Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant revealed his pick for the upcoming bout between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto on November 14. His pick is no surprise seeing that his pick is also his Nike stablemate, Manny Pacquiao.
“Kobe Bryant thinks the world of Manny Pacquiao, and believes the Filipino slugger will have no trouble disposing of welterweight titleholder Miguel Cotto in their upcoming bout. In Manila to kick off a whirlwind six-city Asian tour organized by Nike for the launch of its Dream Season model, the 2008 National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player had only good words to say of the sport’s reigning pound-for-pound king. “It’s not even a question,” he argued when asked if the Philippines’ pride would emerge victorious in the Nov. 15 fight. “I do.”"
Manny and Kobe also worked together on several commercial advertisement campaigns in the past week for Nike.
