I guess KG heard about Pacman being a big fan of his since his days as a Timberwolf. Now that he's a Celtic, Pacman jumped on the bandwagon. Pacman admitted himself that he was jumping with joy during game 6 of the Finals. It's a dream come true for Manny Pacquiao to finally meet the player he idolizes. You guys think KG treated the C's to watch the fight?

Manny's promoter was actually going to come through and get them tickets to ringside until the venue caught wind that the big three wanted to come and gave them free seats. They are very in demand right now, like rock stars.

what a show by Manny Pacman. And Yes, Pacman is a Celtic Fan. He even predicted C's victory over the Lakers. Congrats to both champs!

I'm a big Pacman fan and it was good to see some Celtics player support him.

That video was taken down on Youtube. Apparently there is a picture post fight of PacMan with the Big 3. Can anyone find that?

"Somewhere in the arena was Lakers reserve Luke Walton who quietly watched the bout without fanfare. He wasn’t invited to Pacquiao’s dressing room."

You should have seen Manny's face when the champions arrived in his locker room... Priceless is the word, personally it was the greatest part of the fight night because the Pacman is such a big basketball fan.
Just to add, Manny is indeed a big big fan of basketball... He owns a basketball team (Called Pacman) in a regional league in the Philippines and is part of the team as well! He is known in the court as a left-handed shooter who is also capable of playing the point because of average handles.
Also, there are countless times that Freddie Roach (coach/trainer) is angered by Manny because he plays ball even DURING training leading up to a fight!!! (Imagine if his ankles get hurt, etc..)
He is also a bandwagoner though. i think he was really excited when he did a shoot with Kobe for his Nike commercial--- not too sure how big a fan he is of Bryant but what is true is that he is really just a big, big basketball and NBA fan.
