WATCH: Pacquiao shows off Scottish accent

MANILA - Sarangani congressman and boxing champ Manny Pacquiao's English skills seem to be growing by leaps and bounds.

An Instagram post showed the Pacman making an appearance at the NBC shorts show Men in Blazers to talk about football, boxing and his upcoming film.

Pacquiao told hosts Roger Bennett and Michael Davies that he is from Scotland and he was "fighting for freedom against the Englishmen."





This is not the first time that Pacquiao has imitated a Scottish accent. A YouTube video posted in 2010 showed the Pacman talking with a Scottish accent.

"I am from Scotland. Our hero is William. William Wallace," he said.

Pacquiao is promoting his documentary “Manny", which recently had a star-studded premier at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood on Tuesday night.

The event was attended by several showbiz and sports personalities including Jeremy Piven, “Sugar” Ray Leonard, Chuck Liddel, Arianne Celeste, and several others.

Pacquiao earlier told TMZ staff that he no longer wants to pursue a career in music.

“My first album in the Philippines is platinum so that's good enough,” Pacquiao said, referring to his album “Laban Nating Lahat Ito” that featured the hit single, “Para Sa Yo ang Laban na ‘To.”

The boxing superstar also held concerts, usually after his victories in the ring.

But after his remake of Dan Hill's popular 1970's ballad, “Sometimes When We Touch,” Pacquiao stopped recording songs.

The boxer said he no longer sings frequently like he used to.

“I like singing, I love music,” said Pacquiao. “But I don't think music loves me.”
