Air Pacquiao? Manny getting a new Nike line?

Take it with a grain of salt because it's The Examiner and more specificaly Michael Marley reporting it

“Manny is going to Oregon, up to Nike headquarters to meet the big boss, Phil Knight, and all the other top people with the company. Nike is planning a huge Pacman product line along the lines of Air Jordan and all the things they did with and for Michael Jordan,” Arum said.

I know Top Rank has taken over the marketing and advertising of Pac-Man, so I wouldn't be shocked if this was true. Still, it's coming from Marley.

He has a signature shoe out now. If he's getting an entire brand like Jordan did that is incredible. Nike gives these athletes these lines for fear of them starting their own and nike not sharing in the profits. So far they've only done it with Jordan Brand.

Yeah, I know he's got his signature brand shoe, which is pretty butt ugly shoe to be honest.

But yeah, sounds like he's getting a bigger line of shit from Nike.

Some Mailbox store out here was selling Pacquiao shirts lol

Walked by it on my way to Safeway and my wife pointed it a few months back before Pac-Mosley. Dude is big

I hope he get's a better shoe from this over the ones he's got now, which look like they were made for a clown

I know it's the whole Filipino pride and everything, but you wouldn't catch me dead wearing star spangled R/W/B kicks lol.

In Italy they wear driving shoes and wrestling shoes.

I have the Pac shoes, never wore em. Got them as a collectable. I collect sneakers and these are the first signature shoes a boxer has had. They are so ugly theyre cool imo.

So weird how Manny's sponsored by Nike and not Floyd.

Floyd was sponsored by Reebok for a bit and Ward was sponsored by Jordan before he started to really get known. Not sure the reason, but it didn't stick with either.
