Rich Davis
In the blood what were they trying to get you to do aside from.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Boxing basically you know just the the normal thing you know like stay in school finish college and all that stuff but yeah but i can't i couldn't.
Rich Davis

Jimwell Pacquiao
Or your dad no my dad's actually on the calmer side you know it's just my mom all the time who's really concerned you know always making sure like oh did you do this did you do that oh like oh what if this happens and stuff like that but yeah but for the most part my dad's just you know quiet and he gives me tips and stuff on what to do yeah now we're going.
Rich Davis
To talk about the fight and everything but speaking of your dad growing up i mean he's manny pac man pacquiao he's your father how intimidating was he when it came to reprimanding you.
Wilmer Valderrama
Actually.
Jimwell Pacquiao
He'S he's actually a really like chill dad you know yeah if we got in trouble it was mostly my mom doing all the talking like that but yeah he's he's he's actually a really chill chill dad now we've seen you.
Rich Davis
Know with famous dads in boxing we've seen it work as a disadvantage sometimes because you grow up and and you're not really fighting out of poverty you're fighting out of you know for your life essentially like like julio cesar chavez junior how does it work as an advantage to you.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Well you know it's it's nice to have like somebody like my dad who's there because the reason why he's like supportive now is because he sees me you know working all the time always going to the gym and yeah i guess it's a it's a good thing that he's there because he he is a legend and you know i could learn a lot from him he's there to guide me and.
Rich Davis
Stuff like that so it keeps you on your toes essentially yes yes yes.
Steve Covino
And freddie roach of course oh yeah talk about an asset with freddie roach.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Huh yeah yeah that's good too you know i see coach freddie here he's here every day man respect to him and yeah it's i'm happy you know i'm happy to be here and yeah i'm ready to go yo jim well.
Steve Covino
Let me let me talk about dad life for a second you became a.
Rich Davis
Dad recently huh huh yeah yeah congratulations.
Steve Covino
How is balancing how is balancing diaper changes and being a dad to a newborn while training for your pro debut you try to is this like a.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Balancing act or what well right now it's mostly my my wife doing the taking care of the baby so you know i'm very lucky to have her and her family's also very supportive you know helping us out with the baby you know just to get me through this fight week and yeah when i come back i'll be i'll be happy.
Rich Davis
Well that makes manny a grandpa that's wow that's crazy how have your parents adjusted to being grandparents they were they.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Were really excited my mom and dad were both very happy you know before my my wife gave birth they were they kept asking like oh is it coming now is it coming now so they were they were really excited what.
Steve Covino
Does manny want to be called what's his grandpa name i actually don't know.
Jimwell Pacquiao
I haven't asked him that i guess.
Steve Covino
I gotta ask him that one what is he gonna get because every grandparent.
Rich Davis
Has their own little name what did you call your grandparents it's probably gonna be the same thing no maybe oh.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Yeah probably probably yeah yeah because i call them by the filipino word for.
Steve Covino
Grandpa so which is what which is.
Jimwell Pacquiao
What no it's lolo and lola lolo.
Steve Covino
And lola yeah let me let me ask you this we just passed the anniversary of the movie rocky making its debut what would you say your favorite boxing movie of all time is if you were to rank some of the famous boxing movies the creeds the rockies what's what's your favorite hmm the good.
Jimwell Pacquiao
One yeah probably rocky you know the one with drago rocky for it yeah.
Rich Davis
Now we're getting to know jim well pacquiao excited for your pro debut this weekend do you have a karaoke song in your back pocket because we've seen you know your family do this plenty of times do you have a go to song in celebration actually no no.
Jimwell Pacquiao
I don't really yeah i don't do all my dad loves to do that but not me not you not you yeah sing no no no i don't.
Rich Davis
Think hey are you a trash talking kind of guy man like when we think about this fight like brandon lally is your pro debut are you a trash talker i know you have respect obviously for your opponent and your father always did but do you buy into the trash talking like what are we going to see here man no no.
Jimwell Pacquiao
That'S not me at all you know i model myself towards my dad you know he's always humble and quiet he lets his fists do the talking so i try to be the same way.
Steve Covino
Let me ask you this in the boxing world we're seeing sort of a hybrid of like you know legit boxing and some of these like spectacle fights you're going to be watching the jake paul and anthony joshua next month yeah.
Jimwell Pacquiao
You know i if it's boxing if it's any type of fighting i i do love to watch so i'm gonna be watching for sure you think you.
Steve Covino
Think he has a chance against aj anthony joshua jake paul like what do.
Jimwell Pacquiao
You think not zero zero aj all.
Rich Davis
The way for sure agreed agreed and speaking of future fights because then i want to talk about your fight too in the preparation but there's a few future fights in the works your manny pacquiao promotions december sixth you got pitbull cruz and lamont roach who do you got on that card that's a good.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Fight i'm supporting our guy of course you know pitbull cruz he's tough he's strong and yeah we've seen him battle.
