Jimmy Kimmel spent time in Las Vegas this past weekend as a member of Manny Pacquiao’s entourage before the “Fight of the Century.”

When you’re a member of a boxer’s entourage, you have to believe that you’ve made it as a person. In the case of Manny Pacquiao, he seems to let anyone in, as long as they ask politely. One such person who became “Manny’s Justin Beiber” was late night show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Apparently, he was curious as to why Floyd Mayweather had a guy like Justin Beiber leading him into the ring while Pacquiao didn’t have anyone but his trainer, Freddie Roach.

Kimmel talked about his awkward time as a member of the entourage as he appeared on national television walking the prized fighter to the ring.

Just listen to Kimmel’s explanation of the night and watch the video of Pacquiao’s entrance and try not to laugh too hard.

Just a couple of weeks before the fight, Manny appeared on the shows with Jimmy and the host asked if he could be his Beiber and walk him to the ring. Unbelievable, Manny agreed to it and on Saturday night, it all came to life.

Watching Kimmel awkwardly jog behind Pacquiao, and even take a selfie with Manny and his trainer, was quite the sight and it was something that really needed to be described by the late show host himself.

The explanation of the night didn’t disappoint as he described his awkward one-on-one time in Pacquiao’s locker room before the fight as he wore a ridiculous shirt depicting Pacman eating little Floyd Mayweather heads, gold chains and a stupid hat.

Great story from Kimmel on a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
