Manny Pacquiao faces a lot of activities aside from his boxing training months before his biggest fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. These activities does not distract the eight-division champion. Instead, he considers them to be his way of life, according to his promoter Bob Arum.
"He is used to a certain level of activity. He has always had that in the Philippines and here, too. He wants people around him. He wants there to be a lot going on. He thrives on it," Arum explained.
One of these recent distractions is the boxer's mansion purchase. He just won the bid for the $12 million Beverly Hills property. Thanks to his upcoming fight, he sealed the deal after offering the dealers four tickets for the match.
Despite these activities going on simultaneously with his training, Pacquiao's camp is confident that he is focused on his match.
According to USA Today, Pacman's publicist Fred Sternburg calls him "the eye of the hurricane" because of the boxer's busy life as a boxing champ, a politician, a singer, an actor and a basketball coach.
Instead of getting distracted, the boxer sees the busy like as a source of energy for the fight.
"I like busy. It is good for me to have energy," Pacquiao explained.
On the other hand, while Pacquiao exposes himself into the limelight that even his training is seen by crowds of fans; his opponent does the exact opposite.
Mayweather Jr. trains with minimum media coverage and unlike Pacquiao, his training updates are minimal. One of these coverage would be the training video he posted as seen in Daily Mail UK, in which the undefeated boxing champ shows his training sessions for the big fight.
Despite having different training styles and preparations, both boxers promised to give boxing fans a fight that would be written in the world' history.
