Pacquiao vs Bradley 2 Fight 2014: Former US President Clinton Thinks Manny Should be Philippine President?

Filipino boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao has traditionally appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" before a match. He made another pre-fight appearance on April 2, 2014 on the ABC talk show to promote his rematch against reigning WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley, writes SB Nation. The match is set on April 12, 2014. Bradley took the title from Pacquiao in a split decision in their first bout, and remains undefeated. 

Another star was also on the show, former President Bill Clinton. The democrat happily welcomed Pacquiao, who is also currently serving as a congressman in his native country. Clinton is well-known as a liberal, while Pacquiao is more conservative in politics. Apparently, Clinton was impressed by all of the boxer-actor-congressman's achievements and expressed his hopes that Pacquiao would one day win the presidential elections in the Philippines, as reported by The Ring. 

Kimmel at one point asked Clinton if he missed being president. Clinton included Pacquiao in his answer by saying, "When you're doing something you know you can't do forever, you have to organize your life so you don't spend a minute, if possible, wishing you could do something you can't do any more. You know, you're going to have Manny on here in a few minutes. He's already in the Philippine parliament and I hope he goes right up the ladder. I think he's a great guy and he's a great role model for the country. He's very smart and honest, and so he's thinking about the rest of his life," said Yahoo! Sports.

Clinton's answer, according to Yahoo!, suggests that "he hoped that Pacquiao would one day be elected the country's president."

Pacquiao was introduced in the show after which Kimmel added that his loss against Bradley was an injustice. The comedian proceeded to ask Pacquiao later about his thoughts on politics. The southpaw replied, "Right now, I'm focused on my position as a congressman." He added, "and boxing - especially this coming April 12." During the interview with Pacquiao, Kimmel showed a photo of the Filipino standing beside Clinton in Las Vegas, with his left fist up to Clinton's chest.
