During a lull in Manny Pacquiao's training for the November 12th Juan Manuel Marquez fight, boxing's current P4P king showed us his Joe Cortez- like refereeing skills as well as his Michael 'Buffer-esque' chops in a 'friendly' boxing match between two members of Team Pacquiao.
Weep err laugh at your own risk.

Kick-ass: Nike unveils Manny Pacquiao's Ring Boot
After months of speculation among boxing fans and shoe enthusiasts, Nike finally unveiled the Manny Pacquiao Ring Boot to the public, which the Filipino boxing superstar will wear during his May 7th welterweight championship fight against Shane Mosley in Las Vegas.
Manny Pacquiao, the current P4P king is a dynamic fighter and is known not only for his explosive power in both hands but also for his mind-boggling speed and footwork, attributes that the shoe purveyors at Nike had kept in mind when they came up with the design of the state-of-the-art MP ring boot which it describes as:
"Blinding speed and cheetah quickness require stability. The next generation of Manny Pacquiao’s ring boot combines lightweight strength with lockdown containment building for Manny’s agility, power and footwork in the ring."
And history is not lost on the Nike designers as well since we all know that great footwear is not only "intended to protect and comfort" the feet but also has become an art form, a decoration or medium that reflects the wearer's fashion sense or personality.
Thus, Nike made a truly beautiful footwear that not only complements Manny Pacquiao's constant activity inside the ring but also pays homage to the Pacman's character and achievements.
Nike describes the ring boot's personalized aesthetics: the "royal blue color pays tribute to the Philippines, while additional touches such as Manny’s logo on the upper, eight stars aligned on the tongue tab, and reflective ink spelling ‘Manny Pacquiao’ wrapping the heel of both boots, provide a personal touch fit for a champion."
...and explains the footwear's technological upside- "Flywire technology strength, herringbone traction and forefoot stability provide technical elements required for a professional bout at boxing’s highest level. Manny’s feet are incredibly quick and strong, in constant motion, creating tremendous torque and rigor on his boots."

ESPN Magazine May Edition features Manny Pacquiao et al
"Show me the money!", the phrase made famous by Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding, Jr. in the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire may have been in the minds of the people behind ESPN Magazine when they decided to focus on the amount of dough an elite athlete makes in a year.
The May 2011 edition of ESPN Magazine features Filipino boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao with the NY Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and Swiss tennis great Roger Federer on its cover.
The Pacman and A-Rod head the all- star list in the magazine's "Best- paid athletes in 30 sports" with both athletes taking home $32,000,000 last year.
Race car driver Kimi Raikkonen (26,333,333), the LA Lakers guard Kobe Bryant (24,800,000) and Real Madrid forward Christiano Ronaldo (19,500,000) round up the top five highest- paid athletes of 2010.
