Morning Buzz

Laugh Track....Chess Match

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel said of the upcoming Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight, “The most anticipated fight for many years. They’re expected to break every pay-per-view record. Floyd and Manny had a press conference here in L.A. today. By the way, Floyd and Manny? This doesn’t sound like two guys that would fight. It sounds like guys you would play chess with in Washington Square Park.” More Kimmel: “Last night Amar'e Stoudemire of the Dallas Mavericks did some interviews after a tough loss at home. He told reporters he believes his teammates need to stop clowning around and act like professionals. 'Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a marching band to lead.' Why is he dressed like a bell hop at the Grand Budapest Hotel?”

Kimmel said of the Pacquiao-Mayweather press conference, “Before the press conference they held a red carpet event, which to me seems overly glamorous for guys who wear shorts to work. All the major sports news outlets were there, including our very own Guillermo.” Show regular Guillermo attended the event and asked the personalities questions on the red carpet (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 3/11).
