I'm ready (to fight) right now! - Pacquiao

Hollywood (Thursday Night)
After his training at the Wild Card Gym, the Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiao, along with his supporters in a convoy of six vehicles, proceeded to the show of Jimmy Kimmel.

"I'm ready (to fight) right now," Pacquiao answered when Jimmy Kimmel, the American talk-show host asked him about his preparations on May 7 upcoming fight. Pacquiao will fight to defend his WBO Welterweight crown against the American-African Shane Mosley.

But he backed a bit, when the host asked him if he will knock out Mosley. He said he only wants to give boxing fans "a good fight".

During the packed show last Thursday, Pacman did not sing to his fans but cuts from his debut CD single/DVD in the United States were played, including his version of “Sometimes When We Touch,” the 1977 smash hit of Canadian Dan Hill. The CD was done in collaboration with Hill and the song’s original producers.

At the same time, Pacquiao also managed to make a pitch for his own line of perfume, the MP scent.

This is Pacman's fourth appearance on the said show. The first one was in November 2009 before his fight against Miguel Cotto, and also the time where Pacquiao sang John Lennon's "Imagine".
