Confident Pacquiao plans Vegas concert after Cotto bout

MANILA – Fans of People’s Champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao in Las Vegas, Nevada are in for a treat next month.

Aside from his much anticipated bout with Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico on November 14, Pacquiao is also hosting an after-fight concert at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino for his supporters.

Pacman’s Canadian adviser Mike Koncz said the show is on regardless of the outcome of the “Firepower” showdown.

Taking center stage with Pacquiao is “Britain’s Got Talent’s” semi-finalist Madonna Decena and her “Candy” band from the United Kingdom. Pacquiao is managing Decena’s singing career.

"Kung hindi maganda ang kondisyon ni Manny, I can fill in. So, kapag wala si Manny, if he doesn't feel like singing or kung ano man, ma-cut down man ang kanyang songs, at least may magfi-fill in sa kanya," Decena told abs-cbnNEWS.com in an exclusive interview.

(If his condition isn't good, I can fill in. If he isn't there, if he doesn't feel like singing or wants to cut down on the songs, at least someone will fill in for him.)

An excited Decena disclosed that the after-fight party is also an important event in terms of her career. "Mike Koncz told me that the event would be my official launch. He arranged everything...Kahit paano ay magshi-shine ako in a way," she said.

The Filipino singer said she will sample different types of music in the concert, not just ballads.

She and Pacquiao will also do several duets, including Dan Hill’s “Sometimes When We Touch.”

Pacquiao will also sing his own songs including "Lahing Pinoy" and "Para Sa Iyo."