Steve Covino
In person he's unbelievable pitbull cruz is.
Rich Davis
Great and i'm rooting for him too but vermont roach man he fought real he fought tank real tough so i think it's going to be a battle you got you're going to be at the fight i imagine right how is.
Jimwell Pacquiao
It for you i don't know yet we'll see because you know i i do have a newborn so that's true i'll be there at the fight but.
Rich Davis
Yeah your whole childhood has probably been just going to fights and going to fights all the time i imagine right so you don't really need to go.
Jimwell Pacquiao
To all these fights yeah yeah growing up yeah every time my dad fought we'd always be watching you know pay per view and stuff like that was.
Rich Davis
That nerve wracking for you as a kid or was that just everyday life.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Oh no yeah like as we got closer it's it's definitely nerve wracking especially on the day of the fight you know the nerves are there yeah and.
Rich Davis
I gotta ask you about this since we're talking about jake paul and lamont roach and pitbull cruz a lot of rumors about your dad manny and floyd mayweather too a lot of you know you're on social media you have a big presence on social media there's rumors.
Steve Covino
That you're concerned about dad fighting again is that true yeah yeah i mean.
Jimwell Pacquiao
He'S turning forty seven this december so you know like i love him and i've been watching him ever since and like you know i don't really want him to take any more punishment you know he's he's accomplished a lot and i think his eighth division record is unbreakable so he's already done everything you.
Rich Davis
Know but he looks so good against mario barrios dude i watched that i was in mexico watching that fight you know i was on vacation i had to watch your dad's fight i'm like you know what vacation kuwait i watched he looked really good now i hear barrios is fighting ryan garcia maybe i don't i don't even know but he looked really good you wanted to end like that if you had your choice.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Yeah yeah if it was up to me i would i wouldn't want him to find anymore but you know if he does decide to take one more then you know i'm here to support.
Rich Davis
Him that's great man now got to talk about your preparation you got the great freddie roach as rich said in your corner and i want to know how that relationship works he's seen you grow up so how is it working with him and i want to know how ready you are for this pro debut man we're ready man you know.
Jimwell Pacquiao
We'Ve been working really hard i've been in the gym and yeah it's nice to see coach freddy on a day to day basis you know and there's a lot of good coaches here too in the wild card and a lot of good fighters you know i try to listen to them especially the pros they give me advice and stuff like that so yeah we're one hundred percent.
Steve Covino
Ready now where you are now making the pro debut what's what's so what's what's the goal for you jim well is that a couple years from now your name is in the mix in your division like now we're going to say like you're going to be the guy we're watching on pay per views or what is that like the couple year down the line goal is that where you're looking at it i mean.
Jimwell Pacquiao
You know that that's that's the goal you know you're trying to take this as far as it can go and yeah but we me and my team you know we we like to take it fight by fight so we'll see we'll see in the future well again.
Rich Davis
Fight by fight one step one punch one round at a time as rocky said what is the dream fight for you though like who's got that belt that you want who do you see yourself in the ring with you got to see it to get it right you got to visualize it so who is that guy that you would really like to get that dream fight when you're ready of course when the time is right who would you want to get in the ring with i'm not.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Really sure you know because because of the weight you know i'm still figuring out like what's the perfect weight class for me and and stuff like that so yeah we'll have to see we'll see but i do i do love that championship picture though is there is.
Steve Covino
That an underrated part of boxing finding exactly where you as a boxer fits weight wise because you see some guys they'll go up in weight class but then they'll struggle with power you see a guy go down weight class and he's and he feels like he's you.
Rich Davis
Know it is he's he's a new dad so he's got all those kitty snacks lying around yeah he's probably eating all those all those kitty snacks yeah.
Steve Covino
Yeah but that but that's a big part of it right figuring out just the the right weight for you to.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Dominate at right huh yeah yeah because of course you want to be like in a in a way where you're comfortable you know you're not too drained you want to be strong fight night so yeah we're trying to figure that.
Rich Davis
Out i know you're not like if you follow your dad's sort of footprint you're not a prediction kind of guy but are we going for that it's your pro debut though in a knockout statement yeah what sort of statement are we looking forward to this saturday you.
Jimwell Pacquiao
Know of course just just a dub man you know if the knockout comes it comes but yeah we're we're gonna.
Rich Davis
Get the win for sure and i'm really excited to see this footwork i hear a lot about your footwork and your dad's influence on the footwork you got some dancing moves how do you get how do you keep this footwork.
Jimwell Pacquiao
In check oh it's just repetition man like practice every single day in the gym you know and every time i would talk to my dad he'd remind me like constantly so yeah just every day repetition you know practice well we're.
Steve Covino
Pumped to check out temecula california pechanga.
