Accept no Substitutions – @Manny Pacquiao is Pacquiao’s Authorized, Verified Twitter Account:
He came. He saw. He Tweeted. Manny Pacquiao the eight-division world champion and lone congressional representative from the Sarangani province in the Philippines, has returned to Twitter. Manny’s authorized user name is @MannyPacquiao.
Of course Pacquiao has been on Twitter before, and it hasn’t worked out. This is interesting timing, considering the in-depth ProBoxing-Fans.com column which debuted yesterday, detailing Mosley’s and Pacquiao’s Twitter presences, and the popular #SugarTime campaign being used to promote the Pacquiao vs. Mosley bout.
Fans are invited to follow Manny as he trains with Freddie Roach for his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title defense against three-division world champion Sugar Shane Mosley (@SugarShaneM). Pacquiao returns to Los Angeles on Saturday where he will resume his training at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, Calif.
Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs), of General Santos City, Philippines and Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs), of Pomona, Calif., have won world titles in 11 weight divisions between them. They will go toe-to-toe on Saturday, May 7, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nev. Named the “Fighter of the Decade” by the Boxing Writers Association of America, Pacquiao will be making his first ring appearance in The Fight Capital of the World since 2009.
Promoted by Top Rank, in association with MP Promotions, Sugar Shane Mosley Promotions, Tecate and MGM Grand, Pacquiao vs. Mosley will be produced and distributed live by SHOWTIME PPV®.
