Nike Puts Pacquiao in Towering L.A. Billboard
Asian Journal, Joseph Pimentel, Posted: Oct 13, 2009
HOLLYWOOD – It’s another first for Manny Pacquiao. The "pound-for-pound" ring king became the first Filipino athlete to be featured in a major billboard in Los Angeles. Nike, a Pacquiao sponsor, now features the Filipino boxing hero on a billboard campaign promoting its AW77 hood sweatshirt.
The towering billboard, located on top of the Nike Montalban Theater in Hollywood on Selma Avenue and Vine Street, shows Pacquiao wearing a gray and teal blue hooded sweater with a scowl on his face.
"For him to be on an actual billboard, that’s a big statement," said Anthony Nguyen, a passerby. "Manny Pacquiao is the man. He’s the hero of the Philippines. Everyone loves him over here in America, and I think it’s good timing especially with the fight coming up soon."
"I just twittered it because I want all my friends to see it," he added.
