Hennessy debuts Pacquiao commercial

April 6, 2012 by Jason Cruz 1 Comment

Manny Pacquiao’s first commercial with sponsor Hennessy was released earlier this week.  The commercial is part of the liquor brand’s “Wild Rabbit” campaign which is said to “redefine what it means to be a luxury brand,” according to Hennessy vice president Rodney Williams.

The commercial features the rise to greatness of Pacquiao from a young man in poverty to a successful boxer to a congressman.

Payout Perspective:

Pacquiao’s deal with Hennessy is for 1 year and $1 million dollars.  While the commercial is confusing at first, it accomplishes its goal of conveying a rags to riches story and is very well done.  What it has to do with the cognac I do not know but its a much better effort than the Pacquiao’s State Street Produce commercial.

Right wing grift is so hilariously easy. Just write a very weird and creepy fantasy story you know your paper won’t publish, then make a public show of resigning because of it, and you’ll instantly have a job offer from Clay Travis in your inbox
