Manny Pacquiao took time from training for his upcoming rumble with Juan Manuel Márquez to make another boffo appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night. As usual, Pacquiao’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel didn’t disappoint. This time, Kimmel unveiled 24/7 Manny Pacquiao vs. Guillermo Rodriguez 4, Pacquiao’s upcoming match against the man, the legend, Guillermo.
This was Manny’s seventh consecutive appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in as many pay-per-view promotions, dating back to November 3, 2009 when he knocked out Miguel Cotto to claim the welterweight title. That 2009 appearance also marked Manny’s U.S. network TV debut.
After catching up with Manny on his life and training for his upcoming high-stakes welterweight battle against Márquez, Kimmel announced Manny’s next fight – against sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez — with his own all-access unreality segment, 24/7 Pacquiao/Rodriguez 4, which also featured Rodriguez’s trainer Yehya, Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum and Hall of Fame trainer World-Famous Freddie Roach.
It was pretty hilarious, because they had Pacquiao in there, they had Arum and Roach, and everyone was commenting on the fight. It had been scheduled three times, but Guillermo kept on pulling out, for reasons including being drunk.
This time though, Pacquiao vs. Rodriguez was really going to happen — until Guillermo stepped on the scales for the weigh-in and, of course, was ridiculously overweight, by an even 100 pounds. He then rejoices that he didn’t have to fight Pacquiao, and Pacquiao is heartbroken that he did it to him again!

Definitely good stuff from Manny Pacquiao on Jimmy Kimmel once again!
