When Floyd Mayweather Jr. enters the ring for his mammoth bout with Golden Boy Oscar De la Hoya, his close buddy and well-known rapper 50 Cent will walk him down to the ring with a cool $1 Million cash on his hands to bet on the Pretty Boy, said top music website allhiphop.com. The rap mogul will perform his new single 'Straight to the Bank' when Mayweather approaches the ring.
However, it will not only be Mayweather who will have music blaring when he enters the arena as Filipino boxing sensation Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista has also tapped the emerging hip-hop band 'Pino Boys' to do his entrance music before he faces Argentinian Sergio Manuel Medina.
Bautista will walk into the ring with the Pino Boys' latest single 'Pino Pride,' which is a terrific hip-hop music composed by the group.
Performing under Epod Records, the Pino Boys are made up of Louisville, Kentucky's Bobby Wayne Conley aka 'Yobby' and Fil-Aussies Armando Ravalo and Francis John Montana.
Armando and Francis were born in the Philippines and migrated to Australia at the age of four. They grew up Down Under where they discovered their love for music.
"We will that this music will give Bautista a good recognition worldwide. We have composed this especially for him," said Yobby, who was recently in a Manila visit with Australia's Danny Leigh and Leon Panoncillo, who co-manage the group.
