As Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather's fight of the century looms, both have been hard at work training. In fact on Friday Pacquiao posted a video of his arduous training on his Instagram account. Pac-man captioned the video with the following message:
"Training hard every day. Thank you to my fans for pushing me and encouraging me. Thank you Lord for the strength you've given to me."
For those who don't know, The Wild Card gym in Los Angeles is Manny's home for grueling trainings before every match, as reported in The L.A. Times. This gym is owned by none other than Pacquiao's long-term trainer, Freddie Roach.
Roach has always been open about pushing the Filipino boxing champ to his limits to succeed. The veteran trainer revealed he has always motivated Pacquiao to never let low downs veer him away from his determination to conquer the ring:
"The other day, he tells me he has a sore leg,"
"I tell him to fight through it, keep going. He does, then shows me afterward. It wasn't a sore leg. He had a blister on his foot."
Shane Mosley had a word of advice for Pacquiao if the latter would like to emerge victorious at the Mayweather bout, as reported in The Mirror Online. Mayweather's 2010 rival said:
"He [Pacquiao] can't give Mayweather a chance to get comfortable or to pick up on his rhythm. If he is going to win, it's going to have to be in the first three or four rounds, tops."
Mosley was not shy in expressing his opinion about the two boxing champs, though, as he said:
"I would have to go with Mayweather, although I like Manny personally and wish him the best."
Meanwhile, Sporting News reported that Pacquiao has been intent on investing complete concentration during training to maximize victory on May 2. Pac-Man allegedly closes doors before and after workouts and trainings from the media. Manny is reportedly going to open his availability for press interviews no earlier than April 15, as reported in The L.A. Times. Manny has scheduled April 15 as his media day before the long-awaited match.
