Manny Pacquiao has plans to get crackin' with Wonderful Pistachios. Wonderful Pistachios has announced its sponsorship of the Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez fight on December 8, 2012 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Along with the sponsorship, Wonderful Pistachios will also debut its Get Crackin' commercial starring Pacquiao during Monday Night Football. In the commercial, Pacquiao warms up on a speed bag, and when he goes in for the final knockout, pistachios burst out of the bag and at the screen as the announcer says, "Manny Pacquiao does it with a knockout punch."
Wonderful Pistachios is also sponsoring the USA Boxing all-time record holder and 2012 Olympian, Jose Ramirez. The athlete boasts 145 wins, 11 national titles and six consecutive USA gold medals. Ramirez is making his professional boxing debut on December 8th as the undercard of the fourth meeting between Pacquiao and Marquez.
"As athletes, Manny Pacquiao and Jose Ramirez are the epitome of physical health, and as one of the lowest calorie, lowest fat nuts, Wonderful Pistachios are an excellent snack choice for competitors and fans alike," said Mark Masten, Vice President of Global sales and Marketing, Paramount Farms. "Sponsoring this fight is an opportunity for Wonderful Pistachios to reach the boxing community by having a presence at the main event, and with our consumers watching at home. It's a knockout win for all!" Paramount Farms is the parent company of Wonderful Pistachios.
