An estimated 500 billboards featuring Manny Pacquiao will be placed in Nike stores across America soon.

Pacquiao was among a bevy of sports stars who underwent a pictorial at the Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles as part of their contractual obligations with the leading sports apparel manufacturer (NIKE).

Others who struck a pose were basketball icon Kobe Bryant and tennis diva Maria Sharapova.

A Team Pacquiao member said all the Nike talents had their pictorials separately but at around 5:30 p.m., as Pacquiao was wrapping up his session, Bryant arrived and the two exchanged pleasantries.

Pacquiao arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday night and after his Wednesday afternoon shoot, the pound-for-pound king went to the airport to take the Philippine-bound Philippine Airlines jet that touches down in Manila at 6 a.m. today.

Pacquiao, who fights next on Nov. 14 possibly against Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico, had to return to the Philippines so he could fulfil all his showbiz commitments.
