The ballad, Lalaban Ako Para Sa Filipino (I will fight for the Filipino), is a collaboration between Pacquiao and Filipino singer/songwriter Lito Camo.
The music video features scenes from Pacquiao’s training camp for the May 2 fight as well as scenes from the recording studio.
The music video also includes scenes of some of the tragedies that hit the Philippines in recent years. As of this writing, the video was already viewed over 2.5 million times from the time Pacquiao posted it on his official Facebook, which also garnered positive comments from fans.
Mayweather is likely to be accompanied into the ring by Canadian pop superstar Justin Bieber, who has part of his entourage in previous fights. The American boxing icon’s entrance song will contrast sharply with that of Pacquiao as Mayweather prefers a rap number. He was accompanied into the ring by Lil Wayne in his fight against Marcos Maidana last year.
Pacquiao, who stands to make at least $120 million from the fight, is considered the underdog against Mayweather.
