Manny Pacquiao, Batista and Nicole Sherzinger to start filming movie

WWE star Batista will play the villain in an upcoming film starring pound-for-pound boxing king Manny Pacquiao and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

WWE star Batista will play the villain in an upcoming film starring pound-for-pound boxing king Manny Pacquiao and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

According to GMA News, pound-for-pound boxing king Manny Pacquiao will begin filming the movie Wapakman in July, starring alongside Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and WWE star Batista, who will play the movie's villain with Pacquiao as the hero. Batista, as you likely recall, is part-Filipino himself and accompanied Pacquiao to the ring for his May 2 fight against Ricky Hatton.

The movie will reportedly be similar to Kung Fu Hustle, a critically-acclaimed martial arts comedy. Pacquiao says that shooting will not interfere with his boxing schedule at all, and given that he doesn't fight again until November, I see no reason it would.

I think there's some definite cult classic potential here. A boxing superstar, a wrestling superstar, and a pop superstar. Martial arts. Comedy. What's not to like?

That's going to look weird.

Isn't she like 5'11"?

And isn’t she really a man?

I don’t know about anyone else, but I find her extraordinarily unattractive. Just looks fake fake fake from head to toe, and doesn’t even have any singing talent to boot.

I’ve never been much into her either. I don’t “get” her. I also don’t get peoples’ boner for her singing the anthem. It’s nothing special at all.

I never heard of this broad before, but Google claims she is this:

Is Mr. Google lying again? Cause she looks kinda smokin to me.

That's her all right

Former stripper who can’t sing who’s had more plastic surgery than Michael Jackson. Whoop dee doo. The whole fake tits, fake nose, fake lips thing just really turns me off.

Well, I don’t want anyone messing up the anthem I suppose. But I don’t know about comparing Jackson’s hatchet-jobs to what we see here. I mean, with all Jackson’s money, you think he could have at least gotten a good, competent plastic surgeon, instead of whichever blindfolded mortician he kept hiring.

kinda

But you also have to take into account the insane LEVEL of his plastic surgeries. The man was trying to change his bone structure.

He should've called up Humberto Soto

It reminds me of what Pipino used to do to guys. Someone once asked me if I thought Pipino could’ve beat DLH, and I told them “No, but he would erase his female audience in four rounds.”
