Pac wants to meet Jeremy Lin

Manny Pacquiao plans to meet Knicks' Jeremy Lin on trip to New York next week

It is no surprise that boxing rivals Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are on different sides of the fence when it comes to Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin. Mayweather thinks Lin is overhyped because of his Asian heritage and Pacquiao, a congressman and national hero in the Philippines, thinks the Knicks’ guard is Linsational and just wants to shake his hand.

Pacquiao, the WBO welterweight champion, is making plans to meet with Lin at Madison Square Garden next Wednesday. Pacquiao will be in town for a press conference at Chelsea Piers on Thursday to announce his match against Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas on June 9.

Heh, The BobFather desperate hype machine has started. They'll need all the gimicks they can get to sell this fight.

That is just as racist as Mayweathers rant. Pac hasn't declared he wants to meet any other NBA players, has he?

A promoter doing things to hype up a mega fight? That has to be a 1st!
