isps and I headed down to the Montalban Theatre in Hollywood tonight to see Manny Pacquiao have a Q&A with 1,000 of his biggest fans before he heads to Las Vegas for next weekends fight against Miguel Cotto.

Nike brought out the customization truck allowing fans to put their own creative spin on their AW 77 hoodies.

This little dude’s mohawk was no joke.

This dude was puffing on a square while doing tai chi on the sidewalk. He ended up doing some shadow boxing and got in a full training session on the streets of Hollywood.

These kids had the chance to train on the roof of the Montalban Theatre this week and get a glimpse into the training that Pac Man goes through as he prepares for a fight. You couldn’t have found five more excited people in the theatre…

Pac Man is without a doubt a renaissance man. World champion boxer, basketball team owner, actor and singer. He jumped in on a duet and let the vocal chords put in some work as well. And being the consummate entrepreneur, he made sure everyone knew his band would be performing in LA the week after his title fight.

This picture was way blurrier than I would have wanted it to be, but I’m a fan of both of these dudes. P Rod and Levi Maestro  are two cats that are passionate about what they do so I had to include a photo of these two chopping it up.

Regardless of the the sport, I love seeing how world class athletes interact with their fans. Manny Pacquiao seemed genuinely happy and excited to be in the theatre fielding questions from his fans. It also always amazes and inspires me to be in the presence of someone who is literally the best in the world at what they do. I always feel like I learn so much from these experiences, and tonight was further proof of that for me. Big ups to our girl Jacie for looking after us tonight!
