Manny Pacquiao selfies were part of Samsung sponsorship

Those watching the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight Saturday night and the build-up the week before the bout may have noticed Pac-Man’s proclivity for taking selfies.

Pacquiao took a selfie prior to his weigh-in, and then he did the same on his way to the ring before the big fight.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but those pics weren’t taken because Manny fancies himself a teenager and planned to share it with his best pals over Snapchat. Rather, Pacquiao signed an endorsement deal with Samsung and was just employing a creative product placement technique.

Here is the selfie Pacquiao took prior to the weigh-in.
