And read the accompanying story… in Tagalog Come on Pinoy Fans, can anyone translate this for us, please?
that funny batista jsut had surgery and has a brace on his left arm and you all think he gonna do a nother movie he hasnt even said he was going too stop the damn rumors
Here’s that article translated from Filipino to English (sorry, I’m a bit rusty):
A battle will ensue between boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and Batista, the wrestling champion with Filipino blood—but not inside the boxing ring nor the wrestling ring, but in a movie entitled “Wapakman”.
According to GMA News reporter Bernadette Reyes in the Chikka Minute portion of “24 Oras” (a local news show) on Tuesday, Manny will start shooting for said film in July where her leading lady will be Filipino-blooded Nicole Scherzinger, lead singer of the group Pussycat Dolls.
According to Manny himself, he will have super powers in this movie, which is being compared to the comedy/action movie style of “Kung Fu Hustle”.
“I have superpowers, and I have some kids … I actually have a lot of kids in that movie,” Manny happily states.
And what does Manny have to say about Nicole, her sexy and beautiful leading lady?
“I’m happy and honored to be with a Filipino-American who is also famous,” said the Philippines’ national fist.
And if in his match with British ‘Hitman’ Ricky Hatton, Manny’s bodyguard was the wrestler Batista, whose real name is David Michael Bautista, they will now be mortal enemies in “Wapakman”.
How will Manny win over the huge Batista? Viewers will just have to wait until the movie comes out.
Even if he is currently being active in show business, Manny reassures that he won’t neglect his training for his next fight which would most probably be sometime in October.
And here’s a link to the teaser trailer in YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzUWaEv3Eo0
ok how he suppose to do a movie when that brace wont come off for three more weeks and tehn he got training to get back in the ring plus rehab on that elbow i dont see him doing that stupid movie and until he dave batista say he doing it i dont believe batista can not use his left arm for any thing right now and i doubt he will take a chance on it
