Wag ka ng tumakbo sa congress! mas maraming ka pang maiibigay na tulong sa buong pilipinas rather than running for a congress seat.

    in expressing his thoughts, manny pacquiao is far more intelligent and professional than other politicians in the Philippines.

    galing sa dugo at pawis niya ang tulong na ibinabahagi niya sa kanyang mga kababayan. di tulad ng mga politicong kunyari tumutulong pero sa pangungurakot naman pinanggalingan ng mga nun..

    Lets face it, Manny is now the face of boxing. That's some responsibility. His communications skill is getting better and he needs to communicate his thoughts more effectively to the world. He made millions of dollars. A few thousand is nothing to invest in improving his conversational and interview skills. Why not hire a good interpreter, instead?

    Manny speaks english better than the Mexicans. He doesn't need an intrepreter. I understand him perfectly well.

    Manny Pacquiao has a mother tonque of Cebuano speaking Filipino, even most of the admired Filipino boxers who went to the top ranking positions of IBF and WBC.
    My point is, Cebuanos really make difference..

    eh ano kung carabao english, magaling naman sa boksing.

    kanya kanya ng kapalaran ang tao---magaling magsalita ng english wala naman magandang hanapbuhay, magaling mag english at madami pera pero kahit piso hindi makatulong sa kababayan, magaling mag english panay naman kasamaan nasa isip.....

    buti na yan ganyan si pacquiao, kahit hindi fluent sa english, mabuti naman ang kalooban. hayaan na natin sya na ganyan mag english kung ayaw nya mag improve sa pagsalita ng english basta wag lang magbabago ugali nya sa mga kababayan nya na kailangan ng tulong

    Manny's humility really makes him an adorable Filipino Icon.

    Anonymous ( September 11, 2009 at 11:37 AM )

    it doesnt matter whether he's good in english or not as long as he knows how to help less fortunate people.............unlike those government officials in the philippine they are fluent in english but rubbish........KURAKOT....
